In fact, many customers know that metal laser cutting machines are different from their laser drilling machines. Metal laser cutting machine can also be used for drilling. The main advantages of the laser cutting machine are that the heating area is small, it is not easy to deform, the cutting joints are smooth and beautiful, and there is no need for subsequent processing. It seems that it is no different from the laser drilling machine. So what's the difference between metal laser cutting machine and laser drilling machine? Let's analyze it today.
Difference between metal laser cutting machine and laser drilling machine
Metal laser cutting machine is mainly used to cut the sheet into the required shape of the workpiece laser processing machine, but also uses the heat energy of the laser beam to achieve cutting equipment. Applicable materials: stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, spring steel, copper plate, aluminum plate, gold, silver, titanium and other metal plates and pipes. Compared with the laser drilling machine, it has a wider application range and can enhance its cutting ability.

What is a laser drilling machine?
At present, there are many kinds of lasers, mainly including purple light and red light. Laser drilling technology has been used in industry for a long time. This is a relatively mature laser processing technology. With many improvements, laser drilling is suitable for most materials. At present, it can also be used for micro deep hole processing, picosecond processing, etc.
Characteristics of laser drilling machine
Laser drilling machine is used for small holes, narrow slots and micro processing, while laser is more suitable for dense multi hole processing. Laser drilling is not only limited to the plane, but also can be processed on different inclined workpieces. If laser is used to assist other workpieces, various difficult machining can be completed. For example, the combination of laser and precision CNC machine tool can make the laser form a trajectory according to the programmed program, and can complete some specific workpiece processing. Laser drilling uses a beam of light, and the output power is very stable. In the process of processing, it will hardly cause workpiece loss.
