If the water mist and oil contained in the compressed air are not cleaned, the high pressure is sprayed onto the protective mirror surface of the laser cutting head, which will seriously affect the transmission of the laser beam, disperse the focus, and cause the product to be cut through and produce waste. If it is a super-power laser cutting machine, as long as the mirror surface or the nozzle surface is glued with a little fine oil film or water mist, it may cause high-energy laser emission to burn out the laser head.
Since most users do not have the knowledge of air compressor and compressed air purification treatment, if the user purchases the air compressor, the gas storage tank, the cold dryer and the filter separately, it is not only troublesome, but also the whole system. The required compressed air quality requirements are not met. Therefore, the current popular practice in the market is to integrate compressors, gas storage tanks, water separators, cold dryers and filters to provide a laser-cut integrated air compressor solution, eliminating the need for user-supplied gas storage. Tanks, dryers and filters, users can install and take over on site, and need a variety of troubles from multiple suppliers. This is an ideal choice. At present, nearly ten compressor companies have launched laser cutting special integrated screw compressor products.
However, although the domestic laser cutting machine technology has made breakthrough development in recent years, it is advancing toward high power, high precision and large format. However, power laser cutting machine develops later than medium and low power laser cutting machine. It relies heavily on foreign imports. Moreover, because the price of the laser head of the ultra-high power laser cutting machine (12000W or more) is more than 20,000, most air compressor suppliers can not handle the oil and moisture in the compressed air, and most of the super high power lasers. Users of cutting machines are reluctant to take the risk of using compressed air as an auxiliary gas. Therefore, for laser cutting compressors, the industry needs to break through not only to provide clean and compressed air without oil and water, but also to build on the needs of users, to reduce costs, stable performance, easy operation, etc., and actively cultivate the market. To change the user's inherent thinking habits and expand the market for compressors in the field of laser cutting.
In the context of China's smart manufacturing, the industrial sector has shown a trend of transition from traditional processing to high-end manufacturing. The market scale of laser cutting in China will continue to grow at a high speed. In this context, it is believed that the performance of screw compressors in the field of laser cutting will be very gratifying.
