Carbon fiber sheet is widely used in industrial fields such as aerospace, automobile manufacturing, sports equipment, etc., and is often used as a reinforcement material for composite materials. Cutting carbon fiber sheet requires high precision without compromising its performance. Commonly used tools include laser cutting, manual cutting and IECHO EOT cutting. This article will compare these cutting methods and focus on the advantages of EOT cutting.
1. Disadvantages of manual cutting
Although manual cutting is simple to operate, it has some disadvantages:
(1) Poor accuracy
It is difficult to maintain precise paths when cutting manually,especially in large areas or complex shapes, which may result in irregular or asymmetric cutting and affect product accuracy and performance.
(2) Edge spreading
Manual cutting may cause edge spreading or burrs, especially when processing thick carbon fiber sheet, which is prone to carbon fiber dispersion and edge shedding, affecting structural integrity and durability.
(3) High strength and low efficiency
Manual cutting has low efficiency and requires a large amount of manpower for mass production, resulting in low production efficiency.
2.Although laser cutting has high precision, it has disadvantages.
High temperature focusing during laser cutting can cause local overheating or burn the edge of the material, thereby destroying the breathable structure of the carbon fiber sheet and affecting the performance of special applications.
Changing material properties
High temperatures may oxidize or degrade carbon fiber composites, reducing strength and stiffness, changing surface structure and reducing durability.
Uneven cutting and heat affected zone
Laser cutting produces a heat-affected zone, which causes changes in material properties, uneven cutting surfaces, and possible shrinkage or warping of the edges, affecting the quality of products.
3.IECHO EOT cutting has the following advantages when cutting carbon fiber sheet:
High-precision cutting ensures smooth and accurate.
No heat affected zone to avoid changing material properties.
Suitable for cutting special shapes to meet customization and complex structure requirements.
Reduce waste and improve material utilization.
IECHO EOT cutting has become an ideal choice for carbon fiber sheet due to its advantages of high precision, no heat impact, no odor, and environmental protection, thus improving production efficiency and product quality.
