Laser cutting machine refers to a type or automatic laser system with CNC controller that employs CO2 laser beam to cut metals like steel, copper and brass, as well as aluminum, gold, silver alloy, iron, and rubber.
GSS Machinery offers 2022 top-rated laser cutting systems, including 3 axis, 4th (rotary axis), 5 axis and 4 axis. We also offer custom laser cutting support and service to meet your 2D/3D laser cutting plans, ideas, or projects.
Review the 2022 affordable laser cutter buyer's guide to CNC machinists, experts, professionals, craftsman, operators, beginners, newbies, and novices with low cost and high quality.
High energy density spots are formed by focusing the laser beam's energies. The medium and extended focusing lens are suitable for thick plates cutting. It also has very low spacing stability requirements. The shorter focusing lens is best suited for thin sheets cutting. This requires high spacing stability of the tracking systems and greatly reduces output power requirements.
Laser cutting can be used in both small- and large-scale manufacturing.
GSS Machinery patented Waveguide laser tubes produce the best beam quality in the industry. With higher CO2 gas pressure, faster switching rates and an optimized beam, GSS Machinery laser tubes provide the highest-quality engraving and cutting results available.
A beginner or professional should operate the laser cutting machine under the guidance of the instructions and the safety tips in the user manual to avoid accidents. You must follow the listed safety rules; The operator must consult all the manuals provided with the machine, be familiar with the structure and performance of the equipment, and master the relevant knowledge of the operating system. Wear labor protection equipment as required, and wear protective glasses that meet the regulations near the laser beam. Do not process the material until it is determined whether the material can be irradiated or heated by the laser to avoid the potential danger of fumes and vapors. When the machine is started, the operator shall not leave the post or be managed by the trustee without authorization. Keep the fire extinguisher within easy reach. Turn off the laser or shutter when not working. Do not place paper, cloth or other flammable materials near an unprotected laser beam. If an abnormality is found during the processing, the machine should be stopped immediately, and the fault should be eliminated or reported to the supervisor in time. Keep the laser, bed and surrounding sites clean, orderly and free of oil. Workpieces, plates and scraps are stacked according to regulations. When using gas cylinders, avoid squeezing wires, water pipes and air pipes to avoid leakage of electricity, water and air. The use and transportation of gas cylinders shall comply with gas cylinder regulations. Do not expose gas cylinders to direct sunlight or near heat sources. When opening the bottle valve, the operator must stand on the side of the bottle mouth. Before turning on the power of the chiller, check the water level of the chiller.

We have the right laser cutting machine for your needs, whether you are looking to cut hardwood, plywood or mdf.
Laser cutting is one of the thermal cutting methods, which can do vaporization cutting, fusion cutting, oxygen cutting, dicing and controlled fracture. It has replaced the traditional mechanical cutters with invisible laser beams. It has advantages of high speed, high precision, high quality, low machining cost, automatic typesetting, smooth cut edges for any shapes and designs. It is an upgrade to traditional cutting tools. In addition to the advantages, it also has its own shortcomings and limitations.
Laser cutting systems can also be used in commercial manufacturing and school education.
After buying the parts, accessories and researching the market, the next step is to assemble it and debug the hardware and software. The parameters you choose, such as the cutting material, laser generator and gas, affect the machine's efficiency and cutting quality. It is important to adjust the parameters to meet your cutting needs. A poor setting of parameters or improper operation could result in a reduced cutting effect, damage and/or personal injury.
The laser's interlocked, metal enclosure is class 2 safe, so it can be used in any type of workshop, home or office.
The Fusion Pro Series offers a fiber laser that can be added to your CO2 laser machine to allow you to engrave or mark metals. Dual source laser machines will allow you to expand your capabilities and increase your company's product and profit offerings.
Laser cutting is classified into three types: fusion cutting, flame cutting, and remote cutting. An inert gas (typically nitrogen) is used in fusion cutting to expel molten material from the kerf. Nitrogen gas does not exothermically react with molten material and thus contributes no energy to the system.
Laser Cutting Process Drawbacks
When compared to other techniques, laser cutting requires a high power consumption.
The laser beam is extremely delicate to handle.
If the laser beam comes into contact with human workers, it is hazardous.
Laser cutting is still unable to cut thick metals.
Cutting thick materials is difficult.
The less effective laser cutting becomes as the material thickness increases. For example, when it comes to cutting thick sheets of carbon steel, laser cutting may be difficult.
