What are the factors that affect the cutting accuracy of laser cutting machines

Laser cutting is a technology that uses laser to cut materials, typically used in industrial manufacturing applications. The working principle of laser cutting is usually guided by an optical system to output high-power lasers.

It is very important to choose the appropriate cutting speed when using a laser cutting machine to process workpieces, and the appropriate cutting speed also needs to be determined through multiple practices. Due to different thicknesses, materials, and melting points of materials, the cutting speed may also vary.

The accuracy of laser cutting machines does not entirely depend on the cutting machine itself, and its influencing factors mainly include the following aspects:

The laser beam emitted by the laser cutting machine is conical, and the gaps cut are also conical. During cutting, the laser beam gradually becomes thinner downwards. When the thickness of the workpiece is relatively large, the gap cut will also increase, and the cutting accuracy will decrease.

2. The size of laser solidification in the laser generator. If the spot is very small, the gap after cutting will be very small, indicating that the laser cutting machine has high accuracy and quality.

3. The accuracy of the workbench. If the accuracy of the workbench is very high, then the cutting accuracy will be improved. Therefore, the accuracy of the workbench is also a very important factor in measuring the accuracy of the laser generator.

4. Different cutting materials can also affect the accuracy of laser cutting machines. In the same situation, there will be a significant difference in cutting accuracy between stainless steel and aluminum. Stainless steel cutting accuracy will be higher, and the cross-section will also be smooth.
