When the cutting machine is dealing with composite materials, it is necessary to select the appropriate cutting technology and equipment according to the characteristics of the composite materials. Composite materials are usually composed of two or more materials with different properties, with special physical, chemical and mechanical properties, common composite materials are carbon fiber composites, glass fiber reinforced plastics (FRP), prepregs, honeycomb panels, etc.
For the cutting of composite materials, the commonly used types of cutting machines include:
Vibrating knife cutter: It is suitable for thin and flexible composite materials, such as materials that are composited with multi-layer cloth and film. Cutting is carried out by a high-speed vibrating blade, which can ensure a smooth cutting edge.
Laser cutting machineFor composite materials with moderate thickness and low requirements for thermal impact, especially reinforced composite materials such as carbon fiber and glass fiber, non-contact laser cutting can be used to achieve high-precision processing and reduce mechanical damage to the material.
Regardless of the type of cutting machine, when handling composite materials, it is necessary to pay attention to controlling the cutting parameters to adapt to the characteristics of different materials, while considering factors such as dust control, safety protection and environmental requirements during the cutting process. When purchasing cutting equipment, you should fully understand the specific process needs of composite materials and consult professional manufacturers to obtain the most suitable solution.
