Why use laser cutting nozzle?

What is an injection nozzle?

The nozzle is the joint of the frame and the parts formed when the factory pours the model. It is also called "soup mouth" (gate method), which means the inlet and outlet of the heated liquid plastic, that is, the extra corners on the surface of the plastic product. Nowadays, plastic products are widely used. When producing plastic products, there will be extra scraps such as the intersection of the mold and the injection port, so before making the product, the production workers need to cut it off.

Why use laser to cut nozzles?

The nozzle is the joint between the frame and the component formed when the factory pours the model. Also known as the "soup head" (gate method), it is also the excess scraps in plastic products. Now, almost every industry uses plastic products, and the scraps brought by the mold will be left during production. Before processing the finished product, the nozzle on the edge of the part needs to be cut beautifully and neatly.

Using laser cutting machine to cut scraps greatly improves the processing accuracy and processing performance of the product. Make the product perfect. The cutting principle is that the horizontal laser emitted by the laser is transformed into a vertical downward laser beam through a 45掳 total reflection mirror, and then focused by a lens to form a very small light spot at the focus. When the light shines on the nozzle, the nozzle is quickly heated to the vaporization temperature and evaporated into a hole. According to the shape requirements of the processed nozzle, as the light beam moves toward the nozzle, the hole continuously forms a very narrow slit, thus completing the cutting of the nozzle.

Due to the different plastic products, the shape, size and specifications of the nozzles are different, which puts high demands on cutting. Traditional electric shears have low precision and low efficiency. Laser cutting can avoid these problems. Laser cutting uses an invisible light beam to replace the traditional mechanical knife. It has the characteristics of high precision, fast cutting speed, no restrictions on cutting shape, low processing cost, etc. The incision has no mechanical stress, the incision is smooth and flat, and it is safe and environmentally friendly.
