Laser Cutting Process Parameters

The primary process parameters in laser cutting include laser power, cutting speed, cutting thickness, and gas flow rate. Other factors—such as laser beam quality, lens focal length, defocus distance, and nozzle configuration—also significantly influence the laser cutting process.

Laser power is one of the most critical parameters of a laser cutting machine; the higher the power, the faster the cutting speed and the greater the achievable cutting thickness. Generally speaking, the term “laser power” refers specifically to the output power of the laser source itself.

Regarding material properties, if a material possesses high surface reflectivity, a significant portion of the laser energy will be reflected away upon striking the surface, rather than being absorbed by the material to facilitate cutting. Consequently, to ensure that sufficient energy remains available for the cutting process, it becomes necessary to increase the laser power. Similarly, if a material exhibits high thermal conductivity, the heat generated by the laser irradiation will dissipate rapidly throughout the material’s interior; this makes it difficult for the temperature within the cutting zone to rise to the level required for effective cutting. In such instances, increasing the laser power is essential to enhance cutting efficiency. Furthermore, cutting materials with high melting points also necessitates greater laser power and power density, as these materials require a larger amount of energy to reach their melting or vaporization points—thereby achieving the desired cutting result.

Under specific power conditions, as the material thickness increases, the laser beam must penetrate deeper layers of the material to complete the cutting process. Studies indicate that the relationship between cutting speed and the surface roughness of the cut edge is not a simple linear one; rather, it exhibits a U-shaped trend. This implies that for materials of varying thicknesses—and under different cutting gas pressure conditions—there exists an optimal cutting speed. When cutting is performed at this specific speed, the surface roughness of the cut edge reaches its minimum value, resulting in the smoothest possible finish. Generally speaking, the faster the cutting speed, the greater the power required.

Cutting speed refers to the linear distance a laser cutting machine can traverse per minute; the higher the speed, the greater the operational efficiency. The cutting speed of a laser cutting machine is contingent upon factors such as the material type, thickness, and hardness, while also being influenced by parameters such as laser power and beam spot diameter.

Cutting thickness refers to the maximum thickness of material that a laser cutting machine is capable of cutting. Factors influencing cutting thickness include:
Equipment Power: Generally, the higher the power output of the equipment, the greater the thickness of the material it can cut.
Material Type: Different materials possess varying degrees of hardness, density, and toughness, all of which impact the cutting thickness.
Cutting Technology: Different cutting technologies (such as laser, waterjet, and plasma) each have their own specific maximum cutting thickness capabilities.
Cutting Process Parameters: Parameters such as cutting speed and gas pressure also play a role in determining the cutting thickness.

During the melt-cutting process, the laser beam heats the material to its melting point; at this stage, the blown gas serves to expel the molten metal, thereby forming the cut kerf. The gas pressure must be sufficiently high to effectively clear away the molten metal, thereby ensuring the continuity of the cutting process and the clarity of the cut. Gas flow rate is also correlated with the nozzle geometry; different nozzle designs exert varying influences on gas distribution and flow characteristics, and consequently, the appropriate gas flow rates will differ. When selecting a nozzle and setting the gas flow rate, it is essential to match and optimize these parameters based on specific cutting requirements and material properties.

The beam mode output by the laser is critical to the cutting result. Experimental studies have demonstrated that, during oxygen-assisted cutting, the kerf width is nearly equal to the diameter of the laser spot. The spot size is directly proportional to the focal length of the focusing lens; that is, the longer the focal length, the larger the spot, and the shorter the focal length, the smaller the spot. However, while a short-focal-length lens allows for the attainment of a smaller spot size, its depth of focus is correspondingly reduced. A shallower depth of focus implies stricter requirements regarding the distance between the workpiece surface and the lens. The defocus amount significantly impacts both cutting speed and cutting depth; therefore, it must be maintained at a constant value throughout the cutting process. Typically, a negative defocus value is selected—meaning the focal point is positioned at a specific point beneath the surface of the material being cut.

The nozzle is a critical component that influences both the quality and efficiency of laser cutting. Laser cutting typically employs coaxial nozzles (where the gas flow is concentric with the optical axis); the diameter of the nozzle outlet should be selected based on the thickness of the material being cut. Furthermore, the distance between the nozzle and the workpiece surface has a significant impact on cutting quality; to ensure a stable cutting process, this distance must be maintained at a constant value.

When Saying Limitless Customizability

Laser Processing Equipment Procurement Guide

Say goodbye to theoretical discussions and learn practical steps to guide you through the entire laser equipment procurement process, from initial selection and on-site testing to later operation, ensuring that every decision is based on sound reasoning.

3 Steps Before Select

Three steps to ensure a successful laser equipment selection process: ① Determine the appropriate power based on the thickness of the sheet material being processed, avoiding the false requirement of “one-step solution”; ② Calculate the total lifecycle cost, confirming the unit price of vulnerable parts and maintenance costs, avoiding the high maintenance trap of low-priced OEM equipment; ③ Check the equipment’s compatibility and upgrade potential, ensuring support for CAD/CAM formats, integration with MES systems, and suitability for the company’s future production needs.

Strict On-site Testing

Dowell Laser have a dual system to control equipment quality: ① Check the power report and the brand and model of core components, and scan the code to verify that they are brand new original products; ② Process thick/complex plates continuously for 30 minutes to check the cross-section and weld quality, and run them idle for 10 minutes to check the operational stability; ③ Take the measured samples back to the workshop for trial processing to confirm compatibility with subsequent processes. Only when all indicators meet the standards will we finalize the cooperation.

Standardized Operations

The key points to implement are: ① Perform standardized maintenance on a daily/weekly/monthly/yearly basis, focusing on checking protective lenses, chillers, and optical path coaxiality, and regularly testing laser power; ② Master the four major high-frequency fault self-troubleshooting methods, and quickly resolve issues such as power attenuation, backlight alarms, and equipment not emitting light on-site, significantly reducing downtime; ③ Keep good daily operation records, promptly identify potential equipment problems, and ensure continuous and efficient production line operation.

Scientific selection enables cost reduction at both the procurement and production stages.

Scientific selection is key to cost reduction; avoid blind decision-making: precisely match laser power to processing requirements to avoid wasting procurement funds due to over-performance; prioritize equipment with core components from leading brands, although the initial cost may be slightly higher, the failure rate is lower and consumables are more universal, significantly reducing maintenance and downtime costs. Through full life-cycle cost accounting, avoid the hidden cost traps of low-priced equipment, ensuring that every penny of procurement funds is transformed into production benefits.

Avoid pitfalls to ensure stable, efficient equipment production operations.

Equipment stability is the core of production efficiency, and accurately avoiding pitfalls is key: Avoid the traps of “peak power” and “under-configured core components” to ensure equipment can operate stably at full load for extended periods, minimizing downtime losses; conduct on-site testing to ensure equipment matches processing requirements, avoiding increased costs due to product rework and higher scrap rates. Selecting high-quality, stable laser equipment can double production line efficiency, helping companies seize market opportunities.
