How YAG laser can be used for cutting?
This article introduces the processing principle, application, performance and advantages of YAG laser cutting machine.
Processing principle of YAG laser cutting machine
Principle of high-energy laser metal cutting machine: The metal laser cutting machine uses a metal laser with a xenon lamp as the excitation source to output a high-energy-density laser beam, and focuses on the surface of the workpiece, so that the area on the workpiece irradiated by the light spot is partially melted and vaporized instantly. Automatic punching is realized by moving the spot irradiation position through a computer-controlled numerical control mechanical system. It is a high-tech equipment integrating laser technology, numerical control technology and precision machinery technology.

6. The slit is the narrowest, the heat affected zone is the smallest, the local deformation of the workpiece is extremely small, and there is no mechanical deformation.
7. With good processing flexibility, it can process any graphics, and can also cut pipes and other special-shaped materials.
8. It can perform non-deformation cutting on materials of any hardness such as steel plates, stainless steel, aluminum alloy plates, and hard alloys.
9. Imported optical components are used, with good beam quality and high electro-optical conversion efficiency.
10. Compared with CNC punching machine, YAG laser cutting machine has the following advantages:
- Can complete the processing of various complex structures, as long as any image can be drawn on the computer, the machine can complete the processing.
- There is no need to open the mold, just make the drawing on the computer, and the product can be produced immediately, which can quickly develop new products and save costs.
- The YAG cutting machine has an automatic tracking system, so it can complete both plane cutting and various uneven surface cutting.
- The complex process requires CNC punching to be difficult to complete, and laser cutting can do it.
- The surface is very smooth and the product grade is very high, which is difficult for CNC punching machines.
11. Stable performance to ensure continuous production. Solid-state YAG laser is one of the most stable and mature products in the laser field.
12. The applicable cost is low, and only blowing air can be used in the cutting process of all materials.
13. Strong ability to create value, a (medium format) laser cutting machine can create a net profit of 100,000-150,000 yuan a month under normal production conditions.
14. The focal length automatic tracking cutting head design can ensure the cutting quality even if the surface of the material is uneven. The cutting seam is smooth and beautiful, and no subsequent processing procedures are required.
The main features of YAG laser cutting machine
Imported laser generator, unparalleled stability, on-site cutting of 0.1-10mm stainless steel plate, is the best choice for metal sheet cutting! !
- Equipped with imported high-sensitivity tracking system, inductive automatic anti-collision laser cutting head;

The advantages of YAG laser cutting machine
★. High cost performance: The price of YAG solid-state laser cutting machine is only 1/3 of that of CO2 laser cutting machine of similar performance, and 2/5 of that of CNC punching machine with the same effect; high cutting precision, suitable for cutting precision hardware accessories, and can also cut hollow parts. A fine craftsmanship of calligraphy and painting.
★. The cutting speed is fast, which is more than 100 times of the wire cutting speed; the heat-affected zone of the incision is small, it will not be deformed, and the cutting seam is flat, and no post-processing is required.
★. The use cost is very low: only 1/10 of the similar CO2 laser cutting machine, the hourly cost is only about 15 yuan, and the hourly cost of the CO2 laser cutting machine is about 150-180 yuan; the follow-up maintenance cost is very low: only It is 1/10~1/15 of the same type of CO2 laser cutting machine, and 1/3~1/4 of the CNC punching machine with the same effect.
★. stable performance, suitable for continuous mass production (solid YAG laser is one of the most stable and mature products in the laser field).
★. Compared with CNC punching machine, YAG solid-state laser cutting machine has the following advantages:
- The minimum line width is about 0.1mm, so it can complete the processing of various complex structures. As long as any image can be drawn on the computer, the machine can complete the processing.
- The YAG cutting machine has an automatic system, so it can complete both plane cutting and various uneven surface cutting.
- The complex process requires CNC punching to be difficult to complete, and laser cutting can do it.
- The incision and surface are very smooth, and the product grade is very high, which is difficult for CNC punching machines.
- When the formed box (within a thickness of 0.5 meters) needs to be processed by adding holes and grooves, the CNC punching machine cannot handle it, but the YAG CNC metal laser cutting machine can easily solve the problem.
