Release time: 2021-11-08

The five axis laser cutting machine is an advanced metal cutting equipment that combines the high precision and speed of laser cutting technology, as well as the flexibility of five axis processing. It is mainly used for cutting metal sheets, pipes, and irregular parts. The following will provide a detailed introduction to the characteristics, working principle, application fields, and advantages of the five axis laser cutting machine.
1、 Characteristics
1. High precision: Laser cutting technology has the characteristics of high precision and high speed, which can accurately cut various shapes of parts, and the incision is smooth and without burrs.
2. Five axis machining: Five axis machining has higher flexibility and can complete cutting at various angles and positions, with strong adaptability.
3. Efficient and Stable: The five axis laser cutting machine adopts advanced control systems and mechanical structures, ensuring the stability and efficiency of the equipment.
4. High degree of automation: The equipment is usually equipped with functions such as automatic feeding, automatic positioning, and automatic cutting, which improves production efficiency.
2、 Working principle
The five axis laser cutting machine mainly consists of a laser generator, cutting head, five axis worktable, control system, etc. During operation, the high-energy laser beam generated by the laser generator is focused on the surface of the metal material through the cutting head, causing the material to quickly melt, vaporize, or reach the ignition point. At the same time, the melted or burned material is blown away by high-speed airflow, thereby achieving cutting. The five axis workbench can rotate freely and tilt back and forth to achieve cutting at various angles and positions.
3、 Application field
1. Metal plate cutting: The five axis laser cutting machine can be used for cutting various metal plates, such as stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum plates, etc.
2. Pipe cutting: The five axis worktable equipped with the five axis laser cutting machine can rotate freely, thereby achieving multi angle cutting of pipes.
3. Cutting of irregular parts: For complex shaped parts such as mechanical parts and automotive parts, the five axis laser cutting machine can also easily handle them.
4、 Advantages
1. Improve production efficiency: The five axis laser cutting machine can simultaneously cut multiple parts, improving production efficiency.
2. Improve product quality: Due to the high precision and speed characteristics of laser cutting technology, product quality can be improved.
3. Reduce production costs: The flexibility of five axis machining allows the equipment to adapt to various shapes of parts, thereby reducing production costs.
4. Reduce labor costs: The high degree of automation enables equipment to reduce labor costs and lower operational costs for enterprises.
In summary, the five axis laser cutting machine is an advanced metal cutting equipment with characteristics such as high precision, high speed, and strong flexibility. It is widely used for cutting various metal sheets, pipes, and irregular parts. By using a five axis laser cutting machine, enterprises can improve production efficiency, product quality, and reduce production costs, thereby achieving better economic and social benefits.
