Laser cutting machines are widely popular in the processing industry due to their cutting characteristics, which leads to a large number of customer inquiries about various issues related to laser cutting machines. Among them, material consumption accounts for the majority. Today, Shenyang laser cutting manufacturers will talk about this issue for everyone.

There are three main types consumed by laser cutting machines, namely laser tubes, metal reflectors, and oxygen or nitrogen gas.

When laser cutting machines are used to cut metals, oxygen or nitrogen auxiliary gas needs to be added in order to achieve slag free cutting of the metal. If it is necessary to cut non-metallic materials such as thick acrylic sheets, then the focusing lens needs to be replaced, which can better utilize the laser tube.

That's why it was mentioned above that laser tubes are consumable materials, because after a certain period of use, the function of laser tubes will begin to weaken and eventually cannot be used. A telephoto lens can better cut thick plate materials. Saying these is to enable customers who use laser hybrid cutting machines to save on material consumption costs, and also to better perform metal and non-metal cutting, improving cutting efficiency and speed.

So how much oxygen or nitrogen is consumed when cutting metal? Continuous processing, usually with a standard bottle of oxygen or nitrogen, can take 3 to 4 hours for processing. If it can run for 60m in an hour, then a bottle of oxygen or nitrogen can process 180m to 240m.

If we further subdivide it, a cutting material with a circumference of 50cm would result in 360 to 480 workpieces. And a bottle of oxygen or nitrogen, with a market price of 20 yuan per bottle, and further divided, the cost of oxygen consumption is basically a normal consumption. So, for the oxygen consumption of this laser hybrid cutting machine, its cost is very low and can be basically ignored when divided into individual workpieces.

So, when purchasing a laser cutting machine, the cost of consuming materials can be basically ignored. Because although a laser tube costs several thousand yuan, its service life is extremely long, and when divided equally, there is basically no cost involved. Not to mention the lower cost consumption of oxygen.
