Ensure that the surface of the material is clean, free of dirt and oxide layer to avoid affecting the cutting effect. When necessary, use appropriate methods (such as surface grinding) to ensure that the material is in the best condition.
The setting of cutting parameters directly affects the cutting quality. During the setting process, the following factors need to be considered:
2.1 Cutting parameter selection for different materials
For materials of different types and thicknesses, cutting parameters (such as power, cutting speed, pulse frequency, etc.) should be different. The specific parameter selection steps are as follows:
Power setting:
The selection of laser power should be adjusted according to the thickness and type of the material. Generally, thicker materials require higher power for cutting. For example, for 1mm thick stainless steel, a lower power can be selected, while 3mm thick stainless steel requires higher power.
Cutting speed:
The cutting speed will also affect the quality of the cut. Too fast speed may result in incomplete cutting, while too slow speed may cause the cut to overheat, burn, etc.
Trial cutting setting:
Before actual cutting, you can perform a trial cut to observe the cutting effect and fine-tune the parameters to ensure the best cutting effect.
Perform a cutting test to verify the cutting effect and quality. The steps of the actual cutting test are as follows:
3.1 Observation and measurement of cutting effect
Observe the cutting process:
During the actual cutting, observe the operation of the machine and the real-time effect of cutting to ensure that the laser beam is stable and the cutting is smooth. At the same time, pay attention to the cutting sound, smoke and other phenomena.
Measure the size of the incision:
Use tools such as calipers to measure the size of the workpiece after cutting, confirm the width and depth of the incision, and ensure that it is consistent with the design drawing.
3.2 Analysis of incision quality (such as slag, incision smoothness)
Slag analysis:
Check whether there is slag or burning in the incision. Excessive slag usually indicates that the cutting parameters are not set correctly. The cutting speed and power should be adjusted for different materials to reduce slag generation.
Incision smoothness:
Evaluate the smoothness of the incision. Generally, a high-quality incision should have no obvious burrs and smooth edges. If necessary, the incision can be post-processed with a deburring tool.
Evaluate the geometry of the cut:
Check whether the shape of the cut is regular, whether there are problems such as tilting and deformation, which may be related to the debugging of the equipment and the setting of cutting parameters.
Through material preparation, cutting parameter setting and actual cutting test, the cutting effect and quality of the laser cutting machine can be fully verified. This series of steps not only helps to optimize the cutting process, but also improves the processing accuracy and quality of the product, providing strong support for subsequent production. In actual operation, the cutting parameters and effects should be fully recorded to provide a reference for future improvements and optimizations.
