    • 1 How to inspect the quality of a laser cutting machine ?

        1.Roughness
        Laser cutting cross section will form a vertical lines, the depth of the texture of the cut surface of the roughness of the cut surface,
        the more shallow lines, the more smooth cut section. Roughness not only affects the appearance of the edges, but also affect the
        friction characteristics, in most cases, it is necessary to minimize the roughness, so the more shallow texture, the higher the quality
        of the cut.


        2. Verticality
        If the sheet thickness exceeds 10mm, the verticality of cutting edge is very important. Away from the focus, the laser beam
        becomes divergent, according to the location of the focus, cutting to the top or bottom of the variable width. Cutting edge off the
        vertical line of a few millimeters, the edge of the more vertical, the higher the quality of cutting.


        3. Cutting width
        Kerf width generally does not affect the cutting qualit, only in the internal components formed special precision contour, cutting
        width is important. This is because the cutting width determines the contour of the minimum, when the plate thickness increases,
        the cutting width also increases. So want to guarantee the same high precision, no matter how much the width of the cut, the
        workpiece in the laser cutting machine processing area should be constant.


        4. Lines
        High speed cutting thick plate, the molten metal will not appear in the vertical laser beam below the incision, but will be sprayed out
        at the laser beam side. As a result, the curved lines are formed on the cutting edge, and the lines are closely followed by the laser
        beam. In order to correct the problem, the feed rate can be reduced at the end of the cutting process.

        5. Burr
        Burr formation is a very important factor to determine the quality of laser cutting, because the removal of burr need extra work, so
        the amount of burr is serious and how much is able to directly determine the quality of cutting.

        6. Material Deposition
        Laser atinr mactine oeore he ognin ot mlino and peraonoro he wrpece sutce wh。ayer olonon he stacora
        special iqud Gsiaion and al kndns omlaease,s the mateial does not neto use the wind o blow he cut, but the upwardor
        downward discharge also can form the depsition on the surface.

        7. Sag and Corrosion
        Sag and corrosion have adverse effects on the surface of the cutting edge, affecting the appearance. They appear in the error of the
        cut which is generally supposed to be avoided.

        8. Heat Affected Zone
        In the laser cutting,the area in the near the notch is heated, At same time, the structure of the metal changes ,For example ,some of the

        metal can be hardened , the heat affected zone refer to the depth of the area that is changed by the internal structure.


        9.Deformation

        If the cutting makes the component heat , it will deform . This is particularly important in fine processing ,

        because the profile and connection pieces are usually only a few millmeters wide . Control of laser power 

        and use of short laser pulses can reduce the parts become hot to avoid deormation.

        Features
        High Accuracy
        CNC machines are highly integrated mechatronic products, which are composed of precision machinery and automatic control
        systems. They have high positioning accuracy and repeat positioning accuracy. The transmission system and the structure have
        high rigidity and stability to reduce errors. Therefore, CNC machine has higher machining accuracy, especially the consistency of
        parts manufacturing in the same batch, and the product quality is stable, the pass rate is high, which is incomparable with ordinary
        machine tools.
        High Efficiency
        CNC machines can use a larger amount of cutting, which effectively saves processing time. CNC machines also have automatic
        speed change, automatic tool change and other automatic operation functions, which greatly shorten the auxiliary time, and once a
        stable processing process is formed, there is no need to perform inter-process inspection and measurement. Therefore, the
        productivity of CNC machining is 3-4 times higher than that of ordinary machine tools, or even more.
        High Adaptability
        CNC machine performs automatic processing according to the CNC program of the processed parts. When the machining object
        changes, as long as the CNC program is changed, there is no need to use special process equipment such as masters and
        templates. This is helpful to shorten the production preparation cycle and promote product replacement.
        High Machinability
        Some mechanical parts formed by complex curves and curved surfaces are dificult to process or even impossible to complete with
        conventional techniques and manual operations, and can be easily realized by CNC machines using multi-coordinate axes linkage.
        High Economic Value
        CNC machining centers mostly use process concentration, and one machine is multi-purpose. In the case of one clamping, most
        parts of the parts can be processed. CNC machining center can replace several ordinary machine tools. This can not only reduce
        clamping errors, save auxiliary time between transportation, measurement, and clamping between processes, but also reduce the
        types of machine tools, save machine tool area, and bring higher economic benefits.
