A 20000W laser cutting machine can usually cut up to 40 mm thick. Common 20000W models on the market list a maximum cutting thickness of 40 mm in their technical parameters. Metal materials below 40 mm are cut relatively easily.

 

In actual cutting, materials thicker than 40 mm can sometimes be cut through, depending on material complexity and density. If the material shape is not too complex and the layout is not too dense, a 20000W laser cutting machine has a chance to complete the cut.

 

Cutting thickness depends not only on laser power but also on metal material properties. Different materials have different thermal conductivity and absorption rates, so energy and parameters need to be adjusted according to material properties. For the same thickness, different metal materials may need different settings.

 

Overall, the cutting thickness capability of a 20000W laser cutting machine already meets the needs of most metal materials. For thicker materials, consider other cutting methods or a higher-power laser cutting machine.

 

We can machine custom nozzles, protective lens holders, fixtures, and other precision parts for laser cutting machines from customer drawings, for single-piece or low-volume production.

 

Our custom precision component machining capability is not limited to laser cutting equipment. Beyond cutting nozzles, protective lens holders, and fixtures, we also machine yacht precision components, RC car structural parts, medical device parts, and non-standard parts for tobacco packaging machinery, filling machinery, and printing machinery. Hansheng Automation works from customer drawings and production quantities to deliver single-piece or low-volume precision machining.
