How To Choose Laser Cutting Machine?

A laser cutter is a laser engraver and design tool that can cut a variety of materials, from leather to non-metals. You may find applications for CO2 laser machines in these industries, including the fabric industry, leather industry, shoe industry, cutting acrylic and pen engraving. SUNNA is a leading manufacturer of laser cutting machines and we offer you the best quality machines. The following advice will help you select the laser cutting machine that best suits your requirements.

1. Power

The power output of the machine will determine the amount of work this machine can do when cutting. A laser cutting machine with a higher cutting power output will be able to cut denser material than another machine with a lower cutting power. Therefore, depending on the material you intend to cut, you should be able to pick a machine that matches the power required.

2. Price

With this factor in mind, your budget will be the biggest influence. At SUNNA we can customise your laser cutting machine to suit your company's requirements, while offering you the best product at a low price. The main issues you should consider are the amount of work you are buying a laser cutting machine for and how much you are willing to spend on it.

3. Quality

SUNNA INTL provides laser machines of the best quality under the most favorable prices. However, among these machines there are slight variations in the capabilities from one type of machine to another. Nevertheless, you should always strive to buy certified machines from legit companies like SUNNA and never buy counterfeits.

4. Bed Size

The size of the bed is the X-Y dimension of the stage on which the material to be cut is placed. This factor is influenced by the size of the material you are working with. For example, the acrylic industry usually requires a machine with a larger working area of 900 x 1300 mm to cut large acrylic sheets. A machine with a larger bed size will have room to cut huge materials in one go. Within the same category, the dimensions of the beds vary from model to model.

5. Cooling and Ventilation

Machines tend to get hot when in use, due to the excessive heat generated by the electric current and the moving parts rubbing against each other. It is therefore important to purchase a laser cutting machine with a proper internal cooling system to cope with this heat. Otherwise, the working environment can become very uncomfortable. With these factors in mind, all our machines have a high quality cooler which, when connected, provides a proper cooling system with low maintenance costs.

6. Software Requirements

The factor of software requirements is a huge one especially when it comes to the system of units that a machine works with. For example some machines are programmed to be used with SI units and therefore it would be hectic if your purchase this machine and your field work in the BG Units. It would require conversion in every instance and this would be tedious.

7. Floor Space

This refers to the amount of room that this machine will occupy in the workshop. It would not be recommended to buy a huge machine when you only have room for a smaller one in your workshop. In this case you should buy the small one. The best option can be discussed with our team.

8. Accessories

Some laser cutters will have additional features which will be a huge advantage. For example, a machine with a rotary tool is used when engraving round objects, which makes it more useful than a machine that is only capable of cutting flat surfaces. Depending on the model, the optional accessories required to achieve optimum performance can be discussed.

9. Maintenance

Each machine is designed to improve efficiency and increase the amount of work completed each time. Every machine needs proper maintenance in order to continue to function properly. Maintaining your laser cutting machine is easy with some simple guidelines.

10. The benefits of a laser cutting machine

Make sure you evaluate all the benefits. In terms of productivity, the machine has a high cutting speed and is very efficient in terms of accuracy errors. The machine helps to reduce power consumption and the time required. The machine is well designed, compact and easy to use. The laser cutting machine is automated and therefore easy to store, load and unload.
