Accurl Laser Cutting Machine

In today’s manufacturing industry, fiber laser cutting machines have become an essential tool for metal processing. Among them, the 2kW fiber laser cutting machine stands out for its balance of power, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. But how exactly does it work, and why do so many workshops rely on it?   1. Principle of Laser Generation   Light Source: A fiber optic cable doped with ytterbium or other rare earth elements is used as the gain medium. A semiconductor pump source (such as a diode laser) excites the rare earth ions within the fiber, causing high-energy level transitions and releasing light of a specific wavelength (typically near-infrared light at 1070–1080 nm). Fiber Amplifier:   The laser is repeatedly reflected and amplified within the flexible fiber, forming a high-power density, high-beam-quality continuous or pulsed laser beam.   2. Laser Transmission and Focusing   Fiber Transmission:   The laser is transmitted through the flexible fiber to the cutting head, eliminating the need for complex mirror systems (unlike CO₂ lasers), resulting in minimal energy loss (<5%) and suitability for long-distance transmission. Focusing System:   Collimating lenses and focusing lenses (typically aspherical lenses) within the cutting head focus the laser beam into an extremely small spot (diameter approximately 0.01–0.1 mm), achieving power densities of 10⁶–10⁸ W/cm².   3. Material Cutting Mechanism Main physical processes in metal cutting: Absorption and Heating: Metal surfaces have high absorption rates for fiber laser wavelengths (especially for highly reflective materials like copper and aluminum; anti-reflective coatings can further enhance efficiency). Light energy is absorbed by electrons and converted into thermal energy, causing the local temperature of the material to instantly rise to its melting point or boiling point (e.g., approximately 1500°C for steel). Melting and vaporization:   Melting cutting (suitable for carbon steel, stainless steel): Laser energy melts the material, and auxiliary gases (such as nitrogen, oxygen) blow away the molten metal.   Sublimation cutting (suitable for thin sheets or high-precision requirements): The laser directly vaporizes the material without requiring auxiliary gases (such as extremely thin metals or non-metals). Role of auxiliary gases:   Oxygen (O₂): Reacts exothermically with molten metal (oxidation), accelerating cutting and improving the quality of carbon steel cut surfaces, but may produce an oxide layer.   Nitrogen (N₂): Inert protection, preventing oxidation, suitable for materials requiring clean cuts such as stainless steel and aluminum.   Formation of the cut seam:   The laser beam moves relative to the material (controlled by a CNC system) to form a continuous cut seam. Dynamic adjustment of the focal position (e.g., automatic focusing cutting head) to accommodate different material thicknesses.   4. CNC System and Motion Control CNC Control: Pre-set cutting paths (e.g., DXF files) are converted by a computer into mechanical motion commands, driving servo motors to control the movement of the cutting head or worktable (X/Y/Z axes). Dynamic Precision:   High-precision guideways and linear motors ensure positioning accuracy (±0.05mm) at cutting speeds of up to 50m/min.     5. Advantages and Limitations of 2kW Power   Advantages:   Can cut thicker materials (e.g., carbon steel ≤20mm, stainless steel ≤12mm, aluminum ≤10mm).   Faster speed (30%–50% faster than a 1kW laser machine). Lower energy consumption (electro-optical conversion efficiency of 30%–50%, significantly higher than CO₂ lasers at 10%).   Limitations:   Special processing is required for highly reflective materials (e.g., copper, gold) (e.g., adjusting pulse frequency).   Extremely thick materials (e.g., carbon steel >25mm) may require multiple cuts or alternative methods such as plasma/flame cutting.   6. Key components and technologies   Fiber laser: 2kW single-mode or multi-mode fiber lasers from brands such as IPG and SPI.   Cutting head: Brands such as Precitec and Raytools, including protective lenses, gas nozzles, and capacitive height adjustment systems.   Cooling system: Water-cooled units maintain stable laser temperature (±1°C).   Dust removal system: Ventilation or filtration devices handle cutting fumes.   7. Typical Application Scenarios   Industries: Sheet metal processing, automotive parts, aerospace, electronic enclosures, etc.   Materials: Carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, brass, titanium alloy, etc.   Processing types: Flat cutting, drilling, and irregular contour cutting. Translated with DeepL.com (free version) Summary： The 2kW fiber laser cutting machine uses high-energy fiber laser beams, precision optical systems, and CNC technology to achieve efficient, high-precision cutting of metal materials. Its core advantages lie in its high power density, low energy consumption, and low maintenance costs, making it particularly suitable for processing medium-thickness metal plates. In practical applications, the power, focal position, and auxiliary gas type must be adjusted according to the material characteristics to optimize cutting quality.   If you have more ideas, please contact us!

