How to Choose a CO2 Laser Cutting Machine to Reduce Costs and Improve Efficiency
Time : May 29 2026

1.Choose Power Based on Material and Thickness


Different material thicknesses require different laser power:

Taking Sanqiang 1390 as an example:

  • 100W can cut 5-8mm;

  • 130W can cut approximately 1cm;

  • 150W can cut approximately 1.5cm;

  • 180W can cut approximately 2cm.

Insufficient power → Incomplete cut or burrs

Excessive power → Burning of material edges, wasted energy


2.Choose the Working Area According to Production Needs


Small format (600×400mm): Samples and small batches

Medium format (1300×900mm): Advertising, furniture parts

Large format (1600×2500mm): Industrial mass production

Working area affects productivity. Choose based on batch size and material dimensions.


3. Reduce Costs Through Operation and Maintenance


  •  Match Power and Cutting Speed

Adjust according to material thickness to avoid burnt edges or incomplete cuts.

  • Keep Materials Flat

Flat materials prevent focus deviation and improve cutting accuracy.

  • Regularly Maintain Optical and Mechanical Systems

Clean lenses, lubricate rails, and check the cooling system to prevent machine issues.

  • Optimize Material Layout and Cutting Paths

Minimize material waste and improve production efficiency.

Proper operation and maintenance reduce rework, minimize material waste, and improve overall production efficiency.


4.Common Issues and Solutions
