The cutting speed of a 30KW laser cutting machine is influenced by factors such as material type, thickness, cutting parameters, and assist gas used. Below is a general guideline for cutting speeds across different materials:

1. Carbon Steel:

• 1-5 mm thickness: 23-60 meters per minute (m/min)
• 6-20 mm thickness: 3.5-21 m/min
• 21-70 mm thickness: 0.1-2.4 m/min
• Explanation: The cutting speed increases with thinner materials, but thicker sheets require slower speeds to maintain precision and quality cuts.

2. Stainless Steel:

• 1-3 mm thickness: 30-60 m/min
• 4-12 mm thickness: 9-32 m/min
• 13-70 mm thickness: 0.13-9.5 m/min
• Explanation: Stainless steel, due to its higher hardness and density, requires slower cutting speeds compared to carbon steel. However, the 30KW laser cutting machine offers faster speeds at thinner material thicknesses.

3. Aluminum Alloy:

• 1-3 mm thickness: 32-60 m/min
• 4-15 mm thickness: 6-50 m/min
• 16-60 mm thickness: 0.15-4 m/min
• Explanation: Aluminum is highly reflective, so faster speeds are possible at thinner thicknesses, but cutting speeds decrease with thicker materials to ensure high-quality cuts and prevent distortion.

4. Brass & Copper:

• 1-4 mm thickness: 20-50 m/min
• 5-14 mm thickness: 2.5-20 m/min
• Explanation: Brass and copper are highly reflective metals, requiring slower cutting speeds than carbon steel. The 30KW machine can still cut these materials effectively, but speeds are optimized for clean, high-quality cuts.

The 30KW laser cutting machine offers fast and efficient cutting across a wide range of materials, with cutting speeds varying by material thickness and type. The machine’s high power enables it to handle thicker materials at a faster rate, providing productivity and precision for demanding applications.

The power consumption of a 30KW laser-cutting machine can be broken down based on its key components. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the estimated power usage:

• Laser Generator: Although the machine is rated for 30KW cutting power, the laser generator itself consumes significantly more electricity to produce the required laser output. A typical fiber laser generator for a 30KW laser cutting machine consumes around 90,000W to achieve the necessary power for cutting.
• Chiller: The chiller is responsible for cooling the laser source and other components. It helps maintain the optimal temperature for efficient operation and cutting. Depending on the cooling needs, the chiller typically consumes between 26,000W and 28,000W.
• Driver Power: The driver system powers the movement of the machine’s axes (X, Y, Z). This system controls the motion and precision of the laser head. The driver typically consumes 9,000W to 10,000W based on the machine’s size and complexity.
• Air Compressor: The air compressor provides the necessary compressed air or assist gas to blow away molten material during the cutting process. It consumes around 5,500W.
• Total Power Consumption: When you add up the power consumption of all components, the total estimated power consumption of a 30KW laser cutting machine is approximately 130,500W to 133,500W.

This means the machine typically consumes between 130.5 kW and 133.5 kW of electricity during operation, which is higher than its nominal cutting power due to the additional systems for cooling, movement, and air compression. This breakdown will help you understand the energy requirements for operating the machine and ensure your facility is prepared with the necessary power supply.

These customizations allow the 30KW laser cutting machine to be more adaptable to unique manufacturing environments, improving productivity and cutting precision for specific applications.

For a 30KW laser cutting machine, various auxiliary gases can be used depending on the material being cut, the desired cutting speed, and the required edge quality. The right gas not only affects cutting efficiency but also influences the overall quality of the cut and the production cost. Below are the commonly used auxiliary gases for a 30KW laser cutting machine:

1. Oxygen (O2)

• Primary Use: Cutting carbon steel, mild steel, and other ferrous metals.
• Benefits: Oxygen accelerates the cutting process due to its exothermic reaction with the material, making it ideal for faster cutting speeds, especially with thicker materials. However, oxygen can lead to oxidation on the cut edges, leaving rougher surfaces.
• Advantages: Faster cutting speeds, cost-effective for thicker steel materials, and increased heat generation for quicker cuts.

2. Nitrogen (N2)

• Primary Use: Cutting stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and copper.
• Benefits: Nitrogen produces clean, oxide-free cuts, making it ideal for materials that require a smooth, high-quality finish. It also minimizes the heat-affected zone (HAZ), reducing potential warping or distortion. It is commonly used for thinner materials but can also handle thicker cuts at slower speeds.
• Advantages: Clean cuts with no oxidation, ideal for non-ferrous metals, and better surface quality for high-precision parts.

3. Compressed Air

• Primary Use: Cutting mild steel and aluminum.
• Benefits: Compressed air is a cost-effective solution for laser cutting, offering decent cutting speeds for thinner sheets and less critical applications. It’s particularly useful for general-purpose cutting where high-quality edge finish is not as critical.
• Advantages: Low operational cost, efficient for thinner metals, and provides good results for non-critical applications.

4. Argon (Ar)

• Primary Use: Cutting non-ferrous metals like aluminum, brass, and copper.
• Benefits: Argon is an inert gas that helps to prevent oxidation, ensuring smooth and clean edges. It is particularly useful for cutting metals like aluminum and copper, where oxidation can degrade the quality of the cut. Argon also minimizes heat buildup.
• Advantages: Excellent for non-ferrous materials, reduces oxidation, and improves the overall cut quality.

The choice of auxiliary gas for a 30KW laser cutting machine depends on factors such as the material type, thickness, and desired cut quality. Oxygen is typically used for faster cutting of carbon steel, while nitrogen and argon are preferred for clean, oxidation-free cuts on stainless steel and non-ferrous metals. Compressed air offers a low-cost alternative for general-purpose cutting, and gas mixtures provide flexibility for customized cutting needs. Selecting the right gas for each application ensures optimal cutting efficiency and quality.
