Frequently Asked Questions

What is a four-side grooving laser cutting processing center? How is it different from a standard laser cutting machine?
This is a multifunctional processing system that integrates four-side V-grooving and laser cutting into one machine.

Standard laser cutting machines only perform 2D sheet cutting such as outer contours and inner holes.

The four-side grooving processing center can additionally perform V-grooving, chamfering, and milling on sheet metal edges. The grooving function allows precise bending and forming without secondary positioning, making it ideal for precision sheet metal manufacturing and stainless steel decorative panel production.

What processing accuracy can the machine achieve?
Typical high-precision specifications include:

Laser cutting positioning accuracy: ±0.03mm / 500mm

Grooving repeat positioning accuracy: ±0.01mm

Minimum groove depth control: 0.01mm level

Accuracy is affected by guide rail alignment, servo encoder feedback precision, and environmental temperature changes.

How should the remaining material thickness be set during grooving?
Remaining material thickness refers to the bottom metal thickness left after grooving and directly affects bending performance.

Recommended remaining thickness is generally 20%–30% of the total sheet thickness.

If too thin, the sheet may crack during bending.

If too thick, bending resistance increases and bending accuracy decreases.

Why do stainless steel cutting surfaces become black or produce slag?
Black cutting surfaces or slag are usually caused by auxiliary gas problems or incorrect focus position.

Stainless steel cutting requires high-purity nitrogen gas. Using oxygen or low-purity nitrogen may cause oxidation and black edges.

Improper laser focus positioning or contaminated lenses may also reduce cutting quality and should be checked regularly.

Why does the cutting head sometimes collide with the metal sheet during processing?
Cutting head collision may occur due to:

Uneven sheet deformation

Incorrect nozzle height settings

Servo response problems

Damaged ceramic rings

Proper sheet fixing, nozzle distance adjustment, and regular maintenance can effectively reduce collision risks.
