Mild steel is a mild steel widely used in industry and construction, it has good cold formability and weldability, but also has the disadvantages of low strength, low hardness and easy to rust. Cutting is an important part of mild steel processing, which directly affects the shape, size, quality and service life of mild steel. Fiber laser cutting machine as a professional metal cutting equipment, the use of high-quality laser beam can be melted or vaporized cutting of mild steel, to achieve high-speed, high-precision, high-quality cutting of mild steel.
Before choosing the right mild steel laser cutting machine for you, please read this article to help you choose the most suitable one.
Two types of fiber laser cutting machines for mild steel cutting
First, let’s introduce two types of fiber laser cutting machines suitable for cutting mild steel.
FP series is a high-performance fiber laser cutting machine for cutting mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, and other materials. It adopts advanced fiber laser technology with high speed, high precision, and high efficiency. In addition, the FP series has the advantages of stable performance and long life to meet various cutting needs.
Another option worth considering is the FPT is an all-in-one cutting machine that can cut not only mild steel plates but also mild steel tubes. It features high energy density, a small heat-affected zone, and high cutting speeds for precise cutting results. The FPT series laser cutting machine also has the advantages of low energy consumption and environmental protection, which is ideal for projects that require high cutting quality and efficiency.
Fiber Laser Cutting Machine VS Conventional Laser Cutting Machine
Next, let’s compare fiber laser cutting machines with traditional mild steel cutting machines.
| Fiber laser cutting machine (1000w) | Traditional mild steel cutting machine (1000w) | |
| Cutting speed | 140m/min | 24m/min |
| Cutting accuracy | ±0.02mm | ±0.05mm |
| Operational flexibility | High | Low |
| Material Waste | 5% | 25% |
| Maintenance cost | Low | High |
From the above table, it can be seen that fiber laser cutting machine has obvious advantages in cutting speed, accuracy, operation flexibility, and material waste rate. Traditional cutting methods such as flame cutting, plasma cutting, waterjet cutting, etc., although can meet certain cutting needs, there are cutting speed is slow, low cutting accuracy, cutting surface roughness, large heat-affected zone, deformation, high energy consumption, and other shortcomings, can not be adapted to the requirements of high efficiency, high quality, high precision cutting of mild steel. So the best tool for cutting mild steel is the fiber laser cutting machines.
How to choose a mild steel laser cutting machine
For how to choose a mild steel laser cutting machine, the following points are for your reference:
1. Cutting requirements: According to your cutting needs, determine the required cutting thickness and cutting speed. Different laser cutting machines have different power and speed, so choose the right machine for your project.
2. Quality and performance: pay attention to choosing a machine with good quality and performance, which can ensure cutting quality and work efficiency. You should choose a reliable brand and experienced manufacturer.
3. Price: Determine the right price range according to your budget. The price of fiber laser cutting machines varies by brand, model, and configuration.
