With the pursuit of efficiency and technology in the whole processing and manufacturing industry, domestic laser cutting technology has made breakthroughs. Laser cutting machine with 10,000 watt power is warmly pursued by the whole industry with its unique advantages such as high power, high efficiency and high stability. At present, the era of 10,000 watt power laser cutting machine has come, with 10000 watts, leading the future.

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

At present, the most popular power in the market is 10000 W, and the most popular among 10000 W is the 12KW laser cutting machine. With its excellent performance and price advantages, it occupies a large market share. At the same time, with the significant advantages of the 10000 W series, the market has begun to develop towards higher power, starting from 12KW to 20kW or even 30kW, trying to achieve more possibilities, With its unique advantages, higher power equipment is also blowing a whirlwind in the market. We can't help thinking: is the higher the power, the better? Which power has the highest cost performance ratio? Which is more suitable? In fact, for different users, because each company has different processing materials, different product requirements, and different production needs, it is most important to choose what is suitable for itself, not the higher the better. Then how to choose the most suitable power? Next, we will focus on comparing the cutting efficiency of 12KW and 20kW. I hope it will be helpful to your choice.

12KW and 20KW, cutting performance comparison

When purchasing optical fiber laser cutting machine, it is necessary to consider whether the power of the equipment can meet the cutting demand. 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 plate, brass, etc. the higher the power of the equipment, the thicker the cutting thickness, and the faster the cutting speed.

Under the auxiliary oxygen condition, when cutting 30mm and 40mm carbon steel, the advantages of 20kW laser cutting machine are very obvious, and the cutting efficiency is about 1.5 times and 2 times higher than that of 12KW. Under the auxiliary air condition, when cutting 10mm carbon steel, the laser cutting efficiency of 20kW is twice that of 12KW. 12KW cannot directly cut 20mm carbon steel. According to market inspection, cutting 20mm carbon steel saves time and labor cost, and the gas cost air cutting saves about 5 yuan / hour compared with oxygen cutting. When cutting stainless steel, whether it is auxiliary air or nitrogen, the overall advantage of 20kW laser cutting machine is very obvious. The cutting efficiency is greatly improved compared with 12KW, and the efficiency of cutting 10mm-40mm stainless steel is more than twice. The 20kW cutting machine is relatively superior to the 12KW cutting machine in terms of material, cutting thickness and speed. The majority of users can choose their own cutting machine according to the thickness and material of the processed plate. The two cutting machines are currently mainstream metal processing products in the market.

Application of laser cutting machine in main industries

At present, the laser cutting machine is mainly used in sheet metal processing, hardware products, kitchenware, machinery manufacturing, aerospace, auto parts manufacturing, communication equipment, steel structure and other related manufacturing and processing industries, to meet the different needs of different users for fiber laser cutting machine. Different industries, different products and different processing requirements have different requirements for power.

According to market research, small fiber laser cutting machine is mainly used in hardware, kitchen, bathroom and kitchenware 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 machine is mainly used in aerospace, rail transit, auto parts manufacturing, communication equipment, high-end mechanical equipment manufacturing and other industries; In general, the choice of high-power fiber laser cutting machine depends on the cutting needs of customers.

Through the above comparison, we have a deep understanding of the 12KW and 20kW laser cutting machine products. In fact, no matter how much power, the suitable one is the best. When purchasing the fiber laser cutting machine, you can compare and choose from the processing details, thickness, speed, price and other aspects, match the corresponding power according to the material to be processed, and don't forget to check whether the price meets your budget.
