What is the operating cost of the laser cutting machine?

What is the operating cost of running the equipment? With such a large investment in cutting machines, manufacturers need to know how efficient the equipment is. What you need to know is not just whether the machine is running or not-how much benefit the machine can bring is more important. This is the role of equipment performance monitoring.

Taking 1mm stainless steel as an example to calculate the use of capital and time costs

Example: Cumulative production cost of 50,000 meters and approximate time period for cutting 1mm stainless steel (because the thin plate punching time and short and empty stroke can not be counted, and the production arrangement of each enterprise is different, because it is a horizontal efficiency and cost comparison , So it has little effect on the comparison of statistical results, and the loading and unloading time is not included)

Monitor the laser cutting machine Operating costs and operating conditions

It is important for you to understand whether the software can measure the overall equipment efficiency (OEE) of the laser cutting machine in real time. If so, can the software be used for your other laser cutting machines (if you have one) so that you may find 'hidden capacity' that you think you don't have?

The cost of the monitoring software is only the equipment About 1% of the price, it can increase productivity by 10% to 50% in less than four months, because different cutting methods, different operating methods, etc., many insignificant variables will affect our laser cutting The results of the machine have a great impact.

The operating cost of the laser cutting machine

The cost of the laser cutting machine mainly includes power consumption, auxiliary gas costs and wearing parts .

Take 500W fiber laser cutting machine as an example:

1. Power consumption: 500W fiber laser cutting machine consumes 6 kWh of electricity per hour, and the electricity cost is about 6 yuan/hour (Calculated at 1 yuan/degree).

2. Auxiliary gas consumption:

Oxygen: 15 yuan/bottle, about 1 hour, 15 yuan per hour

Nitrogen: 320 yuan/bottle, It takes about 12 to 16 hours, and the unit price is 20 yuan per hour.

Remarks: Oxygen in the text refers to bottled; nitrogen filling is less costly than bottled, and it also saves the time for operators to change air and waste caused by excessive bottled gas. In addition, gas prices in different regions will vary.

3. Consumption of other vulnerable parts:

Protection lens: Normal use for more than 300 hours, the price is 150 yuan/piece, about 1-2 yuan per hour (if the working environment is good , The use time will be longer)

Copper nozzle: normal use for more than 300 hours, the price is 50 yuan/piece, about 0.18 yuan per hour

Ceramic ring: normal use for more than 7200 hours , The price is 400 yuan/piece, about 0.11 yuan per hour
