What Types of Laser Cutting Machines Are There?

2025-11-18

A laser cutting machine is an intelligent, modern processing machine. It uses a highly energy-intensive laser beam to rapidly melt and vaporize a portion of the material, creating a slit. Cutting is then accomplished by moving the slit. Laser cutting machines are suitable for a wide range of applications, processing both metal and non-metal materials. They offer high precision and excellent cutting quality, making them widely used in industries such as clothing, advertising, sheet metal, and consumer electronics.


After decades of development, laser cutting technology has become highly mature. In recent years, the Chinese laser market has experienced significant growth, with both manufacturers and users experiencing a significant increase. Currently, there are numerous types of laser metal cutting machines available in China, and new users seeking to understand laser metal cutting machines may have many questions. So, what exactly are the classifications of laser metal cutting machines?


Laser cutting machines can be categorized by various criteria, including application, laser type, and precision.


Laser Cutting Machines


Classification by application: Laser cutting machines are often named based on the material they are intended for, such as fabric laser cutting machines, metal laser cutting machines, pipe laser cutting machines, and glass laser metal cutting machines. This naming convention is chosen because these cutting machines are specifically optimized for the material and have developed corresponding functions, prioritizing depth over breadth of application.


Classification by laser: Laser cutting machines can be categorized by laser type, including CO2 laser cutting machines, fiber laser cutting machines, UV laser cutting machines, and ultrafast laser metal cutting machines. Unlike classification by application, classification by laser type emphasizes breadth. For example, CO2 lasers are suitable for processing various non-metallic materials, fiber lasers are suitable for processing metals, and UV lasers are suitable for processing high-hardness materials.


Classification by Accuracy: Laser cutting machines can be divided into standard and precision laser metal cutting machines. While there's no specific standard for the accuracy of precision laser metal cutting machines, generally, any machine with an accuracy of ≤±0.01mm is considered a precision laser cutting machine. Compared to standard laser metal cutting machines, precision laser cutting places higher demands on laser quality, machine structure, drive system, and control system. The components used differ significantly from those of standard laser metal cutting machines, thus requiring additional classification.


In addition to the three categories mentioned above, laser metal cutting machines are also categorized based on various criteria, such as visual quality and format. Regardless of the classification, the goal is to help users better find the product they need, so the classification is primarily based on user needs. For example, a clothing factory specializing in fabric processing will look for fabric laser metal cutting machine; an advertising company that processes a variety of non-metallic materials will seek CO2 laser cutting machines; and a semiconductor supplier that cuts high-precision thin film materials will require precision laser cutting machines.
