How to control the cutting quality of fiber laser cutting machine cnc machine
Effect of No.1 focus position adjustment on cutting quality
Since the fiber laser power density has a large influence on the cutting speed, proper selection of the focus lens is an important issue.
After the laser beam is focused, the spot size is proportional to the focal length of the lens. After the beam is focused by the short focal length lens, the spot size is small and the power density at the focus is high, which is beneficial to material cutting.
However, its disadvantage is that the depth of focus is short and the adjustment margin is small, which is generally suitable for high-speed cutting of thin materials. Due to the long focal length lens, the focal length is wide and the power density is sufficient for cutting thicker metal materials. Ensuring that the relative cutting focus position is constant to the workpiece is an important condition for achieving stable cutting quality.
Sometimes, the lens is heated and causes a change in focal length due to poor cooling, which requires timely adjustment of the focus position.
When the focus is in a better position, the cutting gap is smaller, and a better cutting speed can achieve a better cutting effect, which can greatly improve production efficiency.
In most applications, the beam focus is adjusted below the nozzle. The distance from the nozzle to the surface of the workpiece is typically about 1.5 mm.
Effect of No.2 speed on cutting quality
On the basis of a good cutting focal length setting, the cutting speed is consistent with the formula, and the cutting speed of the material is proportional to the laser power density. That is, the cutting speed is increased as the power is increased.
Especially for cutting metal materials, the laser cutting speed has a relative adjustment range while other cutting parameters are unchanged. It is still possible to maintain good cutting quality by increasing power and speed.
Effect of No.3 fiber laser output power on cutting quality
For continuous wave output fiber lasers, the setting of laser power output and mode selection has a significant impact on the quality of the cut.
In practice, more power is typically provided to achieve higher cutting speeds or to cut thicker materials. However, please note that high power output also affects the life of the laser source.
