Requirements For Metal Laser Cutting Machine Working
1. pure water
There’s a very strict requirement for the cooling water. It is required to use pure water, deionized water or distilled water and other water quality. Do not use tap water, mineral water and other water containing higher metal ions or other minerals. These water quality have a great influence on the cooling effect of the metal laser cutting machine.
2. Temperature
In terms of temperature, the general requirement is to install the air conditioner, because the metal laser cutting machine body has a high heat dissipation during processing, especially the high-power metal laser cutting machine. In order to continue the processing process and keep the metal laser cutting machine working, it is necessary to stabilize the indoor temperature.
3. processing Environment
The metal laser cutting machine first has requirements on the processing area environment. Generally, the ground is required to be relatively flat. The metal laser cutting machine processes on a flat ground so that the sheet metal material can be placed on the laser cutting platform smoothly. The level of flatness directly affects the accuracy and speed of processing.
Last but no the least, no matter metal laser cutting machine or fiber laser cutting machine, excessive dust is not allowed in the working area. Excessive amount of dust will affect the operator's body and visual visibility, so it must be smoke-free and dust-free to avoid a serious dust and metal working environment.

Advantages & Disadvantages of Laser Cutting Process
Advantages
Laser cutting is quick in comparison to other traditional cutting techniques as most of the work is automated.
Holding the piece of metal is easier in laser cutting than in mechanical cutting.
The cuts obtained by laser are more precise than can be done by any other method of cutting metals. It’s for the very reason laser cutting is preferred in industries that require absolute exact size of metals as an outcome.
In the laser process, the metal doesn’t come in direct contact with other metals to facilitate the cut. Hence the metal is more finely cut without any contaminations.
In traditional processes where heat becomes the weapon to cut metals, the edge of the metal usually deforms to some extent but laser cutting gives you a fine edge metal cutting.
The versatility of the process lets you engrave delicate designs on different metals.
Laser cutting process requires less energy for cutting the metals than other traditional methods.
Disadvantages
Laser cutting demands high power consumption as compared to other techniques.
The laser beam is very delicate to handle. A slight mistake while adjusting the distance and temperature can lead to burning or discoloring of the metal.
The laser beam is harmful if it comes in contact with human workers. It can cause severe burns if it happens accidentally.
Laser cutting is still not capable of cutting thick metals.
The production is not consistent in laser cutting as the time for cutting various metals may vary.
It does not compliment all types of metals.
