What is the difference between plasma cutter and laser cutter and who has better results

1. Compared with plasma cutting, laser cutting is much more precise, the heat-affected zone is much smaller, and the cutting gap is much smaller.

2. If you want precision cutting, small seams, small heat-affected zone, and small plate deformation, it is recommended to choose a laser cutting machine.

3. Plasma cutting is to use compressed air as the working gas, with high-temperature and high-speed plasma arc as the heat source, to partially melt the cut metal, and at the same time use high-speed air flow to blow away the molten metal to form cutting.

4. The heat-affected zone of plasma cutting is relatively large, and the cutting gap is relatively wide, which is not suitable for cutting thin plates, because the plates will be deformed due to heat.

5. Laser cutting machine** is a little more expensive than plasma cutting machine.

7. Laser-like plasma is actually air plasma cutting, which is a name for wanting to be stained with laser.

8. "Laser-like" means that the cutting effect of his plasma can be compared with that of laser.

If you choose plasma, there are many domestic brands. Speaking of laser cutting machines alone, our company produces. There are 2 kilowatts, 4 kilowatts, and 6 kilowatts.

All of them are high-tech in Nissan Tanaka, Japan, and the thickest can be cut to 32mm. At present, only my Tanaka and Koike sawy cutting machines can achieve this ability. If you are interested, you can collect it!

First, the working principle is different.

1. Flame cutting machine: It is a kind of cutting equipment that uses gas oxygen distribution or gasoline oxygen distribution to cut limb hail plexus of metal materials.

2. Plasma cutting machine: Plasma cutting is a processing method that uses the heat of the high-temperature plasma arc to melt (and evaporate) the metal part or part of the workpiece incision, and excludes the molten metal to form a notch by the momentum of high-speed plasma.

Second, the application is different and arbitrary.

1. Flame cutting machine: The flame cutting machine has a small production investment and large processing thickness, which is suitable for rough processing industries with low precision requirements.

2. Plasma cutting machine: Plasma cutting machine is widely used in automobiles, locomotives, pressure vessels, chemical machinery, Liying nuclear industry, general machinery, engineering machinery, steel structure and other industries.

Third, the characteristics are different.

1. Flame cutting machine: it can cut large-thickness plates (China has mastered the flame cutting technology of cutting 2000mm thickness), the cutting equipment and cutting cost are relatively low, and the pollution is smaller than that of plasma cutting machine.

2. Plasma cutting machine: automatic and semi-automatic cutting dual mode selection; Digitally precise control of the cutting length; Easy to operate.

Encyclopedia - Flame cutting machine.

Flame cutting machine and plasma cutting machine are common metal cutting equipment, and it has the following main differences:

To sum up, for different cutting needs and metal materials, you can choose a flame cutting machine or plasma cutting machine according to the actual situation. Flame cutters are suitable for cutting thicker ferrous metals, while plasma cutters are better suited for a wide range of metal cutting applications.

Flame cutting machine and plasma cutting machine are common metal processing equipment, and they have some differences in cutting principles and application ranges.

The flame cutting machine uses the combustion of oxygen and gas (usually acetylene or propane) to produce a high-temperature flame, heats the metal material to a molten or burning state through the heat of the flame, and then uses oxygen to oxidize and blow off the heated metal to realize the cutting of metal materials. The flame cutting machine is simple to operate, the cost is lower than that of this world, and it is suitable for cutting thicker mild steel materials, but the cutting effect of stainless steel, aluminum alloy and other cracked materials is poor.

The plasma cutting machine uses the plasma arc generated by high-frequency AC power to heat the metal material to a melting or burning state through the high temperature of the arc, and then uses oxygen to oxidize and blow the heated metal off to realize the cutting of the metal material. The plasma cutting machine is relatively complex to operate, but it has a higher cutting speed and better cutting quality, and is suitable for cutting difficult materials such as stainless steel and aluminum alloy.

To sum up, the flame cutting machine is mainly suitable for cutting low carbon steel materials with large thickness, while the plasma cutting machine is suitable for cutting various metal materials, especially difficult materials such as stainless steel and aluminum alloy. The choice of which cutting machine to use is based on the specific material and requirements to be cut.

If you are cutting thin plates, it is recommended to use a plasma cutting machine, and if you are cutting thick plates, use a flame cutting machine.

The cost of plasma cutting machine is comparable to that of flame, but because of its high efficiency, high quality and considerable economic benefits, although the last plasma cutting machine has a large investment, it is still the best choice, and it is recommended that factory leaders create conditions to purchase CNC plasma cutting machines.

