What are the functions of fiber laser cutting machine1
In recent years, with the rapid development of fiber laser cutting machines and semiconductor lasers, various advanced laser processing equipment and processing technologies have emerged one after another, driving the rapid growth of the laser industry.
The trend of fiber laser cutting machine automation, currently, the European market has been relatively mature, and the performance of machines is no longer compared with easily quantifiable indicators such as speed and accuracy. Pay more attention to higher technical aspects such as automation and functionality. Not only the focus position, the composition and pressure of the auxiliary gas and other parameters can be set through the program. Even the diameter of the nozzle and the focal length of the lens can be set by the switching of the mechanical device. At the same time, it also has auxiliary functions such as automatic nozzle alignment, perforation detection, and lens damage monitoring. Many large equipment companies are developing automation solutions that can realize unattended and even remote control of the entire processing process. It is true that its practicality and reliability still need to be tested by the market. But there is no doubt that this is the goal of the future development of fiber laser cutting machines.
In order to use a single cutting head to cut sheets of various materials and thicknesses, it is necessary to change the focal length of the lens to adjust the focal depth and focus size. In recent years. With the pursuit of a high degree of automation, the concept of 'single cutting head' has gradually formed. With the advent of technologies such as variable curvature mirrors and servo-axis controlled lenses, it is possible to change the focal length and focus size without changing the focusing lens. Although it is not yet possible to completely replace the lens to achieve perfect cutting of various material thicknesses, its practicality is no longer in doubt. Fast response is its greater advantage. It can quickly switch process parameters at different stages of the processing of a workpiece. And all optical components are reliably sealed without frequent replacement. Avoid being polluted by dust and oil mist, the life of the optical components will be longer, and the failure rate of the whole machine will be lower.
The superior software performance of fiber laser cutting machine not only requires innovation in hardware, but also control technology and software are also the core part of technical strength. There are more and more laser cutting machines operated by touch screen with visual graphical interface. With the built-in complete process database, users no longer need to touch the complex underlying process parameters, and only need to specify the material and thickness to complete the call of the corresponding process parameters. The intuitive and concise interface allows the editing and modification of the program in a visual form instead of the abstract code in the past. Operating a large industrial equipment such as a laser cutting machine is like operating a tablet computer, which reduces the labor intensity of the operator and also reduces the training time and cost after the equipment is purchased.
