With the maturity of fiber laser technology, the sheet metal processing industry has undergone disruptive changes. However, there is a minor flaw: laser cutting machines still have certain limitations. For instance, when cutting aluminum alloy materials, issues such as residual burrs (metal dross) on the cutting surface and rough cutting surfaces often occur. Such problems have long plagued the industry; therefore, more and more manufacturers have launched cutting processes with greater advantages. Below are introductions to several of these cutting processes:
Ultra-fine cutting is an application of fiber cutting technology, designed to optimize the cutting surface. It offers the following advantages:
- A wider range of cuttable materials;
- Faster cutting speed;
- Better cutting quality;
- Lower processing costs.
When applied in cutting operations, bright cutting enables the laser cutting process to be fast, precise, environmentally friendly, and energy-efficient, while significantly reducing the difficulty of using this process. The cutting results of bright cutting feature:
- No dross or burrs on the bottom of the cut;
- A smooth, bright-colored cutting surface.
In addition to the above, there are other advanced processes, including:
- Extreme cutting for carbon steel;
- Extreme small-hole cutting for thick plates;
- Perfect sharp-angle cutting process for thick carbon steel plates;
- New breakthroughs in cutting processes for stainless steel and non-ferrous metals.
