Laser cutting machine with 6000W power can cut multiple thick materials

Laser cutting is a processing method that uses a high-power density laser beam to irradiate the surface of a material, causing the material to instantly melt and vaporize, thereby achieving cutting. Many buyers are not sure how much power they want to buy for laser cutting machines. Generally speaking, the higher the power, the thicker the cutting thickness. So how thick material can a 6000W laser cutting machine cut?

carbon steel

The 6000W laser cutting machine can cut carbon steel with a thickness of 1-30mm. In practical applications, the cutting thickness of carbon steel can usually reach around 25mm.

stainless steel

The cutting thickness of stainless steel is generally between 1-20mm. For example, the cutting speed of 1mm thick stainless steel is faster, while the cutting speed of 20mm thick stainless steel will significantly decrease.

aluminium alloy

The cutting thickness range of aluminum alloy is 1-20mm. Due to the good thermal conductivity of aluminum alloys, cutting thicker aluminum alloys requires higher laser power and slower cutting speed.

Brass and copper alloys

The cutting thickness range of brass is 1-12mm, while the cutting thickness of copper alloy is generally around 1-10mm. These materials have a low absorption rate for laser, making cutting difficult.

Non metallic materials

For non-metallic materials such as wood, plastic, etc., the cutting thickness of a 6000W laser cutting machine can usually reach 20mm or more. Due to the poor thermal conductivity of non-metallic materials, laser energy is more easily concentrated in the cutting area, resulting in a larger cutting depth.

How thick material can a 6000W laser cutting machine cut? The 6000W laser cutting machine performs well in cutting metal and non-metal materials, with a cutting thickness range generally between 1-30mm, depending on the material type and process parameters.
