CO₂ Laser Cutting Machine

When selecting a CO₂ laser cutting machine, several technical aspects must be considered to optimize performance and achieve maximum productivity. Here are the key characteristics to evaluate when choosing the machine best suited for your requirements:

■ Power Range Selection. This determines the machine’s cutting capabilities. For example, the entry-level 150-300W series handles non-metallic materials up to 25mm thick, while the industrial 1-2KW systems can process metal sheets up to 20mm. Consider your material types and thicknesses to select appropriate laser power.

■ Control System Options. Haitong offers multiple control platforms including RuiDa for precision non-metal processing, Cypcut for die-making applications, and WEIHONG for industrial metal cutting. Choose based on operator familiarity and specific application requirements.

■ Working Area Requirements. Working areas range from 1300x900mm for compact systems to 1500x3000mm for industrial platforms. The HT-1530CF offers 1515x3030mm capacity, while the HT-LC1500 provides 1300x2500mm. Match these dimensions to your typical material sizes.

■ Cutting Head Configuration. Different applications require specific cutting head designs. Fixed heads ensure vertical cutting for die-making, while intelligent focusing heads with auto-focus capability suit metal cutting. Consider features like cooling systems and focusing methods.

■ Precision Specifications. Various models offer different accuracy levels. The 150-300W series achieves ±0.01mm mechanical accuracy, while industrial models maintain ±0.03mm positioning accuracy. Match these specifications to your tolerance requirements.

■ Machine Construction. Evaluate structural features based on your applications. Aviation aluminum beams provide high rigidity and speed for metal cutting, while thick-walled carbon steel beds ensure stability for heavy-duty work.

■ Additional Features:

• Auto-feeding systems for continuous operation
• Interchangeable working platforms (blade/honeycomb)
• Multiple file format compatibility (AI, DXF, PLT, etc.)
• Cooling systems for extended operation
• Gas supply systems for different materials

These factors should guide your selection process, but remember that each cutting application is unique and may require specific solutions. Haitong’s technical team can assist in determining the optimal configuration for your specific cutting needs.
