XT Laser-sheet metal laser cutting machine
With the increasing demand for sheet metal processing, the traditional cutting and blanking process requires a large number of molds, resulting in a situation of large investment and high time cost. Facts have proved that cutting and blanking can no longer meet the current market demand. The emergence of metal laser cutting machine has solved this problem to a certain extent. Electric control box and shell processing enterprises are the first industries to switch from traditional technology to sheet metal optical fiber laser cutting machine.

Disadvantages of traditional sheet metal processing technology: with the increasing demand for sheet metal processing capability, the process has gradually become more complex, and even some parts have dozens of processes, which also puts forward higher requirements for precision of sheet metal processing.
Traditional sheet metal processing includes shearing, blanking and bending processes, in which the blanking process requires a large number of molds and wastes a lot of time and capital costs.
Laser cutting is an efficient and high-quality flexible processing technology. Laser sheet metal processing does not require molds. Compared with traditional processing methods, laser cutting is easier to operate, more flexible, and lower in operation and maintenance costs.
Traditional sheet metal cutting equipment and process flow.
The traditional sheet metal processing process is: shearing – punching – bending – welding process or flame plasma cutting – bending – welding process. In the face of orders with multiple varieties, small batches, customization, high quality and short delivery time, it has obvious disadvantages:
(Digital control) Plate shears are mainly used for linear cutting, and can only be used for sheet metal processing that only needs linear cutting.
The CNC (brick tower) punch has restrictions on cutting steel plates with thickness greater than 1.5mm. The surface quality is poor, the cost is high, and the noise is loud, which is not conducive to ecological environment protection.
As the original traditional cutting method, flame cutting is only suitable for rough machining due to its large thermal deformation, wide cutting seam, waste of material and slow processing speed.
The processing speed of high-pressure water cutting is slow, resulting in serious pollution and high consumption cost.
Introduction to sheet metal laser cutting machine:
Laser cutting is a technological revolution in sheet metal processing and a “machining center” in sheet metal processing. Laser cutting technology has the advantages of flexibility and high flexibility. In view of the problems existing in traditional sheet metal cutting at this stage, the demand for laser cutting is also increasing.
Xintian Laser has innovated and upgraded the laser cutting technology accumulated over the years, launched a number of advanced laser cutting equipment, provided efficient and professional laser sheet metal processing solutions for the sheet metal processing industry, and finally realized the maximization of customer value.
Advantages of sheet metal fiber laser cutting machine.
Laser cutting has high flexibility, fast cutting speed, high production efficiency and short production cycle. Laser can realize rapid prototyping cutting for both simple and complex parts.
The cutting seam is narrow, the cutting quality is good, the degree of automation is high, the operation is convenient, the labor intensity is low, and there is no pollution.
It can realize automatic blanking and layout, improve material utilization rate, no tool wear, and good material adaptability.
Low production cost and good economic benefits.

Most sheet metal processing is provided by large and medium-sized enterprises. Users have different requirements for products, high requirements and urgent needs for commodities. Therefore, it is recommended to use high-power, large-format laser cutting machine. High power not only improves cutting ability, but also improves cutting efficiency. Large format and high material utilization can meet the cutting requirements of different formats.
Recommended solution for sheet metal laser cutting.
The medium and low power laser cutting scheme for sheet metal mainly refers to 500W-3000W laser equipment. Nowadays, few customers purchase 500W equipment. The main reason is that the range of the thickness of the plate that can be processed is too small. In the sheet metal processing industry, carbon steel within 20mm and stainless steel within 10mm can be cut. Xintian Laser suggests that the 3000W laser cutting machine for sheet metal can be directly used for processing. Considering the cost of purchasing equipment, Different power lasers can be configured according to actual production needs to meet production needs.
