10KW Laser Cutting Machine

The cost of a 10kw laser cutting machine may vary depending on many factors such as manufacturer, country of origin, features, and automation level. Generally, a basic 10kw laser cutting machine costs between $65,000 and $150,000. If more functions are required, such as automatic loading and unloading devices or automatic nozzle replacement functions, the cost of the machine may be higher.

Keep in mind that this cost is a general estimate only, and actual costs may vary significantly depending on the specific requirements of the machine and manufacturer. Plus, the purchase cost of the machine is only one aspect to consider when investing in laser-cutting equipment. Other factors to consider include maintenance and operating costs, training and support, and availability of replacement parts. It is also important to ensure that the machine is well-suited to your specific cutting needs and production goals.

While purchasing a 10kw laser cutting machine can be a significant investment, it can also provide significant benefits such as increased efficiency, precision, and speed, resulting in increased productivity and cost savings in the long run. It is also important to ensure proper training and maintenance to maximize the life and performance of the machine.

The 10kw laser cutting machine is a powerful tool that can cut various metals with high precision and high speed. The machine’s high-powered laser beam enables it to easily cut thick metal materials that are difficult or impossible to cut with other types of cutting machines. Here are some examples of metals that a 10kw laser cutting machine can cut:

• Stainless Steel: It can easily cut stainless steel, including 304, 316, and 430 grades. Stainless steel is a commonly used material in the manufacture of kitchenware, medical devices, and construction applications due to its durability, corrosion resistance, and aesthetics.
• Carbon Steel: It can quickly and efficiently cut various grades and thicknesses of carbon steel. Carbon steel is a strong and durable metal widely used in the manufacture of machinery, construction materials, and auto parts.
• Aluminum: Aluminum is a popular material in many industries, and fiber laser-cutting machines can cut it with high precision and speed. It is important to note that cutting aluminum with a fiber laser generator can create reflective surfaces that can damage the laser generator, so special precautions may need to be taken to protect the laser source.
• Copper: It cuts copper with high precision, but it can be challenging to finish the cut due to copper’s high reflectivity. Copper is a highly conductive metal commonly used in electrical and plumbing applications.
• Brass: It cuts brass with high precision, resulting in clean edges and minimizing material waste. Brass is a metal alloy made of copper and zinc that is often used in decorative applications such as jewelry and musical instruments.
• Titanium: It can cut titanium with high precision, but it is challenging due to its high melting point and low thermal conductivity. Titanium is a strong, lightweight metal commonly used in aerospace, medical and military applications.
• Nickel Alloys: It can cut nickel alloys with high precision and high speed. Nickel alloys are commonly used in the aerospace and power generation industries.

In addition to these metals, the 10kw laser cutting machine can also cut galvanized sheets and various alloys. The versatility and precision of fiber laser cutting machines make them a popular choice for industries that require high-quality, efficient metal cutting.

The 10kw laser cutting machine is capable of cutting a variety of thicknesses, depending on the type of metal being cut and other factors such as cutting speed and laser beam focus. Here are some general guidelines for the maximum thickness a 10kw laser cutting machine can cut some common metals:

• Stainless Steel: It can cut stainless steel with a thickness ranging from 0.5mm to 35mm.
• Carbon Steel: It can cut carbon steel with a thickness ranging from 0.5mm to 45mm.
• Aluminum: It can cut aluminum with a thickness ranging from 0.5mm to 30mm.
• Copper: It can cut copper with a thickness ranging from 0.5mm to 18mm.
• Brass: It can cut brass with a thickness ranging from 0.5mm to 18mm.
• Titanium: It can cut titanium with a thickness ranging from 0.5mm to 16mm.

It is important to note that cut thickness can vary due to several factors such as:

• Material Properties: The type of metal being cut affects the maximum thickness that can be cut. For example, high-strength steel may be more difficult to cut than mild steel and may require slower cutting speeds or more power to achieve a clean cut.
• Laser Power And Beam Quality: The power output and beam quality of the laser source will also affect the maximum thickness that can be cut. Higher power output cuts thicker materials faster and more efficiently, while a higher-quality beam provides better edge quality and reduces the risk of defects.
• Cutting Speed And Gas Pressure: The speed at which the cutting head moves and the pressure of the assist gas used also affect the maximum thickness that can be cut. Thicker materials may require slower cutting speeds to ensure a clean cut, while higher air pressures can help remove molten material and prevent dross or dross from forming.
• Machine Configuration: The size and configuration of the machine will also affect the maximum thickness that can be cut. Larger machines with larger cutting beds may be able to handle thicker materials than smaller machines, while additional features such as autofocus or dynamic beam control can improve cutting accuracy and speed.

Always refer to the manufacturer’s specifications and guidelines when determining the maximum thickness that a 10kw laser cutting machine can cut. AccTek Laser recommends trial cuts and adjustments as needed to optimize the cutting process for specific materials and thicknesses.

The cutting speed of a 10kw laser cutting machine depends on several factors, including the type and thickness of the material being cut, the power of the laser generator, and the cutting parameters used. In general, fiber laser cutting technology is often able to cut through materials faster than other cutting methods such as plasma or waterjet cutting. Here are some typical cutting speeds for a 10kw fiber laser cutting machine:

• Carbon Steel: Cutting speeds for carbon steel will vary depending on the thickness of the material. It can cut 10mm thick carbon steel plate at a speed of 2.8 m/min, and can also cut 20mm thick carbon steel plate at a speed of 1.4 m/min.
• Aluminum: It can cut a 5mm thick aluminum sheet at a speed of up to 20m/min, but the cutting speed will drop to 4.0m/min when cutting a 10mm thick aluminum sheet. Additionally, aluminum is more reflective than some other metals, which can cause problems during cutting.
• Stainless Steel: Cutting speeds for stainless steel will also vary depending on the thickness of the material. For a 5mm thick stainless steel plate, its cutting speed can reach 10-18 m/min. And for a 10mm thick stainless steel plate, its cutting speed is only 3.0-7.0 m/min. In addition, the grade and surface treatment of stainless steel will also affect the cutting speed.
• Copper and Brass: Copper and brass are highly reflective and thermally conductive materials, which makes cutting with a fiber laser cutting machine challenging. It can cut 5mm thick copper and brass plates at a speed of 13 m/min, while the cutting speed is only 4 m/min when cutting 10 mm thick brass plates.
• Titanium: It can cut titanium plates with a thickness of 5mm at a cutting speed of up to 10 m/min. For titanium plates up to 10 mm thick or thicker, the cutting speed may be reduced to around 3.5 m/min.

It is important to note that cutting speeds may vary depending on the specific machine, the type of material being cut, and the cutting parameters used. Also, faster cutting speeds may result in lower cut quality and accuracy, so the optimal cutting speed may depend on the specific application and requirements. Cutting parameters can be adjusted to optimize cutting speed and efficiency for specific materials and thicknesses.
