This year, as long as you pay attention to it, you will find that the air compressor for laser cutting is very popular. Laser cutting uses a high power density laser beam to illuminate the material being cut, so that the material is quickly heated to the vaporization temperature and evaporates to form a hole. As the beam moves toward the material, the hole is continuously formed into a narrow width (eg, about 0.1 mm). Cut the seam to complete the cutting of the material. Laser cutting is widely used in sheet metal processing, metal processing, advertising production, kitchen utensils, automobiles, lighting saw blades, elevators, metal crafts, textile machinery, grain machinery, glasses production, aerospace, medical equipment, instrumentation and other industries. In particular, it has replaced traditional processing methods in the sheet metal processing industry and is favored by industry users. Laser cutting accounts for more than 40% of industrial laser processing and is the most important application technology in the laser processing industry.
Before 2010, due to the high price of laser cutting equipment, a large-format laser cutting machine (equipped with 4 kW laser) sold for nearly 6 million yuan, and there are not many companies using large-format laser cutting machines in China. After 2011, domestic laser companies have vigorously developed high-power fiber laser cutting machines. Due to the unique processing advantages of high-power fiber laser processing, processing costs have dropped significantly.
At the same time, combined with a variety of flexible payment methods, more and more sheet metal processing companies, kitchen and bathroom manufacturing companies and automotive parts processing companies use laser cutting machines. In recent years, laser processing equipment has been rapidly popularized. In 2017, the sales volume of laser cutting equipment in China exceeded 25,000 units. In 2013, there were about 50-60 laser cutting equipment companies in China, and less than 20 high-power products capable of producing more than 2,000 watts. By the beginning of 2018, it is conservatively estimated that China has more than 400 laser cutting equipment companies and more than 200 companies capable of producing more than 3,000 watts of high-power products.
In the past decade, the laser cutting industry has undergone a series of changes, including improved material quality and thickness, machine power and efficiency, enabling today's laser cutting machines to be faster, more precise and better. Quality is highly efficient in processing a wide range of parts and components including automotive, aerospace, healthcare, plastics, electrical and electronics, textiles, wood and more.
