How to combine metal laser cutting machine with industrial automation technology?

0 Comments

As high-precision equipment in modern industrial manufacturing, metal laser cutting machine has been widely used in many fields with their efficient and precise cutting capabilities. The deep integration with industrial automation technology has further promoted improving production efficiency and product quality.

Application of CNC system

The core of the combination of metal laser cutting machines and industrial automation technology lies in the application of CNC systems. The CNC system can realize high-precision motion control and cutting process control of laser cutting machines and automatically complete complex cutting tasks through preset programs. This not only improves cutting accuracy but also realizes the automation and intelligence of the production process, reduces human errors, and improves production efficiency.

Automatic loading and unloading system

Metal laser cutting machines are usually equipped with automatic loading and unloading systems to improve production efficiency further. The system can automatically feed the metal material to be cut into the cutting area and automatically remove the finished product after cutting is completed, reducing manual intervention and labor intensity. At the same time, the automatic loading and unloading system can also reduce the production cycle and improve overall production efficiency.

Intelligent control system and detection technology

With the advent of the era of Industry 4.0, the application of intelligent control systems in metal laser cutting machines is becoming more and more extensive. The intelligent control system can self-adjust and optimize cutting parameters according to real-time production data, realize self-learning and self-adaptation of equipment, and further improve production efficiency and product quality. In addition, combined with a high-precision detection system, it can also detect errors in the cutting process online and compensate in real-time to ensure cutting accuracy and stability.

Automated maintenance

Automated maintenance of metal laser cutting machines is also an essential aspect of combining with industrial automation technology. The equipment can realize self-diagnosis and troubleshooting through the computerized control system and automatically replace and maintain components when necessary. This not only reduces maintenance time and cost but also extends the service life of the equipment and improves overall production efficiency.

In summary, the combination of metal laser cutting machines and industrial automation technology, through the application of CNC systems, automated loading and unloading systems, intelligent control systems, and automated maintenance technologies, has realized the automation, intelligence, and efficiency of the production process, injecting new vitality into modern industrial manufacturing.

Five common questions about laser cutting machines

1.What is the working principle of laser cutting machines?

Laser cutting is a thermal cutting method in which the laser generator’s laser is gathered into a dense laser beam through the optical path system and irradiated on the metal sheet, instantly melting or vaporizing the metal sheet. At the same time, the high-pressure gas coaxial with the beam blows away the molten material and residue to form a slit, and then the X, Y, and Z axes are controlled by a professional cutting system to achieve cutting.

2.What are the components of a laser cutting machine?

Usually, we divide laser cutting machines into five major parts: optical system, control system, motion system, cooling system, and machine tool frame. Three essential parts: laser cutting head, laser generator, and control system.

3.What are the application ranges of laser cutting machines?

Fiber laser cutting has unique advantages: high cutting efficiency, fast cutting speed, good cutting quality, non-contact cutting, clean, safe, pollution-free, and wide application range. It has been widely recognized in the market in just a few years. It is commonly used in metal external processing, automobile and ship, furniture industry, chassis and cabinet, kitchenware industry, advertising industry, educational teaching aids, machinery manufacturing, fitness equipment, elevator manufacturing, etc. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as it involves metal cutting, laser cutting machines are waiting to be used. Of course, laser cutting machines are also divided into metal and non-metal laser cutting machines, and users can choose according to their needs.

4.Is the operation of a laser-cutting machine dangerous?

Laser cutting is a new processing method, with closed operation, less dust, and less noise, which is safer and more environmentally friendly than plasma cutting and flame cutting. It is generally not harmful to the body as long as it is safe and regular operation.

5.Is the laser cutting machine difficult to operate?

The laser cutting machine has low requirements for operators, almost zero threshold, and has the characteristics of simplicity, easy learning, and ease of use.
