The era of the 10,000-watt laser cutting machine has come. With 10,000 watts, it leads the future.

With the pursuit of efficiency and craftsmanship in the entire processing and manufacturing industry, domestic laser cutting technology has continued to make breakthroughs, and the 10,000-watt laser cutting machine has been enthusiastically sought after by the entire industry due to its unique advantages such as high power, high performance, and high stability. The era of the 10,000-watt laser cutting machine has come. With 10,000 watts, it leads the future.

The high-power large-format fiber laser cutting machine has the advantages of large cutting format and fast cutting speed. It can cut thicker metal plates and has stable performance, which is an inevitable trend in the development of laser cutting technology. With the continuous improvement of market demand, the in-depth application of laser cutting technology will further promote the development of laser cutting machines to high precision and high power.

At present, the most popular power in the market is 10,000 watts, and the most popular among 10,000 watts is the 12KW laser cutting machine, which occupies a large market share with its excellent performance and price advantage. With the significant advantages of the series, the market has begun to develop towards higher power, starting from 12KW to 20KW or even 30KW, trying to realize more possibilities, and higher-power equipment has also made a splash in the market with its unique advantages. whirlwind. Everyone can't help but start thinking, is the higher the power the better? Which power is the most cost-effective? Which one is more suitable to choose? In response to these, everyone may have many questions. In fact, for different users, because each company has different processing materials, different product requirements, and different production needs, it is the most important to choose the one that suits you. Higher is better. So how do you choose the most suitable power for you? Next, I will take you to compare the cutting efficiency of 12KW and 20KW, hoping to help you with your choice. Let's go~

 

12KW VS 20KW Performance Competition

When purchasing a fiber laser cutting machine, you need to consider whether the power of the equipment can meet your own cutting needs. The power of the laser cutting machine is one of the core parameters of the equipment. The materials cut by the fiber laser cutting machine are metal materials, mainly stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum plates, brass, etc. The higher the equipment power, the thicker the cutting thickness and the faster the cutting speed.

Under the condition of auxiliary oxygen, when cutting 30mm and 40mm carbon steel, the 20KW laser cutting machine has obvious advantages, and the cutting efficiency is about 1.5 times and 2 times higher than that of the 12KW laser cutting machine, respectively.

Under the condition of auxiliary air, when cutting 10mm carbon steel, the laser cutting efficiency of 20KW is doubled compared with that of 12KW. 12KW directly cannot cut 20mm carbon steel. After market inspection, in addition to saving time and labor costs when cutting 20mm carbon steel, gas cost air cutting saves about 5 yuan/hour than oxygen cutting cost.

When cutting stainless steel, whether it is auxiliary air or nitrogen, the overall advantage of the 20KW laser cutting machine is very obvious. The cutting efficiency is greatly improved compared with 12KW, and most of the stainless steel cutting 10mm-40mm efficiency is more than doubled.

From the comparison in the picture, we can see that the cutting thickness and speed of the 20KW cutting machine are better than those of the 12KW cutting machine in terms of different materials. Own cutting machine, both cutting machines are currently mainstream metal processing products on the market.

 

Main industry applications of laser cutting machine

At present, laser cutting machines are mainly used in sheet metal processing, hardware products, kitchen utensils, machinery manufacturing, aerospace, auto parts manufacturing, communication equipment, steel structures and other related manufacturing and processing industries, to meet different users' requirements for fiber laser cutting machines. demand. Different industries, different products, and different processing requirements have different power requirements.

According to the market research of author:

Small fiber laser cutting machine is mainly used in hardware, kitchen and bathroom utensils and other industries;

Medium power fiber laser cutting machine is mainly used in advertising, sheet metal processing, fitness equipment, chassis and other industries;

High-power fiber laser cutting machines are mainly used in aerospace, rail transit, auto parts manufacturing, communication equipment, high-end mechanical equipment manufacturing and other industries;

In general, the choice of how much power fiber laser cutting machine depends on the cutting needs of customers.

After the above comparison, everyone has an in-depth understanding of the 12KW and 20KW laser cutting machine products. In fact, no matter how much power, the most suitable one is the best. When purchasing a fiber laser cutting machine, you can choose from various aspects such as processing details, thickness, speed, price, etc., and match the corresponding power size according to the materials to be processed. At the same time, don't forget to check whether the price meets your own budget. . Having said so much, let's take a look at XT LASER's GP series products.
