Comparison of Different type Cutting machine

As you know, now on the market, primarily Fiber laser, Water jet, Plasma for metal cutting, here attached comparison of different form Cutting machine FYI (CNC router mainly for non-metal working, so please skip it).

Fibre laser cutting machine:

Benefits:

First, high precision, rapid speed, narrow cutting seam, limited heat affected area, smooth cutting surface without burrs. Second, the laser cutting head does not strike the surface of the object and does not scratch the workpiece. And then the processing versatility is fine, and any graphics, such as DXF,PLT, can be processed.

Inadvantages:

As we described earlier, buying costs are reasonably high.

Water jet cutter machine:

Benefits:

Second, the water jet is used for cold cutting, does not produce thermal effects, deformation, slagging, ablation, and does not modify the physical and chemical properties of the material.

Second, wide cutting radius, high flexibility, almost all products can be sliced. Suitable for dense cutting of material.

Inadvantages:

Second, the cutting of carbon steel plate is easy to rust, which influences the appearance of the metal.

Second, heavy operating costs;

Third, severe contamination of the environment;

Then the operating costs are high, involving a lot of water and sand;

Cutting unit for plasma:

Benefits:

Next, it is ideal for dense cutting of plates.

Second, buying prices are smaller.

Inadvantages:

Second, cutting thickness is roughness;

Second, during cutting, it will produce huge heat, material is easy to deform;

And cutting the slit is wide, around 3mm.

Then the plasma energy intake is very powerful

In comparison, repair costs for replacement parts are high

Often, during cutting, the gas is toxic, and the plasma arc is dangerous to the eyes, and the sparks are going in both directions, quick to damage the skin.
