Anything and everything from plastic to metal has to be cut in the most precise manner to serve the purpose that they are meant for. And doing this manually is not only tedious, but can also become challenging at times. This is where Laser Fabric Cutting Machine using laser cutting technology comes to rescue. These hi-tech machines are used in various industrial applications and are replacing the traditional machining processes like plasma and oxy-fuel cutting.

So, what does an industrial laser cutting machine do? It uses a laser beam to cut metal sheets or piping metal or other such materials by using techniques like burning, melting or blowing.

Types Of Laser Cutting Machines:

  • Moving Material Machine

    Here, the laser beam remains still while the material is moved in a specific direction. The distance between the nozzle & the surface remains constant throughout the cutting operation.

  • Flying Optics Machine

    In this case, the laser beam is mobile, while the material remains still and fixed. The laser beam moves along two dimensions of the material and this leads to speedy completion of work.

  • Hybrid Configuration Machine

    It combines the features of both moving material machine and flying optics machine. Here, laser beam moves along the y-axis of material and a table moves along the x-axis of the material to be cut.

Different Methods of Laser Cutting:

  • Fusion Cutting (High Pressure Cutting)

    In this case, the laser beam is focused at a point on the surface along which the cutting needs to be done. The material at this focal point melts & a cutting gas is used to remove this molten material from the kerf. Materials like stainless steel, aluminum and their alloys are cut using this technique

  • Oxidation Cutting (Laser Torch Cutting)

    Here, the material to be cut is heated by laser beam until combustion temperature is reached. Cutting gas at a medium pressure is used for oxidation of material and to remove the slag from kerf. This technique is employed when cutting needs to be done in the shortest time possible & is generally utilized for cutting carbon steels.
