How to Buy a large laser cutting machine

Laser cutting machines generally range from hundreds of thousands to millions. Generally, the price of 300W-500W fiber laser cutting machine is between 200,000 and 600,000; the price of 500W to -1000W fiber laser cutting machine is between 500,000 and 1.2 million; the price of 1000W-2000W laser cutting machine is between 1 million- It ranges from 1.5 million and may be higher. More than 2000W belongs to high-power enclosed fiber laser cutting machine. Relatively speaking, there are fewer choices on the market, and there are many factors that affect the price of high-power laser cutting machine. The main influences include: laser type, laser cutting machine power, machine configuration, Brand and other factors.

First of all, the prices of large laser cutting machines using different lasers are different. The basis for selection is the material of the enclosed fiber laser cutting machine. There are three types of YAG lasers, CO2 lasers, and fiber lasers on the market. Among them, YAG laser cutting machine is used for punching, spot welding and cutting of thin plates. The energy efficiency is low and non-metallic materials cannot be cut. The CO2 laser cutting machine can cut thicker metal sheet materials and has a good cutting effect on non-metallic materials. The fiber laser cutting machine is mainly used to cut thin metal sheets within 20mm. Various lasers have advantages and disadvantages. When considering the price of a large laser cutting machine, the cost of use should also be considered: From the perspective of cost, YAG has high maintenance costs and CO2 lasers have good non-metal cutting effects, but the photoelectric conversion efficiency is low and maintenance costs are high. , Fiber lasers have low cost without consumables, but the range of cutting materials is small.
Then, the power directly affects the price of a large laser cutting machine, and the cutting power is directly related to the thickness of the cutting material. Take our commonly used stainless steel and carbon steel as an example. At present, the 1000W enclosed fiber laser cutting machine can cut carbon steel with a maximum thickness of 10mm and stainless steel with a maximum thickness of 5mm; 4500W laser cuts stainless steel with a maximum thickness of 20mm, but the quality of the cutting surface above 12mm is not guaranteed, and below 12mm Absolutely bright cut. The cutting capacity of 6000W will be better, but the price is also higher.

About the brand of large laser cutting machine. At present, large-scale enclosed fiber laser cutting machine brands have blossomed everywhere, all over the country, but there is a mixture of fish and dragons, the quality of various equipment is uneven, and after-sales disputes are frequent. Large-scale laser cutting machines cost tens of millions and are expensive, and their quality and after-sales guarantee are very important. Therefore, do a good job of investigation when choosing a brand, and try to choose the manufacturer that has cooperated.

Finally, I have determined what kind of large-scale laser cutting machine needs how much power, and there are several intentional brands, and the approximate budget is already known. Finally, you can negotiate one by one, compare the parameters of large-scale laser cutting machine format, cutting speed, cutting accuracy, CNC system, etc., and buy the best.
