The Difference Between Laser Cutting Machine And Plasma Cutting Machine

Now more and more people have learned about laser cutting machines. However, in the field of CNC cutting machines, CNC plasma cutting machines are also a very important role. So what is the difference between laser cutting machine and plasma cutting machine?

The gap between the laser cutting machine and the plasma cutting machine is mainly two aspects: cutting thickness and operating costs.

Plasma cutting surfaces are rough, cutting thick plates have advantages, and the price is low. The laser cutting surface is smooth, and the plasma cutting is rough. The surface of laser cutting is smooth, the compensation is relatively high, and it is also more expensive. In terms of cost, plasma is about 1/3 cheaper than laser. The disadvantage of plasma is the width of the suture, about 3mm. The important part of plasma is the power supply, which is equivalent to laser laser. The power consumption of plasma is quite large. Common spare parts and electrode protection.

Plasma cutting machine is a new type of thermal cutting equipment. Its working principle is to compress the air as the working gase, with high -temperature and high -speed plasma arc as the heat source, melted the cut metal metal metal, and melted it with a high -speed airflow. The metal was blown away, forming a narrow seam. Plasma cutting machines can be used for various metal materials, such as stainless steel, aluminum, copper, cast iron, carbon steel, etc. Not only is the cutting speed, narrow seams, small cutting calories, small influence area, low workpiece deformation, simple operation, and operating effect. energy saving effect. The ion cutter is suitable for the manufacturing, installation and maintenance of various mechanical and metal structures, as well as the slope of cutting, opening, digging, and opening the plate. Plasma cutting is a processing method of melting (and evaporation) of the metal part of the workpiece incision using the heat of high -temperature plasma arcs. Plasma cutting machines are widely used in automotive, locomotive, pressure vessels, chemical machinery, nuclear industry, general machinery, construction machinery, steel structure and other industries!

Laser cutting is a high -power laser beam scanning material surface, which replaces the traditional mechanical knife. The mechanical part of the laser knife head does not contact the workpiece, and the surface of the workpiece will not be scratched during work. Subsequent treatment; small -cutting thermal impact, plates are deformation, narrow seams; incision has no mechanical stress, no shear burr; high processing accuracy, good repetitive, not damaged the surface of the material; CNC programming can processed any flat map, no need to open the mold, you can just open the mold, you can just open the mold. Cut the large rectifier to save time.
In terms of cutting accuracy, the plasma can reach less than 1mm, the laser can reach less than 0.2mm. In terms of cost, the plasma cutting machine is much cheaper than the laser cutting machine.

Detailed introduction about laser cutting machine and plasma cutting machine:

1.Laser cutting is much more accurate than plasma cutting is much smaller than the plasma cutting, and the seams are much smaller;

2.If you want to cut precision cutting, you want to cut the seam, and the heating area is small, and the plate is small. It is recommended to choose a laser cutting machine;

3.Plasma cutting is used as a working gas, and the high -temperature and high -speed plasma arc is used as a thermal source to melt the cut metal part of the cut metal;

4.The thermal impact area of ​​plasma cutting is relatively large, the seams are relatively wide, and the plate is not suitable, because the plate will be deformed;

5.Laser cutting machine is more expensive than plasma cutting machines.
