What are the advantages of plasma cutting and drilling for steel plates?

Plasma cutting is a process in which pulsed lasers form 1 micron holes on the surface of stainless steel. Because the laser cutting precision is very high, it can reach ±0.02mm, so there is no problem in daily drilling. Laser cutting can not only punch holes, but also has obvious advantages compared with many other drilling methods. The drilling accuracy is high, the effect is good, and the cost is low. Below we will learn more about the advantages of laser cutting holes.

Plasma drilling technology is the first laser processing technology to be applied on a large scale in actual production. While electron beam drilling, ultrasonic drilling, electrochemical drilling, jet drilling, electric spark drilling, punching mechanical drilling and other methods, laser drilling technology obviously shows strong versatility, high efficiency, low cost, Good effect and excellent characteristics. The average accuracy is ±0.02mm, and the surface roughness ra is about 1.6mum. If CNC laser drilling is used, the hole accuracy can reach 5 microns, which is excellent. In sheet metal processing, the laser used for drilling is a pulsed laser with a power density of 104～105kw/cm~2, with an action time of only 0.01～1μon, and can process holes with a diameter of 1μon. Plasma cutting technology can not only drill holes accurately from different angles on the surface, but also drill deep holes and small holes for workpieces with different properties such as thin-walled materials, composite materials, brittle materials, and viscous materials.
