laser cutting polystyrene foam

Laser cutting machines are divided into two types: metal material cutting and non-metal material processing:

A: The metal laser cutting machine is mainly used for cutting, perforating and engraving plates, including stainless steel, iron, aluminum, copper and some alloy plates and other metal plates. Among them, stainless steel plate is the easiest to cut, but it must also be thinner stainless steel. Laser cutting cannot cut too thick stainless steel materials. The maximum thickness can be cut to about 4mm, and the slit can be as narrow as about 0.1mm. Damage, the incision is flat, and the verticality is good. For carbon steel materials, it can be cut thicker, about 20mm. The thermal effect of laser on carbon steel is small, so the cutting effect is very good. For high carbon steel, laser cutting edge quality is better than low carbon steel, but The heat affected zone is relatively large. For some alloy materials, most of them can be cut, and only a small part will have the phenomenon of corrosion and slag sticking. Copper is more difficult to cut with a laser, even if it is cut, it is very thin.

B: Non-metal laser cutting machine, mainly used for fabric, leather, acrylic, wood, paper, rubber, silica gel, EVA, foam, sponge, glass and other materials. Compared with metal laser cutting machine, non-metal laser The cutting materials are more extensive and multifunctional. It can cut or engrave large or small products without being limited by the size of the material. The pattern can also be changed and designed at will. It is very user-friendly, and its price is relatively low.

Nowadays, there are many laser cutting equipment, including CO2 laser cutting machine, fiber laser cutting machine, precision laser cutting machine and other different laser cutting machines. Not only the lasers used are different, but also the applications are also very different. Different materials have different characteristics, and the absorption of laser light is different. Some materials may absorb laser light in this band, but do not absorb laser light in other bands. This makes us choose laser equipment. Specific material characteristics to choose. For items with different thicknesses, different sizes, and different shapes, in order to obtain a better processing effect during the processing, different laser equipment will also be used.
