What are the main components of a laser cutting machine?

The laser cutting machine mainly consists of the following main parts:

Laser generator: The laser generator is the core component of a laser cutting machine, used to generate high-energy and high-density laser beams. Commonly used laser sources include fiber lasers, CO2 lasers, etc.

Optical system: The optical system is used to focus and guide the laser beam to the cutting position. It usually includes optical components such as collimators, focal length mirrors, and lenses, which achieve laser beam focusing and precise positioning through optical path adjustment.

Cutting head: The cutting head is a component installed on the laser, which includes a focal length mirror, shield, and jet device. The main function of the cutting head is to protect the focal length mirror from contamination by impurities and molten matter, and to provide auxiliary gas, such as nitrogen or oxygen, through a jet device.

Motion system: The motion system includes a workpiece table and a motion control system. The workpiece table is used to fix the workpiece to be cut, and the motion control system controls the laser cutting machine to move along a predetermined path to achieve accurate cutting shape.

Auxiliary gas system: The auxiliary gas system is usually supplied by compressed air or inert gas. It helps to remove molten residue generated in the cutting area through high-speed spraying to ensure cutting quality.

Control system: The control system is the core control unit of the laser cutting machine, used to control the coordination of various parts of the laser cutting machine. It controls parameters such as laser power, cutting speed, and processing path by processing and interpreting operation instructions.
