focus pointRelationship of the focus point and the material of fiber laser cutting machine-Cathy

1.Focus point on the surface of the material

This method also calls 0 focal length, in this method, the focus point close to the surface of the material. In this way, the smoothness of the upper and lower surfaces of the material is different. The near-focus cutting surface is more smooth. The lower surface away from the focus point is more rough. You should use this mode according to the process requirements of the upper and lower surfaces in the actual application.

2. Focus point inside the material

This method also calls positive focal length. When the material you need to cut is stainless steel or aluminum, you should set the focus inside the material. However, as the cutting surface is far away from the surface of the material, the cutting edge width is larger than the focus point on the surface of the material. Meanwhile the cutting gas in this method need to be more stronger. The temperature need to be enough. The cutting perforation time is slightly longer. Therefore, you should use this mode when the material you choose is mainly stainless steel or aluminum material and hard material.

3. Focus point on the material

This method we also calls negative focal length. Because the cutting point is not on the surface of the cutting material nor inside the cutting material, but rather above the cutting material. This method mainly used for cutting thick materials. Why focus on the top of the cutting material? Because the thick plate needs a large cutting width. Otherwise the oxygen delivered by the nozzle is very likely not enough. And lead to lowered the cutting temperature. However, the cutting surface in this method is rough and not practical for high precision cutting.

Learn these points and make your lasers last longer!

As we all know, the core component of fiber laser equipment is a laser. If the laser is damage, the machine will not work properly, which will seriously cause the entire laser to scrappe. It will directly affect the satisfaction of the end-users. The most important thing is that the terminal customers are not professional enough and will only complain about suppliers and equipment vendors. According to previous maintenance cases, the phenomenon of water ingress and oil in the laser can avoide.

laser maintenance

1. If possible, place the laser in a control cabinet with heat dissipation and separate it from the machine.

Due to the daily maintenance of the machine tool, a large amount of lubricating oil must add regularly. Or the laser place in an improper position, too much lubricating oil may seep into the laser.

If the laser place inside the machine, be sure to check if there is any oil leaking onto the laser every day.

If find oil leak into the laser, stop using the laser immediately and contact the factory for repair.

2. It is strictly forbidden to place the laser in an area where water or oil is accumulated in the low temperature.

3. Prepare a temperature and humidity meter, put it in the working environment of the laser, and check the temperature and humidity of the site in real time to ensure that the ambient temperature is within the range of 5-40 °C and the relative humidity is below 75%.

4. Before the laser is turned on every day, check that the cooling water pressure is between 1.5-3.5 Bar.

5. Check the water supply of the laser and the joint of the pipe joint for water leakage. If there is any water leakage, it should be repaired in time.

6. Check the laser cooling water circuit for impurities. Replace the chiller filter regularly to ensure the water quality is qualified. Check the water pipe joint for corrosion. If it is, it should be repaired in time.

Inconel, aluminum, aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, copper and other metal materials. Covering the entire The industrial application field of metal materials is widely used in the trial production of molds and small batch production of molded parts.

In the process of moldless processing, various cost of consumption. Rapid response to the market, so intelligent production and safety and environmental protection are more advantageous.

1, no mold processing

In the process of product modification and stamping die modification. The original mold is deepened and the hole position and trimming are processed by using three-dimensional laser cutting technology. Which greatly shortens the trial cycle. At present, three-dimensional laser cutting has the tendency to replace the trimming die and the punching die. For example, in the lightweighting process of automobiles. Thinner high-strength steel sheets are used. Especially for steel sheets with a strength of up to 1500 MPa.

Due to the high strength. The service life of the die or the tool of the conventional equipment is high when processing these high-hardness materials. It will greatly shorten, and laser cutting does not have to consider these issues. In addition, non-planar parts like automotive parts need to be completed by 3D laser cutting. And non-three-dimensional plane cutting can not  do.

In terms of 3D machining, the HyRobot C20 3D robotic fiber laser cutting series developed by. Hansong Songgu Laser replaces the traditional expensive 5-axis machine tool to realize 3D laser cutting, using high-precision Staubli robot.

Since the main working principle of the laser cutting machine relies on the laser. It is said that in the industrial operation. It is necessary to carry out some necessary protective measures to avoid unnecessary damage to the body. Let’s take a look at the necessary protective measures to do when cutting this laser principle.

First, pay attention to the protection of the eyes

Generally, when we use the laser cutting machine, we all tend to look at the cutting head of the laser, but this habit is actually the biggest killer for the eyes, because it has been staring at the sparks generate by the cutting for a long time, The eyes are hurtful. It is obvious that the long-term look will make the eyes feel tingling. This is the most direct damage. At the same time, when the laser is cutting, a special kind of laser is emitting. This substance is highly concentrated in the processing workshop, and is directly focused on the retina by the refractive medium of the eye to form an image, which will make the energy density on the retinal membrane higher than the energy density on the cornea, so it will Causes damage to the cornea or retina of the eye.

