We are all aware of how precise laser cutting machines can be, but sometimes a small mistake can have an impact on our cutting effect and even result in losses. As a result, we must identify the causes as quickly as possible and make the adjustments that are needed. Then, the cutting machine’s error might be caused by several factors:
1. Heat is generated during the cutting process and the processed object’s surface of the fiber laser cutting machine is undulating for a variety of reasons. In this way, the thin plate part’s surface is easily deformed and as a result, both the laser focus and the processed object are generated. The surface’s position changes from its ideal position at random. the cut sheet’s roughness. In general, higher cutting quality is associated with a smoother cut material surface.
2. The thickness of the cutting material is higher than required. A metal laser cutting machine can typically cut sheets of fewer than 12 thicknesses. The quality is higher and the sheet is easier to cut when it is thinner. The laser cutting machine will have difficulty cutting a plate that is too thick. The thickness of the plate must be ascertained since errors in processing accuracy will occur under the conditions of ensuring the cutting.
3. A needle-shaped worktable is used to hold the workpiece to be processed. The needle bed will seem uneven due to machining flaws and long-term wear between the workpiece, and this unevenness will also result in random errors in the position between the laser focus and the thin steel plate.
4. The processing trajectory on the intricately curved surface is fitted by straight lines, arcs, etc. during the fiber laser cutting machine processing process. The relative position and ideal of the real focus and the processed object’s surface are affected by errors between these fitting curves and actual curves. In the programmed position, an error happens. Deviations will also be introduced by some teaching programming systems.
5. The laser’s output power is insufficient. It is essential to make sure the laser output power meets the required level while the laser cutting machine is running and debugging. In general, the cutting quality on a plate of the same thickness improves with increasing laser output power. There is an error in the focus position. The laser cutting machine must be calibrated and tested before operating because an out-of-alignment focus will directly impact the cutting accuracy. To guarantee cutting accuracy, you can also purchase a Jinan Kingway auto-focusing laser head.
6. The accuracy of the processing is directly impacted by the laser cutting machine’s cutting speed. As a result, before operating, the cutting speed and material must be as compatible as possible. We have to be careful when using a laser cutting machine. For these random errors, it is typically difficult to prevent geometric errors of the workpiece, errors caused by the workpiece clamping device, and errors caused by programming. We’re going to do everything. The cutting machine’s precision can be increased by reducing the error.
Every laser cutting machine that leaves the factory will undergo system professional pre-delivery commissioning by PUSAAN AUTOMATION, in addition to the regular sharing of equipment operation guides. After the equipment is delivered, users will receive professional training to help operators master equipment operation and maintenance skills to ensure stable processing.
