How to choose the suitable laser cutting machine?

When choosing a laser cutting machine, you need to consider multiple factors, including but not limited to product performance, brand strength, cutting material and thickness, equipment power, quality of core components, manufacturer strength, assembly technology, and after-sales service. Points to consider in these areas are detailed below.

1. Product performance

The product performance of the laser cutting machine is a very critical consideration. Different laser cutting machines have different performance characteristics, such as open laser cutting machines, switching table laser cutting machines, 10,000-watt laser cutting machines, large-format  laser cutting machines, plate and tube integrated laser cutting machines and so on. When choosing, you need to determine which type of laser cutting machine you need based on your own factory needs.

2. Brand strength

Brand strength is an important consideration when choosing a laser cutting machine. Laser cutting machines of big brands have better quality assurance, and the after-sales services provided by the manufacturers are also more complete. However, smaller brands are usually cheaper, but may lag behind larger brands in terms of cutting quality and speed.

3. Cutting material and thickness

The choice of laser cutting machine needs to consider the material and thickness to be cut. Different laser cutting machines are suitable for sheets of different materials and thicknesses. For example, to cut plates made of aluminum, copper, carbon steel, galvanized, stainless steel and other materials, you need to choose the corresponding equipment.

4. Equipment power

Equipment power is another important consideration. The higher the power, the thicker the plate that can be cut and the faster the cutting speed. But in the cutting process, more power is not always better. High power is suitable for cutting thick plates, but if you are cutting medium-thin plates, you pay more attention to accuracy and choose the corresponding medium power, and the cutting effect will be better.

5. Quality of core components

The core components of open-type laser cutting machines, such as laser generators, laser cutting heads, servo motors, etc., will directly affect the laser quality. When purchasing equipment, you need to confirm the brands and models of these components in advance, and try to choose imported products.

6. Manufacturer strength

Manufacturer strength is an important criterion for evaluating laser cutting machine and handheld laser welding machine manufacturers. Choose a handheld laser welding machine manufacturer with strength and a certain scale, and subsequent equipment repair and maintenance will be more guaranteed. At the same time, you can consult the manufacturer to learn more about the machine's price, machine training, payment methods, and after-sales service.

7. Assembly process

The assembly process directly affects the cutting accuracy of the equipment. The quality of a piece of equipment depends not only on the components of the core components, but also on the details of the assembly process and processing technology.

8. After-sales service

The after-sales service of each manufacturer varies greatly, and the warranty length also varies. In after-sales service, it is necessary to provide customers with daily maintenance solutions. For machines and laser software, there must be corresponding training systems to help customers get started as soon as possible. In addition, when laser cutting machine suppliers and handheld laser welding machine suppliers encounter problems that customers cannot solve themselves, it is also very important whether the suppliers can provide timely solutions.

To sum up, choosing a suitable laser cutting machine and handheld laser welding machine requires comprehensive consideration of all factors and comprehensive evaluation and comparison to ensure that you choose the equipment that best meets your needs.
