How much power do aluminum plate laser cutting machines need to choose?

Aluminum plates are common metal materials and are widely used in many industries, such as kitchenware, chassis and electrical cabinets, door and window manufacturing, etc. However, when it comes to processing, there are almost no high-precision aluminum plate cutting equipment. Below, SAN LASER will introduce you to the laser cutting machine used for high-precision processing of aluminum plates.

Aluminum plates have the characteristics of high reflection, which is difficult to cut for laser cutting machines. However, with the continuous development of laser cutting machines, the power is getting bigger and bigger. Aluminum plate cutting has gradually become a simple matter. Aluminum plate laser cutting machines are mainly used to process relatively thin aluminum plates, generally aluminum materials with a thickness of less than 5mm. Aluminum plate laser cutting machines not only have a fast cutting speed, but also simple and fast operation. They do not require clumsy manual production. Through high-tech computer software design, the equipment can accurately process metal materials and cut out any complex graphic parts.

Aluminum plate laser cutting machines must take into account the reflection of cutting, so the laser must penetrate the aluminum plate during cutting, so as not to cause laser reflection to burn the laser. Therefore, it is generally recommended to choose a laser cutting machine with a higher power than that for cutting carbon steel of the same thickness when cutting aluminum plates. Generally, it is recommended to choose a power of 1500W or above for 1-3 thick aluminum plates. The thickest thickness of 6000W can be cut to 16mm, and 4500W can also cut to 12mm.
