What are the applicable fields of cutting machines?

With the development of modern mechanical processing industries, the requirements for cutting quality and precision are constantly increasing. There is also a growing demand for automatic cutting functions with high intelligence to improve production efficiency and reduce production costs. The development of CNC cutting machines must meet the requirements of modern mechanical processing industries. Cutting machines are divided into flame cutting machines, plasma cutting machines, laser cutting machines, water cutting, etc. Laser cutting machines have high power, high cutting precision, and generally small cutting thickness. Plasma cutting machines also have fast cutting speeds and a certain slope on the cutting surface. Flame cutting machines are specifically designed for carbon steel materials with larger thicknesses. Cutting machines can be categorized based on the materials they cut, specifically into metal cutting machines and non-metal cutting machines. Non-metallic material cutting machines are divided into flame cutting machines, plasma cutting machines, laser cutting machines, water jet cutting machines, etc; Metal material cutting machines are primarily tool cutting machines. Cutting machines can be distinguished by their control methods, which are categorized into CNC (Computer Numerical Control) cutting machines and manual cutting machines A CNC cutting machine uses a digital program to drive the movement of the machine tool. As the machine tool moves, the randomly equipped cutting tool cuts the object. This electromechanical integrated cutting machine is called a CNC cutting machine. Cutting machines are applied in both metal and non-metal industries. Generally speaking, the non-metal industry has a more detailed division. For example, there are stone cutting machines for cutting stone, water cutting machines, sawtooth cutting machines, laser cutting machines for cutting cloth and plastic, and chemical fiber products, as well as blade-type cutting machines. For cutting metal materials, there are flame cutting machines and plasma cutting machines. Within the flame cutting machines, there are two major categories: CNC (Computer Numerical Control) flame cutting machines and manual flame cutting machines. The manual flame cutting machines include small-scale, semi-automatic, and purely manual models. The CNC flame cutting machines include gantry-type CNC cutting machines, cantilever-type CNC cutting machines, bench-type CNC cutting machines, intersecting line CNC cutting machines, and so on. Laser cutting machines are relatively expensive and are high-tech cutting equipment with high precision and power. Water jet cutting machines are second, followed by flame cutting machines, which also have relatively low costs. Plasma cutting machines have the lowest operating costs (per piece). image
