Fuzhou's laser processing and cutting technology is widely used in the manufacturing of both metal and non-metal materials, significantly reducing production time, lowering costs, and enhancing the quality of finished components. But what should you do if deviations occur during laser processing and cutting? In such cases, it’s essential to identify the root cause from multiple angles—whether it’s related to equipment settings, material properties, or environmental factors—and then address the issue accordingly. Below, a laser processing and cutting manufacturer outlines some common causes for your reference.

1. Steel part clamping equipment causes deviation
Laser-cut steel parts are placed on a fiber-based workbench. Over time, due to manufacturing tolerances, prolonged contact between the steel parts and the surface, as well as laser-induced thermal damage, the pinbed can develop unevenness. These irregularities in height can lead to random errors in the alignment between the cold-rolled steel sheet and the laser's focal point.
During the entire application process of laser processing and cutting machines, issues have arisen with the power cables of the automatic cutting machine, along with poor grounding between the automatic cutter and the computer. Additionally, factors such as computer operating system infections further contribute to deviations in fiber laser cutting and machining processes.


2. Geometric deviations caused by steel components
Laser processing and cutting targets typically include sheet materials or cover components. Due to a variety of factors, the surface of these laser-cut objects often exhibits unevenness—ranging from slight ripples to more pronounced irregularities. Additionally, the thermo-electric effects occurring during the laser cutting process can lead to deformation of the metal sheet’s surface. In the case of one-dimensional laser cutting, even the cover components themselves may develop surface irregularities as they undergo shaping. All of these factors collectively cause the laser focus point to shift unpredictably relative to the ideal position on the workpiece’s surface, deviating from the intended alignment.
