Plasma cutting uses compressed air as working gas, high temperature and high speed plasma arc as heat source, partially melts the metal to be cut, and at the same time blows away the melted metal with high-speed airflow to form cutting.
The difference between fiber optic cutting machine and plasma cutting machine
1. Comparison of cutting mechanisms
1. Fiber optic cutting machine: Fiber optic cutting machine uses laser beam to cut metal, uses high-energy-density laser beam to quickly melt or vaporize the material, and then uses high-pressure oxygen to squeeze out the vaporized metal, thereby achieving the cutting effect.
2. Plasma cutting machine: Plasma cutting machine uses arc discharge to ionize gas to generate plasma, and then uses the high temperature and high energy of plasma to cut metal.
2. Differences in applicable materials
Plasma cutting machine is suitable for a wider range of metal types, such as steel, aluminum, copper, titanium, etc. In addition, it performs well in cutting thicker metal plates, especially carbon steel plates.
Fiber optic cutting machine is not only suitable for precision processing of metal materials, such as stainless steel, alloy steel, etc., but also can be used for cutting non-metallic materials, showing a wider range of material adaptability.
3. Consideration of precision and speed
Fiber optic cutting machine stands out with its high precision and fast cutting speed, with smooth cutting edges, fewer burrs and higher precision. It has significant advantages in cutting thin plate materials in particular. In comparison, although the plasma cutting machine performs well in cutting thick plate materials, it is slightly inferior in accuracy and speed, and the cutting edge has slight burrs.
4. Comprehensive analysis of cost and benefit
From the perspective of initial investment, the cost of fiber optic cutting machines is usually higher than that of plasma cutting machines. However, when considering long-term return on investment, it is necessary to weigh factors such as cutting efficiency, accuracy, scope of use, and subsequent maintenance costs. For users who pursue high precision and high efficiency, fiber optic cutting machines may bring higher economic benefits; for users who mainly deal with thick plate materials, plasma cutting machines may be more suitable.
