Automatic laser cutting heads are designed to handle reflective-metal jobs and improve productivity at the same power level. Some of the advantages of these laser scanner cutting heads, include:

  • Stable on reflective metals: Handles brass, copper, silver, polished stainless, and other high-reflectivity alloys by improving energy coupling and controlling back-reflection.
  • Higher precision: Beam scanning enables micron-level accuracy (with proper setup), ideal for fine features.
  • Much faster motion: The galvo scanner moves the beam, not the head, so the spot travels much faster than on a gantry machine. Using the same wattage, you often see multiple times the cutting speed and throughput.
  • Greater thickness capacity at the same wattage: Compared with a standard head of the same power, supports thicker material on reflective cutting processes.
  • Flexible path control: Easily executes complex contours, curves, micro-holes, fine pattern cutting, and engraving by steering the beam rather than the whole head.

Follow these steps to mount, align, and verify before production:

  • Mount securely. Place the head at the designated location and fasten it with the correct hardware. Make sure the interface is rigid and free of play to prevent vibration or shift during operation.
  • Align and connect. Use alignment tools (or an alignment laser) to set the optical axis and standoff. Check all connections: fiber, assist-gas, air, sensor/IO cables, and water-cooling. Confirm there are no leaks or loose fittings.
  • Power-up and calibrate. Start the cutting machine and run the initial tests and calibration (focus, height-follower, scan field if applicable). Make any fine adjustments needed so the head cuts accurately and repeatably before loading production parts.
