2024-07-17
Today，we will detail the process of adjusting the parameters on a 30,000W laser cutting machine to successfully cut a 55mm thick aluminum plate.
Nozzle Selection
First, we need to choose the appropriate nozzle. For cutting such thick aluminum plates, it is recommended to use the largest diameter nozzles, such as 5.0, 7.0, or 10.0.
Cutting Speed
Given the thickness of the aluminum plate, the cutting speed will be relatively slow. We suggest setting the speed to 0.3.
Cutting Height
The cutting height range should be set between 0.3 and 0.5. We recommend setting the cutting height to 0.3.
Air Pressure Setting
For a 10.0 nozzle, the air pressure is typically set around 5 to 6. We recommend setting the air pressure to 5.
Laser Power
The laser power should be set to full power. However, when cutting aluminum, special attentionmust be paid to the frequency and duty cycle.
Frequency
For cutting such thick aluminum plates, the frequency should be set between 200 and 500. We suggest setting the frequency to 200 for a 55mm thick plate.
Duty Cycle
To ensure the quality of the cut surface and reduce burrs, the duty cycle should be set between 38 and 48. We recommend setting the duty cycle to 40.
Focus Adjustment
The focus should be set to a negative value. Based on our experience, we recommend setting the focus to -25.
Piercing and Lead-In Process
During the piercing process, some slag may be produced. In such cases, the lead-in process can be used by activating the lead-in descent cutting parameters.
① Cutting Speed: Set to 0.1.
② Duty Cycle: Same as the cutting parameters, set to 40.
③ Frequency: Same as the cutting parameters, set to 200.
④ Stabilization Distance: Set to 0.
⑤ Lead-In Height: Set between 5 and 10, we recommend setting it to 8.
After setting these parameters, click confirm to start cutting the 55mm thick aluminum plate.
By following these detailed parameter adjustments, you can ensure high-quality cuts when using a 30,000W laser cuttig machine for thick aluminum plates. If you have any questions or need further technical support, please do not hesitate to contact us.
