How to choose a laser cutting head and what to pay attention to?

Optical parameters, compatibility, heat dissipation and power, etc. are important factors for us to choose a laser cutting head. With the continuous improvement of processing quality requirements, laser cutting equipment is developing towards refinement and specialization.

How to choose a laser cutting head

1. Optical parameters.

The laser is the energy core of the laser cutting head, and the primary factor affecting the work of the laser cutting head is the optical parameter. Optical parameters include collimation focal length, focusing focal length, spot size, effective working focal length, adjustable focal length range, etc. These parameters are closely related to the cutting process of the laser cutting head, whether different cutting processes can be effectively realized, or the laser cutting head can Whether it can meet the requirements of a certain process depends on this.

2. Compatibility

The laser cutting head needs to cooperate with a variety of equipment to complete the cutting work, such as laser cutting machine, chiller, laser, etc. The strength of the manufacturer determines the compatibility of the laser cutting head. The laser cutting head with good compatibility has strong working synergy ability, so it will not affect the performance of other equipment.

3.power and heat dissipation.

The power of the laser cutting head determines how thick the plate can be cut, and the heat dissipation determines the cutting time. Therefore, in mass production, special attention should be paid to the performance of power and heat dissipation. Of course, with the current level of technological maturity, meeting a certain power is not a problem.

According to such demand, laser cutting head companies have developed professional cutting heads one after another. Like Wanshunxing, a company specializing in laser cutting heads, it also provides other supporting cutting head products, such as laser cutting nozzles, laser welding heads, ceramic rings and so on. Domestic laser cutting head manufacturers can now achieve traceless cutting of medium and small power lasers. Of course, when it comes to high power, there is still a lot to be desired.
