The difference between laser cutting machine cutting metal and non-metal

In the production field, we often encounter situations where we need to cut different materials. The most common ones are metal and non-metal. So what is the difference between cutting these two different materials?

Non-metal materials are generally cut with laser cutting machines, mainly CO2 laser cutting machines, with a wavelength of about 10600, which is suitable for cutting non-metal materials.

It is best to use optical fiber or YAG equipment to cut metal materials, because their wavelengths are between 1060 and 1070, and metal materials have energy absorption problems with this wavelength. If CO2 equipment can be used for cutting, it depends entirely on energy heat melting.

Since low-power laser cutting machines can generally only cut non-metals, if you want to cut metals you have to buy high-power ones. The specific wattage of a laser cutting machine depends on your purpose. Generally, industrial-grade laser cutting machines are 2500 watts, 3000 watts, 4000 watts, and 6000 watts. There are two types of lasers: domestic and imported. It depends on your personal situation.

Founded in 2011, Guangzhou Laise Laser Equipment Co., Ltd. is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the research and development, production and sales of laser recognition and laser die-cutting equipment. At the same time, it has established a stable cooperative relationship with many professional laser research institutions in China, so that its products are always in a leading position in the market.
