Current status of global laser cutting machines
Technological development
Since its inception, laser cutting technology has undergone continuous technological innovation and progress. The initial laser cutting machines used CO2 lasers, but over time, other types of lasers, such as fiber lasers and solid-state lasers, gradually became widely used. These new lasers have higher energy conversion efficiency, smaller volume, and longer service life, making laser cutting technology more widely used in various fields.
Meanwhile, with the development of automation and intelligent technology, modern laser cutting machines are no longer just simple cutting tools, but have more intelligent functions. The level of automation continues to improve, enabling more efficient production and possessing a certain degree of self-monitoring and fault diagnosis capabilities, making equipment maintenance more convenient.

In industrial manufacturing, laser cutting machines can efficiently cut various metal and non-metal materials, achieving precision machining; In the fields of automotive engineering and aerospace, laser cutting machines can be used to manufacture various components, improving the accuracy and quality of products; In the fields of electronics and medical devices, laser cutting technology can achieve the processing of small parts, meeting the needs of precision machining; In the jewelry industry, laser cutting machines can achieve precise cutting and carving of various gemstones and jewelry materials.
Market trends
With the continuous development of global manufacturing, the demand for efficient and precision machining equipment is also increasing. Laser cutting technology has become an indispensable part of the manufacturing industry due to its high efficiency, flexibility, and precision. It is expected that the global laser cutting machine market will maintain stable growth in the coming years, especially in emerging markets and high-end application fields, with a faster growth rate.
Meanwhile, with the continuous innovation and popularization of laser cutting technology, the price of laser cutting machines is gradually decreasing, allowing more small and medium-sized enterprises and individual craftsmen to enjoy the convenience brought by laser cutting technology. Therefore, the future laser cutting machine market will present a multi-level and diversified development trend.
In summary, global laser cutting machines are in a stage of rapid development in technology, application, and market, and will continue to bring more efficient and precise processing solutions to manufacturing industries in various fields.
The burrs generated during laser cutting are due to the formation of edges when the material is melted or vaporized during laser cutting. These burrs may affect the quality and appearance of the parts, so measures need to be taken to remove them.
The following are several common methods for removing burrs:
Mechanical grinding: Using tools such as grinding wheels, sandbelts, or sandpaper to grind or polish the cutting edges. This method is suitable for thicker burrs, but may leave wear marks or alter the size of the workpiece.
Chemical deburring: using chemical solvents or corrosive agents to dissolve or corrode burrs. This method can remove burrs without damaging the surface of the workpiece, but it requires careful operation to avoid adverse effects on the workpiece.
Laser deburring: Using auxiliary laser or adjusting laser cutting parameters, re laser treatment is performed on the deburred area to melt or vaporize it, thereby removing the burrs. This method can accurately control the position and shape of deburring without causing damage to the surface of the workpiece, but requires special equipment and technical support.
Air flow blowing: After laser cutting is completed, use air flow to blow away burrs. This method is simple and feasible, but may not be able to completely remove all burrs, especially in more complex part structures.
Based on the actual situation and needs, the most suitable deburring solution can be selected by combining the above methods. In practical applications, appropriate deburring methods are usually adopted based on comprehensive considerations of factors such as workpiece material, shape, and requirements
