1. If classified by laser type, they can be divided into:

A. Solid-state lasers. Solid-state lasers are further divided into ruby lasers, YAG, etc.

B. Semiconductor lasers.

C. Liquid lasers.

D. Gas lasers. CO2 lasers.

Of course, the ones used for laser cutting are YAG and CO2.


2. If classified by the structure of laser cutting machines, they can be divided into:

A. Desktop laser cutting machines

This type of laser cutting machine is the most common. It places the laser on one side and transmits it to the laser cutting head through an external optical path. The processing range is generally 1.5*3M, 2*4M.

Desktop machines are further divided into cantilever type, gantry type, hybrid type, etc., according to their specific structure.

Many domestic and foreign brands, such as Trumpf, Bystronic, Prima, MAZAK, etc., most of their machines are desktop laser cutting machines.

Desktop machines are mainly used for sheet metal processing. They can be used in many industries, such as elevator manufacturing, electrical switchgear, grain machinery and other industries mainly based on thin plate processing.

B. Gantry-mounted laser cutting machines

This type of laser cutting machine places the laser on the machine and moves together with the machine operation, which can ensure constant optical path. The effective cutting range can be very large, with widths of 2-6 meters and lengths of several tens of meters. Mainly used for heavy industries such as construction machinery, shipbuilding, and locomotives. Mainly targeting blanking and cutting of medium and thick plates within 3MM-25MM.

The main brands of this type of mounted laser cutting machines include: Japan's Tanaka (TANAKA), Koike (KOIKE), etc.

3. If classified by cutting workpieces, they can be divided into:

A. Metal laser cutting machines. The laser power is generally relatively large.

B. Non-metal laser cutting machines. The laser power is generally very small.

C. Can also be used for cutting pipes - pipe laser cutting machines.
