| Copper Type | Cutting Tool | Cutting Speed (mm/min) | Laser Power (kW) (Thickness-Dependent) | Focus Lens Material | Focus Lens Life (hours) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pure Copper (C11000) | CO2 or Fiber Laser | 600-900 | 2-4 (thickness-dependent) | ZnSe or Si | 300-500 |
| Copper Alloys (e.g., Brass – C26000) | CO2 or Fiber Laser | 800-1200 | 2-5 (thickness-dependent) | ZnSe or Si | 300-500 |
| Beryllium Copper (C17200) | CO2 or Fiber Laser | 500-800 | 2-4 (thickness-dependent) | ZnSe or Si | 300-500 |
| Phosphor Bronze (C51000) | CO2 or Fiber Laser | 600-1000 | 2-5 (thickness-dependent) | ZnSe or Si | 300-500 |
| Copper-Nickel Alloy (e.g., Cu-Ni 90/10 – C70600) | CO2 or Fiber Laser | 700-1100 | 2-5 (thickness-dependent) | ZnSe or Si | 300-500 |
Challenges in Copper Laser Cutting:
Unlike conventional materials, copper poses unique challenges due to its reflective nature. Traditional CO2 lasers with a wavelength of 10.6 µm struggle with copper, as it reflects rather than absorbs infrared laser light. However, at V&T Machining, we leverage lasers with shorter wavelengths, enabling us to penetrate copper effectively and achieve unparalleled precision. Success in copper laser cutting hinges on temperature control, angle optimization, cutting speed, and strategic gas utilization.
Technical Approach:
V&T Machining approaches complex copper laser cutting projects with meticulous care and unwavering commitment to quality assurance. Our proficiency in this field minimizes waste, reduces costs, and meets the exacting needs of clients in demanding sectors such as telecommunications and automotive manufacturing.
Optimizing Copper Cutting Speeds and Laser Positioning:
Our focus on cut speed and laser positioning is paramount in ensuring optimal results. By identifying the correct initial piercing point on the copper sheet, we maximize beam efficiency. Adjusting power settings and aligning the sheet grain minimizes drag, facilitating a clean and efficient cut. High-pressure oxygen is employed during copper laser cutting to enhance the consistency of the process, creating a copper oxide layer on the surface that reduces reflectivity, ensuring quicker and more predictable laser penetration.
Benefits of Copper Laser Cutting:
- Exceptional Precision: Copper’s exceptional conductivity makes it indispensable for intricate components in electronics. V&T Machining excels in providing laser-cut copper plates and wires with unparalleled precision, meeting the stringent requirements of sectors like telecommunications.
- Reduced Warping: Our copper laser cutting methodology minimizes the likelihood of warping, ensuring the final product remains flat and undamaged. V&T Machining’s expertise extends beyond cutting to proper cleaning, packaging, and shipping, guaranteeing the safety of the delivered components.
- Metal Purity: Advanced laser copper cutting at V&T Machining significantly reduces the risk of metal contamination. This is crucial for clients in sectors such as automotive and telecommunications, where the final product may undergo chemical treatments.
