Application range
Cutting machines are used in metal and non-metal industries. Generally speaking, non-metal industries are more detailed, such as stone cutting machines for cutting stones, quartz stone machines, sawtooth cutting machines, cutting cloth and plastic, and laser cutting for chemical fiber products Machine, blade cutting machine, cutting metal materials are flame cutting machine, plasma cutting machine, flame cutting machine is divided into numerical control cutting machine, and manual two categories, manual categories are, small sports cars, semi-automatic, pure manual , CNC has, gantry CNC cutting machine, cantilever CNC cutting machine, desktop CNC cutting machine, intersecting line CNC cutting machine and so on.
cost
Laser cutting machine is the most expensive, and it is also a kind of high-tech cutting equipment with the highest accuracy and efficiency. Water jet cutting machine is next, flame cutting machine is relatively low again, and plasma cutting machine has the lowest cost (per piece).
Way comparison
Plasma
Cutting quality: excellent inclination angle, small area affected by heat, almost no slag, good to excellent fine cutting effect;
Production capacity: It is extremely fast when cutting metal materials of various thicknesses and extremely fast perforation;
Operating cost: long service life of wearing parts, good production efficiency, excellent cutting quality, resulting in lower cost per operation than other technologies;
Maintenance methods: Many components are usually properly maintained by the in-plant maintenance team.
laser
Cutting quality: excellent inclination angle, small area affected by heat, almost no slag, good to excellent fine cutting effect under the narrowest bending conditions;
Production capacity: The cutting torch can be quickly disengaged to improve production efficiency. The cutting speed of metal materials with a thickness of less than 6mm is extremely fast. The thicker the metal, the slower the speed, the thicker the metal, and the longer the perforation time. Generally, laser cutting is applied to non-metal cutting metals.

Operating cost: Due to the high power and gas consumption, high maintenance costs and relatively low cutting speed when cutting thick materials, the cost of a single operation is high;
Maintenance method: professional technicians are required to complete complex maintenance work.
