CO2 laser cutting machine is a common laser cutting machine on the market at present. This laser cutting machine is also widely used in production, so it is also a mainstream laser cutting equipment. Do you know what advantages CO2 laser cutting machine has? What is its market positioning? Let's get to know each other.

The main advantage of CO2 laser cutting machine is its high power, which is generally between 2000-4000W. It can cut full-size stainless steel, carbon steel and other conventional materials within 25mm, aluminum plates within 4mm and acrylic plates, wood material plates and PVC plates within 60mm, and it is very fast when cutting thin plates. In addition, because CO2 laser outputs continuous laser, it is the most smooth and best cutting section among the three laser cutting machines when cutting.

Of course, it has its own disadvantages. This is mainly reflected in the fact that most of the core and key technologies of CO2 lasers are in the hands of European and American manufacturers, so most of the machines are expensive. Most of the machines cost more than 2 million yuan, and the related maintenance costs such as accessories and consumables are very high. In addition, the operating costs for actual use are very high, and the gas consumption during cutting is very large, so it is difficult or even impossible to cut aluminum, copper and other highly reflective materials.

Main market positioning: The medium and thick plate cutting processing of 6-25mm is mainly aimed at large and medium-sized enterprises and some laser cutting processing enterprises that are purely engaged in external processing. However, due to the insurmountable factors such as large laser maintenance consumption and large host power consumption, the market has been greatly impacted by solid laser cutting machines and high-power laser cutting machines in recent years, and the market is in a state of obvious shrinkage. It is estimated that with the further development of lasers in the future, Finally, CO2 laser cutting machine will be replaced by the master book of the latter two.
