Precision Metal Laser Cutting Machine for Copper & Other Metals

A metal laser cutting machine for copper is specialized to handle the unique challenges of cutting copper sheets and components. Copper's high thermal conductivity and reflectivity make it a difficult material to cut, requiring a machine with a high-power laser source, typically a fiber laser with wavelengths optimized for copper absorption, and power outputs from 3kW to 10kW. The machine uses an assist gas, such as nitrogen or argon, to expel molten copper and prevent oxidation, ensuring clean cuts. Advanced optical systems and beam delivery mechanisms are employed to focus the laser beam effectively through copper's reflective surface. The CNC control system allows precise programming of cutting paths and adjustment of parameters like laser power and speed to achieve optimal results. This machine is used in industries like electronics, electrical, and plumbing, where copper's excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance make it a preferred material. Its ability to cut copper with high precision supports the production of high-quality copper components for various applications.
