What is a CO2 Laser Machine?
A laser enables precise and efficient cutting of numerous materials in industry. Of the CO2 laser works with a carbon dioxide gas mixture And is one of the most powerful lasers. A CO2 laser engraver can cut and engrave metal materials, its efficiency is low. So the CO2 laser machine is mainly for cutting and engraving non-metal materials.
CO2 Lasers
CO2 lasers also possess some advantages. As previously stated, CO2 lasers perform better on materials thicker than 5 mm. They leave a smoother finish than fiber laser and perform the cut more quickly. Additionally, CO2 lasers provide a smoother cut edge, especially in materials thicker than 3 mm. CO2 lasers are very sensitive machines. The mirrors that focus the laser require realignment if they get knocked out of place.
Fiber Lasers
The advantages of fiber lasers are plentiful. There are no moving parts or mirrors in a fiber laser which means nothing must be aligned. This results in a lower overall maintenance cost. The insensitivity of the machine leads to lower operating and maintenance costs. Fiber lasers have excellent electrical efficiency when compared to CO2 lasers. This makes them more efficient than CO2 with the added benefits of lower running costs along with being environmentally friendly. Fiber lasers also have an advantage with regard to cutting thin materials. They are close to three times faster at cutting on stainless steel with a 1 mm thickness than CO2 lasers.
Advantages of CO2 Laser Machine
High-Precision Cutting
CO2 laser cutting machines are known for their excellent precision. The laser beam can be controlled very precisely, usually between 0.1 and 0.5. This allows tiny cuts and engravings to be made on the workpiece without damaging the surrounding material. This means it can achieve complex geometries and subtle patterns.
High Speed Cutting
CO2 laser cutting machines can complete a large amount of cutting work in a short time, far exceeding traditional cutting methods. The laser beam moves at extremely high speeds and can cut complex patterns or shapes in seconds. This makes it very useful in high-volume production, such as automotive manufacturing and sheet metal processing, to improve production efficiency.
Contactless Cutting
Laser cutting is a non-contact processing method that does not require physical contact with the workpiece surface. This means that the CO2 laser cutting machine does not introduce any mechanical stress or deformation, nor does it damage the surface of the material. This is important for applications where material finish and surface quality need to be maintained. For example, CO2 laser cutters are used in microelectronics manufacturing to cut very fragile wafers or circuit boards without causing any damage to them.
Multi-Material Adaptability
CO2 laser cutting machines have excellent multi-material cutting capabilities and can handle many different types of materials, including metal, plastic, wood, paper, ceramics, etc. From metal processing to paper manufacturing, from woodworking to leather crafts, CO2 laser cutting machines can cut different materials as needed without changing knives or tool tables, which greatly improves work efficiency.
CO2 lasers are typically used with power ranging from 10 to 400 watts for marking, cutting, or engraving thin, organic materials including plastics, textiles, or wood. Very sharp cutting quality can be accomplished by cutting PMMA (“acrylic”, “Plexiglas”) - when processed correctly, the cutting edges are just as transparent as the surrounding exteriors of the workpiece.
CO2 lasers with increased power between 1 to 6 kilowatts are typical industrial lasers used for welding, hardening, or remelting metals. In modern production, CO2 lasers are increasingly used for oxide-free laser cutting. In particular, laser cutting machines are used for small batches in sheet metal processing.
Laser Power Supply: Supplies the high-voltage power for the laser tubes. The generated laser light passes through the reflecting mirrors, and the light guide system guides the laser to the direction required for the workpiece.
Laser Oscillator: The main equipment for generating laser light.
Reflecting Mirrors: Guide the laser in the required direction. In order to prevent the beam path from malfunctioning, all mirrors must be put on protective covers.
Cutting Torch: mainly includes parts such as a laser gun body, focusing lens, and auxiliary gas nozzle, etc.
Working Table: Used to place the cutting piece, and can move accurately according to the control program, usually driven by a stepper motor or a servo motor.
Cutting Torch Driving Device: Used to drive the cutting torch to move along the X-axis and Z-axis according to the program. It is composed of transmission parts such as a motor and a lead screw. (From a three-dimensional perspective, the Z-axis is the vertical height, and the X and Y axes are horizontal)
CNC System: The term CNC stands for computer numerical control. It controls the movement of the cutting plane and the cutting torch and also controls the output power of the laser.
Control Panel: Used to control the entire working process of this cutting equipment.
Gas Cylinders: Including laser working medium gas cylinders and auxiliary gas cylinders. It is used to supply the gas for laser oscillation and supply auxiliary gas for cutting.
Water Chiller: It is used to cool the laser tubes. A laser tube is a device that converts electrical energy into light energy. If the conversion rate of a CO2 laser is 20%, the remaining 80% of the energy is converted into heat. Therefore, the water chiller is needed to take away the excess heat to keep the tubes working fine.
Air Pump: It is used to supply clean and dry air to the laser tubes and beam path to keep the path and reflector working normally.
At the start of the laser cutting process, the laser device creates a beam of light and directs it towards the outlet via mirrors. The mirrors form a resonator that builds up the light energy in the beam. On its way, it goes through a focusing lens that concentrates the beam. The cutting head has a nozzle in it which channels the beam onto the working piece. The focused laser beam melts the metal.
During the cutting process, gas is emitted. When cutting mild steel, pure oxygen is released to start a burning process. In the case of stainless steel or aluminum cutting, the laser beam just melts the metal. The cutting gas is then nitrogen, to blow out the molten metal and keep the cuts clean. For lasers to work, the material must absorb the emitted heat. With metals, a large portion of the light is reflected back. Therefore, a powerful laser is needed to generate the necessary heat for cutting despite reflection. The light that bounces back can harm the machine. Some types of metal, like copper alloys and certain aluminium grades are too reflective for CO2 lasers. This is a limitation that hampers different use cases.
Daily Maintenance Tips for CO2 Laser Machine
Clean the Lens:
Clean the lens of the laser cutting machine daily to prevent dirt and debris from affecting the quality of the laser beam. Use a lens-cleaning cloth or lens-cleaning solution to remove any buildup. In case of stubborn stains sticking to the lens, the lens can be soaked in alcohol solution before subsequent cleaning.
Check the Water Levels:
Make sure the water levels in the water tank are at the recommended levels to ensure proper cooling of the laser. Check the water levels daily and refill as necessary. Extreme weather, such as hot summer days and cold winter days, add condensation to the chiller. This will increase the specific heat capacity of the liquid and keep the laser tube at a constant temperature.
Check the Air Filters:
Clean or replace the air filters every 6 months or as needed to prevent dirt and debris from affecting the laser beam. If the filter element is too dirty, you can buy a new one to replace it directly.
Check the Power Supply:
Check the CO2 laser machine power supply connections and wiring to ensure that everything is securely connected and there are no loose wires. If the power indicator is abnormal, be sure to contact the technical personnel in time.
Check the Ventilation:
Make sure that the ventilation system is working properly to prevent overheating and ensure proper airflow. Laser, after all, belongs to thermal processing, which produces dust when cutting or engraving materials. Therefore, keeping the ventilation and stable operation of the exhaust fan plays a great role in extending the service life of the laser equipment.
