What Types of Cutting Machines Are There?

With the development and growth of modern mechanical processing, in order to improve production efficiency and reduce production costs, higher demands have been put forward for cutting accuracy and quality. What are the types of cutting machines? This question needs to be answered, and the next step is to introduce it in detail.

Types of cutting machines: Cutting machines are distinguished by cutting raw materials and can be divided into metal cutting machines and non-metal cutting machines.

Metal material cutting machines can be divided into flame cutting machines, plasma cutting machines, laser cutting machines, water jet cutting machines, etc.;

Non-metal cutting machines are mainly knife cutting machines.

Cutting machines are distinguished by control methods and can be divided into CNC cutting machines and manual cutting machines. CNC cutting machines use digital programs to drive the movement of the machine tool. As the machine tool moves, randomly configured cutting tools cut the object. This mechatronic cutting machine is called a CNC cutting machine. Laser cutting machines work faster, have higher cutting accuracy, and usually have smaller cutting thicknesses. The cutting speed of the plasma cutting machine is also very fast, and the cutting surface has a corresponding inclination. Flame cutting machine is suitable for carbon steel materials with large thickness.