A flame and a plasma lance can be configured to prepare for future production increases.

Summary. Hello dear, speed is the most critical, plasma cutting speed is much higher than flame (gas cutting). The second is the material, flame (gas cutting) can not cut stainless steel, copper, aluminum and other materials, plasma can be cut, and then the quality of the cutting surface plasma is better than the flame and the plasma is more convenient to use.

3. What are the advantages of plasma cutting machine compared with gas cutting?

Speed is the most critical, plasma cutting speed is much higher than flame (gas cutting). The second is the material, flame (gas cutting) can not cut stainless steel, copper, aluminum and other materials, plasma can be cut, and then the quality of the cutting surface plasma is better than the flame and plasma is more convenient to use.

What are the advantages of artificial plasma cutting versus flame plasma cutting.

Artificial plasma cutting and flame cutting: a. Better plasma cutting quality: fast melting speed, concentrated hot zone, dust is not easy to cause workpiece deformation; The cutting surface is smooth and clean, and the slag hanging is less, which significantly reduces the workload of secondary processing; When cutting workpieces with a plate thickness of less than 40 mm, there are obvious advantages in terms of quality and speed.

c. Higher production efficiency: Greatly shorten the time of perforation. Using a plasma cutting machine, there is no need to preheat the workpiece, and it can be processed directly.

When cutting materials with a thickness of less than 40mm, plasma cutting has a distinct speed advantage. Especially when cutting 20mm workpieces, the speed of the plasma cutter of 200A can reach 6 8 times that of flame cutting. b. Plasma has a wider cutting range

Plasma can cut carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper and other metals, and the flame is mainly used to cut carbon steel. d. The cutting speed, cutting speed, and comprehensive operating cost of the plasma cutting machine are much lower than that of flame cutting, especially when the thickness of the workpiece is less than 40mm.

Specific differences and respective advantages and disadvantages:

The plasma cutting surface is rough, cutting thick plates has advantages, and it is cheap, the laser cutting surface is smooth, the plasma is rough, and it is necessary to send someone to repair the burr. Laser cutting can cut heavy plates of more than 3mm, and plasma can cut heavy plates of more than 8mm. The laser cutting surface is smooth, the compensation is small, the accuracy is relatively high, and it is a little more expensive.

In terms of cost, plasma is about 1 3 cheaper than laser. The cutting surface of fine plasma is thinner than that of lasers, especially in Japanese equipment, and the disadvantage of plasma is that the slit is wide, about 3mm. The most important component of plasma is the power supply, which is equivalent to the laser of the laser cutting machine, the power consumption of plasma is quite clever, and the common spare parts electrode protection riser is also quite expensive, especially the electrode drilling is very costly.

In terms of processing accuracy, plasma cutting is rough processing and fine processing compared to laser cutting.

CNC plasma cutting machine is a new type of thermal cutting equipment, its working principle is to use the heat of the high-temperature plasma arc to make the metal at the incision of the workpiece locally melt, and use the momentum of high-speed plasma to remove the molten metal to form a processing method.

1. With the development of plasma cutting, the available working gas has a significant impact on the cutting characteristics of the plasma arc, as well as the cutting quality and speed. Commonly used plasma arc working gases are argon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, air, water vapor and some gas mixtures.

Plasma cutting machines are widely used in automobiles, locomotives, pressure vessels, chemical machinery, nuclear industry, general machinery, construction machinery, steel structures and other industries!

2. Laser cutting is to use a high power density laser beam to scan the surface of the material, heat the material to thousands to tens of thousands of degrees Celsius in a very short time, so that the material is melted or vaporized, and then the melted or gasified substance is blown away from the cutting gap with high-pressure gas to achieve the purpose of cutting the material. Laser cutting, because it replaces the traditional mechanical knife with an invisible beam, the mechanical part of the laser cutter head has no contact with the work, and will not cause scratches to the working surface during the work; The laser cutting speed is fast, the incision is smooth and flat, and there is generally no need for subsequent processing; The cutting heat-affected zone is small, the plate deformation is small, and the cutting gap is narrow (; There is no mechanical stress on the incision, no shear burrs; High processing accuracy, good repeatability, no damage to the surface of the material; CNC programming, can process any floor plan, can cut the whole board with a large format, no need to open the mold, economical and time-saving.

Summary: In terms of cutting accuracy, plasma can reach within 1mm, and laser can reach within 1mm; In terms of cost, plasma cutting machine is much cheaper than laser cutting machine, and plasma cutting is rough processing and fine processing compared to laser cutting in terms of processing accuracy!