Green Manufacturing and Sustainable Development Energy consumption optimization By adopting variable frequency drive and energy recovery system, the unit energy consumption of the fiber laser pipe cutting machine is reduced (currently about 3-5kW·h/ hour). Environmentally friendly process substitution Reduce the generation of oil stains and dust in traditional cutting, for instance, by replacing wet dust removal with dry cutting. Improvement in material utilization rate By using AI layout software, the utilization rate of pipes has been increased from 70% to over 90%, reducing waste. Prospects for Future Application scenarios New energy vehicles: Efficient cutting of battery pack structure tubes and hydrogen energy storage tanks. Building industrialization: Rapid processing of complex steel structure pipes in prefabricated buildings. Precision cutting of titanium alloy pressure-resistant tubes for space and deep-sea equipment. Summary： The future breakthroughs of fiber laser pipe cutting machines will revolve around "smarter, more precise and greener", while domestic substitution and technological integration (such as AI+ laser) will become key driving forces. Enterprises need to pay attention to the customized demands in high value-added fields (such as healthcare and aerospace) to seize market opportunities. If you have more ideas, please contact us!

In laser cutting, the choice of nitrogen (N₂) and oxygen (O₂) mainly depends on the type of material to be cut, cutting quality requirements, and cost effectiveness. The following is a comparative analysis of the two and suggestions for applicable scenarios:   The applicability of nitrogen (N₂) Advantages: 1. No oxidation cutting - Applicable materials: stainless steel, aluminum, titanium alloy, brass and other non-ferrous metals or high reflective materials. - Effect: Nitrogen as an inert gas can prevent the oxidation reaction between the material and oxygen during the cutting process, and the edge of the incision is smooth and no oxide layer, reducing the need for subsequent grinding or painting.   2. High surface quality - Clean cutting surface, suitable for precision machining with strict surface requirements (such as medical equipment, electronic product parts).   3. Avoid slag residue - High purity nitrogen (more than 99.9%) can effectively blow molten metal under high pressure, reducing slag adhesion.   Cons: 1. High cost - Large nitrogen consumption (high pressure, high flow), and high purity nitrogen is expensive, especially for thick plate cutting costs significantly increased. 2. The cutting speed is slow - No exothermic reaction, completely dependent on laser energy to melt the material, cutting speed is lower than oxygen assisted cutting.   Second, the applicability of oxygen (O2) Advantages: 1. Exothermic reaction accelerates cutting - Applicable material: carbon steel (such as low carbon steel, medium carbon steel) - Principle: Oxygen reacts with high temperature metal oxidation (Fe + O₂ → FeO + heat), releasing additional heat energy and significantly increasing cutting speed (30% to 50% faster than nitrogen).   2. Good economy - Low oxygen cost, and due to reaction heat release can reduce laser power requirements, suitable for high-volume carbon steel processing.   3. Advantages of thick plate cutting - For thick carbon steel plates (such as more than 20mm), oxygen assistance can effectively penetrate and maintain cutting efficiency.   Cons: 1. Oxidation problem - The edge of the cut will form an oxide layer (black or yellow), requiring subsequent treatment (such as grinding, painting), affecting the surface quality. 2. Not applicable to non-ferrous metals - Aluminum, stainless steel and other materials cut in oxygen tend to produce high melting point oxides (such as Al₂O₃), resulting in poor cutting quality or even failure. Iii. Other precautions 1. Gas purity requirements - Nitrogen: ≥99.9% (recommended for stainless steel cutting more than 99.99%). - Oxygen: purity ≥99.5% to avoid impurities affecting reaction efficiency. 2. Gas pressure and flow Nitrogen usually requires a higher pressure (e.g., 20 to 30Bar) to blow away the melt. - Low oxygen pressure (e.g. 10 to 15Bar), but subject to material thickness adjustment. 3. Alternatives - Air cutting: the lowest cost, but only suitable for thin carbon steel or the quality of the scene is not high, the incision oxidation is obvious. - Mixed gas: Some scenarios use nitrogen-oxygen mixture (such as cutting galvanized sheet), balancing speed and oxidation problems. In SUMMARY: - Nitrogen: If the cutting material is non-ferrous metal such as stainless steel or aluminum, or the incision finish is required (such as appearance parts and precision parts). Choose oxygen: if cutting carbon steel and pursuing efficiency and cost advantages, especially suitable for thick plate processing. - Trade-off between economy and quality: nitrogen is preferred for high value-added products, oxygen is preferred for high-volume carbon steel processing. Flexible gas selection according to specific needs can significantly improve laser cutting efficiency and control costs.   If you have more ideas, please contact us!
