What are the disadvantages of CNC laser cutting machine?

We always strive to make our products better at ZYCO and do everything even faster. One of the most important tools that we have are our CNC laser cutting machines. It assists us in making precise cuts on materials. There is a lot of great information in that book to create quality products… and there are things we can alter from experience cause us some pain.

When CNC Laser Cutting Machines Are Inconveniencing

This type of CNC laser cutting machine may not be perfectly suited to some materials. The laser cutting may not work if the metal being used is very thick, for instance. A laser beam of this power may not be strong enough to penetrate the thicker sections and get the job done. Likewise, highly reflective specular materials in real life would also generate severe artifacts with this algorithm (e. g., shiny metals). If the reflective materials are also shiny, they would be reflect in lieu of letting the laser beam to cut through. Thus losing us the ability to cut with one method, and forcing us either into another process of cutting or even compelled using other machine in order for our work is performed as needed. It can be annoying having to cancel our plans, but we always make a plan B happen.

Drawbacks of CNC Laser Cutter

The other problem with CNC laser cutting machines is that they are very expensive to buy and maintain. The hydraulic machines are not cheap, and nor is their maintenance over the years. We also need to have them professionally maintained from time to time so they work efficiently. And the software that makes these machines run can be intricate as well. There has to be a training, which will make you understand; how? Therefore, we are required to spend both time and money training our workers of how they can operate the machines correctly. We need people with skills for these machines.

When to Choose CNC Laser Cutting?

Despite the few issues involved while using CNC laser cutting machine as they say, more often than not the good thing outweighs bad. That is why laser cutting, for example, can be so precise and produce high-quality results with impressive finishes. This precision is what allow us to make such awesome looking and performing products. It can also be faster than other types of cutting, which saves money in the long run. By speeding up the process we can make more in a shorter time period which is great for business and our customers.

Problems in the application of CNC laser cutting machines

An obstacle we have confronted with using CNC laser cutting machines is ensuring that the room has adequate space and resources to make use of them properly. These machines can be large and require a ton of juice along with some sweet oxygen in order to operate safely. They are generating heat while running, hence ventilation is a must. There were few changes we had to make in our workspace according the machines and use it at its best. The machine moves other things so we can be more productive, which sometimes means moving stuff around or even redesigning our lab.

All in all, while CNC laser cutting machines have a few negative aspects the pros we believe outweigh them. With some considerations around our materials and ensuring a robust base in education and tools, we are able to leverage these machines for fast high quality product creation. This is why at ZYCO we want to make the most of what technology can offer while ensuring that our customers have a better service and product each time. We know that as long with each challenge, we get better and so do our processes.
