It is believed that the operators of the laser cutting machine will be very familiar with the composition and functions of the laser cutting machine, but some of them know that the laser cutting machine can perform laser cutting, but they may not have a special understanding of its specific composition and functions. Today, I would like to share a little knowledge with you.

1. Operation console

It is used to control the working process of the whole cutting device, from which all operation commands are issued.

2. Laser cutting head

The laser cutting head drive device is used to drive the cutting head to move along the Z axis according to the program, and is composed of servo motor, screw rod or gear and other transmission parts. It mainly includes cavity, focusing lens base, focusing mirror, capacitive sensor, auxiliary gas nozzle and other parts.

3. Regulated power supply

Device connected between laser, CNC machine tool and power supply system. It is mainly used to prevent external power grid interference and stabilize voltage.

4. Laser numerical control system

The laser controls the machine tool to realize the movement of X, Y, Z axes, and also controls the output power of the laser.

5. Laser generator and external optical path

Device for generating laser light source

The external optical path is a refracting mirror, which is used to guide the laser to the desired direction. In order to avoid failure of the beam path, all mirrors shall be protected by protective covers, and clean positive pressure protective gas shall be introduced to protect the lenses from pollution.

6. Air compressor and air tank

Supply and store compressed air.

7. Slag extractor

The leftover materials and wastes generated during processing shall be eliminated.

8. Gas cylinder

It includes the working medium gas cylinder and auxiliary gas cylinder of the laser cutting machine, which are used to supplement the industrial gas of the laser vibration and supply the auxiliary gas for the cutting head.

9. Machine host

The machine tool part of the laser cutting machine is the mechanical part that realizes the movement of X, Y, Z axes, including the cutting platform. It is used to place the workpiece to be cut, and can move correctly and accurately according to the control program, usually driven by a servo motor.

10. Chiller

Used to cool the laser generator. Laser is a device that converts electric energy into light energy. For example, the conversion rate of CO2 gas laser is generally 20%, and the remaining energy is converted into heat. The cooling water takes away the excess heat to maintain the normal operation of the laser generator.

11. Exhaust dust remover

The smoke and dust generated during processing shall be extracted and filtered to make the exhaust gas emission meet the environmental protection standards.

12. Air cooled dryer and filter

It is used to supply clean dry air to the laser generator and beam path to keep the path and reflector working properly.

I hope that through the above sharing, we can have more knowledge and understanding of the composition and functions of the laser cutting machine.