Second, skin protection

In addition to the eyes, the laser stimulates the skin is not small, the laser can cause damage to the skin tissue, but the damaged skin can repaire by itself, although the overall function of the skin will reduce, but it will not affect the overall function. The structure, but if you do not pay attention to the irradiation under the laser for a long time, it will cause skin burns or scars, although the laser damage to the skin is much smaller than the eye, but it should also attract enough attention. .

Third, the protection of the respiratory tract

Finally, it is possible to affect our respiratory tract when operating the laser cutter. Because the laser will produce a certain high temperature, this high temperature can combine with the gas to complete various cutting work. In this process, a large amount of dust will  generate. Especially when processing some special metal materials, the generated dust will contain many chemical components. Therefore, it is harmful to the human body after inhalation.

How to cut a good sample with a laser cutter？–Winnie

/in , /by

In laser cutting machines, several key technologies must mastere. And solved for parts with high cutting precision or large thickness. Focus position control is one of them. One of the advantages of laser cutting is that the energy density of the beam is high. So the focal spot diameter is as small as possible to create a narrow slit. Because the focal depth of the focusing lens is smaller, the focal spot diameter is smaller. For high quality cutting, the effective depth of focus  also relate to the lens diameter and the material being cut. It is therefore important to control the position of the focus relative to the surface of the cutting material.

How to cut a good sample with a laser cutter？

Since the laser power density has a great influence on the cutting speed. The choice of lens focal length is an important issue. After the laser beam is focus, the spot size is proportional to the focal length of the lens. After the beam is focuse by the short focal length lens, the spot size is small, and the power density at the focus is high, which is good for material cutting. However, its shortcoming is that the depth of focus is very short and the adjustment margin adjust. Small, generally suitable for high-speed cutting of thin materials. Since the telephoto long lens has a wide focal depth, it is suitable for cutting thick workpieces as long as it has sufficient power density.

After determining which focal length lens to use, the relative position of the focus to the surface of the workpiece is particularly important to ensure cutting quality. Due to the high power density at the focus, in most cases, the focus position at the time of cutting is just at the surface of the workpiece, or slightly below the surface. Ensuring a constant relative position of the focus to the workpiece throughout the cutting process is an important condition for obtaining a stable cutting quality. Sometimes, the lens is heated due to poor cooling and causes a change in focal length, which requires timely adjustment of the focus position.

When the focus is in the proper position, the slit is small, the efficiency is high, and the cutting speed can obtain a good cutting result. In most applications, the beam focus is adjuste just below the nozzle. The distance between the nozzle and the surface of the workpiece is generally about 1.5 mm.

In the laser application process, there are often problems such as focusing. And there are three convenient ways to determine the focus position:

(1) Printing method: The cutting head is move from top to bottom. And laser beam printing is performing on the plastic plate, and the smaller diameter is the focus.

(2) Inclined plate method: The plastic plate obliquely placed at an angle to. The vertical axis is horizontally pull to find the smaller portion of the laser beam as the focus.
(3) Blue spark method: remove the nozzle, blow the air. And pulse the laser on the stainless steel plate to move the cutting head.  From top to bottom until the blue spark is larger.

4 aspects to judge the quality of fiber laser cutting

Grasp the rules of the various technological factors in the processing of fiber laser cutting machine on the surface quality, we can find the process measures to improve the cutting quality, to improve the quality of the materials surface.

For laser cutting, evaluation of the quality of their processing are mainly the following 4 points:

Keep perpendicularity is good, heat-affected area is small

The perpendicularity of the cut edge is important when the thickness of the machined material exceeds 18 mm;

the laser beam diverges away from the focus, and the cut becomes wider toward the top or bottom depending on the focus position.

Cutting edge deviation from the vertical line a few millimeters, the more vertical edge, the higher the cutting quality.

Heat effects of cutting materials

As a hot cutting application equipment, it is have to exert a thermal influence on the material during its use, which mainly includes three aspects:

a. Heat affected zone; b. Depression and corrosion; c. Deformation of material
The heat-affected zone refers to during the laser cutting, along which the area near the incision is heate. At the same time, the structure of the material itself changes.
This is especially important in fine workmanship, where the contours and tabs are usually only a few tenths of a millimeter wide. Controlling fiber laser power and using short laser pulses can reduce the risk of heat build-up and avoid distortion.

Narrow kerf width;

The cutting width generally does not affect the quality of the cut.

The cutting width has an important influence only when a particularly precise profile is formed inside the part because the cutting width determines the minimum internal dimensions of the profile. As the thickness of the plate increases, the cutting width also varies with Increase.

So you want to ensure that the same high-precision, regardless of the width of the incision, the processing of the laser cutting machine processing area should be constant.

Cutting surface smooth, less lines, no brittle fracture

When the laser is cutting the sheet at high temperature, the traces of the molten material do not appear in the notch below the vertical laser beam, and instead, it is ejected at the rear of the laser beam.As a result, the curved lines are formed at the cutting edge and the lines closely follow the moving laser beam.

In order to correct this problem, the feed rate is reduced at the end of the cutting process and the formation of lines can be substantially eliminated.
