Difference between metal laser cutting machine and laser drilling machine

Machining effect of metal laser cutting machine

In fact, many customers know that the metal laser cutting machine is different from its laser drilling machine. The metal laser cutting machine can also be used for drilling. The main advantages of the laser cutting machine are that the heat affected area is small, not easy to deform, the cutting seam is flat and beautiful, and there is no need for subsequent processing. It seems that it is not different from the laser drilling machine. So what's the difference between metal laser cutting machine and laser drilling machine? Let's analyze them today.

Difference between metal laser cutting machine and laser drilling machine

Metal laser cutting machine is mainly used to cut the plate into the required shape of the workpiece laser processing machine, but also the use of laser beam heat energy to achieve cutting equipment. Applicable materials: stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, spring steel, copper plate, aluminum plate, gold, silver, titanium and other metal plates and pipes. Compared with laser drilling machine, it is more widely used and its cutting ability can be enhanced.

What is a laser punch?

At present, there are many kinds of lasers, mainly including purple light and red light. Laser drilling technology has been used in industry for a long time. It is a relatively mature laser processing technology. After many improvements, laser drilling is suitable for most materials. At present, it can also be used in micro deep hole processing, picosecond processing, etc.

Characteristics of laser drilling machine

Laser drilling machine is used for small holes, narrow seams and micro machining, and laser is more suitable for dense porous machining. Laser drilling is not limited to the plane, but also can be processed on the inclined unequal workpiece. If the laser is used to assist other workpieces, it can complete all kinds of difficult machining. For example, the combination of laser and precision CNC machine can make the laser form a track according to the programmed program, and it can complete some specific workpiece machining. Laser drilling uses a beam of light, the output power is very stable, in the process of processing, it is almost impossible to cause workpiece loss.
