At present, laser cutting technology has matured, and according to market demand, technical means are constantly improving. In a few years, the power has grown from the initial 100W to the current 20,000W, and even the highest power has reached 40,000W, and the thickness of the cutting plate also increases with the increase of the power. The cutting thickness of the metal plate has gradually increased from the initial 1mm to the current 40mm, and even a 100mm metal plate can be cut slowly. So will the emergence of high-power laser cutting machines eliminate all low-power laser cutting machines?
The answer is no. In the current laser cutting machine application industry, low-power cutting equipment still has a large market. It can be said with certainty that low-power laser cutting equipment accounts for the largest proportion in the entire industry. Because of the budget, not all manufacturers can purchase high-power laser equipment unconditionally. Even in some industries, high-power laser cutting equipment is not practical for the processing and production of workpieces, and low-power laser cutting equipment can completely handle it. Let’s take a look at these industries.
1. Advertising industry
The advertising industry is one of the earliest industries to use laser cutting machines. Even now, the industry’s demand for low-power laser cutting machines is still very strong, and there is basically no demand for high-power laser cutting machines, because the thickness of common billboards and decorative signs is not too thick, generally 1000W-3000W Power can meet the demand, so low-power laser cutting equipment is the best demand for manufacturers in this industry.
2. Kitchen and bathroom industry
Kitchen and bathroom products are basically a must for every household. In the production process of kitchen and bathroom products, low-power laser cutting equipment has a wide range of applications. Most kitchen and bathroom products are made of metal. Relatively speaking, the thickness of these products is still not very high, and the low-power ones can fully meet the production needs.
Of course, the application of low-power laser cutting machines is not limited to the above two industries, but also widely used in other industries.
3. Sheet metal processing industry
Sheet metal processing is widely used and closely related to many industries. Sheet metal processing is involved in almost all manufacturing industries, such as: electric power industry, machine tool industry, food machinery, textile, electrical appliances, instruments, equipment, electricity, network, sanitation, cabinet, office and so on. Therefore, not only a high-power cutting machine is required, but also a low-power laser cutting machine is required.
