Aluminum plate is always a problem of laser cutting. High resistance materials are widely used in today's processing and manufacturing industries. Some types of laser cutting machines are difficult to complete this kind of cutting, because aluminum plates are highly resistant materials, their laser absorption is low, and it is difficult to cut aluminum plates by laser. However, due to its extensive processing needs, we must consider how to use laser to cut aluminum plates quickly and safely.

Due to the light absorption of materials, many machines will fail during forced cutting, such as unstable operation or automatic shutdown, which will seriously affect the service life and processing progress of the equipment.

Can aluminum plates be processed by laser cutting machine?

2000W laser cutting aluminum plates can be used to cut aluminum plates with a thickness of 6-8mm. Aluminum plates with a thickness of 15mm and aluminum plates with a thickness of less than 20mm can be cut by 4000W and 6000W laser cutting machines respectively.

The laser cutting machine can now process copper, aluminum and other highly corrosion-resistant materials, but it requires high power, so that burrs and cracks will not appear in the cutting process. Especially for aluminum cutting, it needs to cut at an appropriate speed, otherwise there may be cracks. Properly increasing the speed is an important method to avoid cracks without affecting the quality. Like copper, aluminum and other high resistance materials, laser equipment can also cut.

In the process of aluminum plate processing, some conditions should be noted. Aluminum materials are not resistant to high temperature and are prone to burrs during cutting. Processing techniques require patient debugging. At the same time, the speed should not be too fast. If the speed is too fast, burrs will easily appear in the cutting process. Too slow cutting speed will cause cracks near the cutting mouth, which will also affect the cutting quality.
