The cutting speed of a 6000w laser cutting machine varies based on factors such as material type, thickness, laser settings, and assist gas used. Below are the general cutting speeds for common materials:

1. Carbon Steel:

• 1-5 mm thickness: 10-80 meters per minute (m/min)
• 6-12 mm thickness: 1.2-9 m/min
• 13-25 mm thickness: 0.5-2 m/min
• Explanation: Carbon steel is typically cut at high speeds, with the machine handling thicker sheets at slower speeds to ensure clean edges.

2. Stainless Steel:

• 1-3 mm thickness: 25-80 m/min
• 4-6 mm thickness: 7-18 m/min
• 7-12 mm thickness: 1.2-4.5 m/min
• Explanation: Stainless steel tends to cut slower than carbon steel due to its higher hardness, requiring slower speeds for better precision and edge quality.

3. Aluminum Alloy:

• 1-3 mm thickness: 20-80 m/min
• 4-6 mm thickness: 4.5-15 m/min
• Explanation: Aluminum’s high reflectivity can reduce cutting speeds compared to carbon steel, but the 6000w laser compensates for this with fast processing.

4. Brass and Copper:

• Up to 6 mm thickness: 2-40 m/min
• Explanation: Brass and copper are highly reflective metals, so they generally cut slower than others, especially when dealing with thicker materials.

These speeds are estimates and can vary based on factors such as the specific machine configuration, material quality, and cutting parameters. For optimal results, testing with sample materials is recommended.

The power consumption of a 6000w laser cutting machine can be broken down based on its key components. Here’s an overview of the estimated power usage:

• Laser Generator: Although the machine is rated for 6000w cutting power, the laser generator itself requires more power to produce the necessary output. The laser generator typically consumes around 18,000W.
• Chiller: The chiller is responsible for cooling the laser source and other components, and it usually consumes between 7,500W and 8,000W, depending on the cooling needs and system configuration.
• Driver Power: The driver system controls the movement of the machine’s axes (X, Y, Z) and consumes around 4,600W to 5,000W, depending on the complexity and size of the machine.
• Air Compressor: The air compressor supplies the necessary compressed air or assist gas for the cutting process, consuming around 3,000W.
• Total Power Consumption: When adding up the power consumption of all the components, the total estimated power consumption of a 6000w laser cutting machine is approximately 33,100W to 34,000W (33-34 kW).

This means the machine typically consumes between 33 kW and 34 kW of electricity during operation, depending on the system configuration and operational conditions. This breakdown helps in understanding the energy requirements for operating the machine and ensures that your facility has the necessary power supply for smooth operation.

The 6000w laser cutting machine uses different auxiliary gases to enhance the cutting process, improve cut quality, and optimize cutting speeds. The type of gas chosen depends on the material being cut and the desired result. Here are the most commonly used auxiliary gases:

1. Oxygen (O2)

• Primary Use: Oxygen is commonly used for cutting carbon steel and other ferrous materials.
• Benefits: It accelerates the cutting process by chemically reacting with the material, producing a faster cutting speed and cleaner edges. Oxygen also helps in exhausting debris from the cut zone.
• Ideal For: Carbon steel, mild steel, and thicker materials where a high-speed cut is essential.

2. Nitrogen (N2)

• Primary Use: Nitrogen is often used for cutting stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and copper.
• Benefits: Nitrogen does not react chemically with the material, providing a cleaner cut without oxidation, which is important for stainless steel and aluminum, where surface finish and material integrity are critical. It also reduces the chances of burning the edges.
• Ideal For: Stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, and other non-ferrous materials, where a high-quality surface finish is required.

3. Air

• Primary Use: Compressed air can be used for cutting mild steel and other materials when high cutting speeds are needed.
• Benefits: Air is cost-effective and provides adequate cutting performance for thinner materials. It is also readily available, making it an affordable option for low-cost operations.
• Ideal For: Thin sheets of mild steel or less demanding cutting applications.

4. Argon (Ar)

• Primary Use: Argon is primarily used for cutting aluminum and non-ferrous materials that require a clean, burr-free edge.
• Benefits: Argon helps maintain a stable cutting process by preventing oxidation and ensuring consistent edge quality. It’s commonly used when higher precision is needed for metals like aluminum.
• Ideal For: Aluminum and non-ferrous metals where oxidation and burr-free edges are critical.

5. Helium (He)

• Primary Use: Helium is sometimes used for cutting aluminum and copper.
• Benefits: It has a higher thermal conductivity than nitrogen, helping in faster cutting speeds and better heat dissipation. Helium also improves the cutting quality by reducing heat-affected zones and promoting cleaner cuts.
• Ideal For: Materials like aluminum, copper, and brass, where high speed and precision are required.

Each gas plays a specific role in optimizing the cutting process, and choosing the right one depends on the material being cut and the desired outcome.
