Why Use Laser For Brass Cutting?

Laser cutting is often the preferred method for cutting brass due to its precision, speed, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Compared to other cutting methodslike plasma cutting, flame cutting,laser cutting offers the following advantages:

Precision: Laser cutting is highly precise and the cutting slitis narrow.It can produce intricate and complex cuts with minimal material waste. Moreover, since brass is reflective,theuse of fber lasers with shorter wavelengths allows for lower refectivity and even more precise cutting.

Broader Applicability: Laser cutting can handle both thin brass sheets and thick sheets.Especially,it cancut through thinner materialsthan some other methods, such as plasma cutting, which may be better suited for thicker materials, and may not be as effective for cutting thinner brass sheets or components.

Clean Cuts: Laser cutting produces a clean, smooth edge with minimal burring, which can minimize the need for additional finishing or polishing. And it produces a smaller heat affected zone that helps to minimize distortion and preserve material properties near the cut.

Speed: Lasers can cut through brass quickly, which makes the proces faster than other methods.

Cost-effective: Laser cutting equipment may be expensive than other cutting methods. However,the process can be cost-effective inthelong run due to its speed, precision, and minimal material waste.

Which Laser Should I Choose For Cutting Brass?

co2 lasers and fiber lasers are two common types of laser cutting machines. Compare to fiber laser, co2 is cheaper and can cut more materials, even non-metals. Are you quite excited about this? However,it is often not the best choice for cutting brass. Because itis difficult to be absorbed by brass and reflects too much, making cutting less eficient and can even damage the machine.

Therefore, by comparison, I would recommend the fiber laser more.It has a shorter wavelength and greater energy output to heat and melt the brass fast.At this molten state, the reflection of the brass willgo down a lot, making it easier to cut through and makes smooth edges.

If you are looking for a perfect laser cutting solution to make fast,accurate and beautiful brass cuts, the fiber laser cutter is your ideal choice.

Choose Your Right Brass Laser Cutting Machine

To choose a suitable brass laser cutting machine, you need to consider the following factors:

Laser Power (Material Requirements)

Consider the thicknesses of brass materialsyou willbe cutting, and choose a machine with enough laser power to handle them. Here is the cutting capacity of our bras laser cutters,you can choose the corresponding laser power according to the cutting thickness range of brass in the form.

Bed Size (Material Size)

Consider the size of the brass materials you will be cutting and choose a machine with a bed size that can accommodate them. To meet the cutting needs of different material sizes of different customers, we offer brass laser cutting machines in various sizes, with the processing format of up to 13000 x 3000mm (42.65 x 9.84 ft).

Cutting Speed (Production Volume)

Consider the amount of brass cutting you will be doing on a regular basis, choose a laser cutting machine with a suitable cutting speed to accommodate your production volume.
Our laser cutting machines can cut brass at speeds of up to 60m/min. This means they can quickly and efficiently process large quantities of brass sheets, saving time and increasing productivity.

Cutting Precision

The precision of the laser cutting machine is critical for creating high-quality cuts. Therefore, it is important to choose a machine with high accuracy and repeatability.

Our laser cutting machine adopts the most advanced fiber laser cutting technology, resulting in a small, precise laser beam that cuts brass with accuracy and small error, less than 0.01mm. With this technology, consistent, repeatable, and high quality results are guaranteed.

Cost & Budget

When shopping for a brass laser cutting machine, there is a wide range of prices available. To make the right choice, think about the features and capabilities you need and compare them with your budget. Although it might be tempting to opt for the cheapest option, it is essential to also consider long-term cost-effectiveness.

Service & Support

Reliable service and support are crucial to the long-term success of a laser cutting machine. Choose a machine from a supplier with a good reputation for customer service and technical support, and make sure they provide adequate training and after-sales support.

Future Expansion

Consider any potential future expansion or growth of your business, and choose a laser cuttng machine that can be upgraded or expanded if necessary.

By carefully considering these factorsand doing thorough research, youcanselect the best brasslaser cutter for your specific needs.
