Choosing an appropriate laser cutting machine is based on varying factors, it is necessary to take into account not only the current actual application but also the potential demand in future. In essence, purchasing a laser cutting machine is not a minor investment. This is not just because of the machine itself, but also associated with labor force, maintenance, wear parts, technical support and more aspects during the production process.
Using a laser cutting machine specifically suited to your application can significantly improve your product quality and productivity, while lowering manufacturing cost. This requires a custom-tailored configurations and machine performance adapted to the actual production demands, which can offer a rapid payback and remarkable returns on the investment of fiber laser cutting system.
If you are still struggling to identify the correct machine, we are willing to help and answer all your questions and concerns regarding laser cutting machines to accommodate your specific application needs.
- Excellent laser beam quality: smaller focal spot size, narrower cut kerf, higher processing efficiency, and better processing result;
- High cutting speed: twice as fast as equivalent capacity CO2 laser cutting machine;
- Stable performance: adopting imported fiber laser from world's leading brand to ensure high stability, the service life of key components is up to 100,000 hours;
- High electro-optical conversion efficiency: approximately 30%, which is 3 times higher than that of CO2 laser cutting machine, greatly saving energy;
- Low operating cost: the total power consumption of fiber laser cutter is only 20-30% of CO2 laser cutting machine under the same condition;
- Low maintenance cost: eliminating the need for laser operating gas, optical fiber transmitting without reflective mirror, greatly saving cost for maintenance;
- Easy to operate: optical fiber transmitting, no need for optical path adjustment;
- Flexible light guiding: compact structure, small size, high processing flexibility;
CO2 laser cutting machine is commonly used for cutting like plastic, wood, glass, textile and other non-metallic materials, while the fiber laser cutting machine is more powerful to cut steel, stainless steel, aluminum and reflective metals such as copper and brass.
- Cutting speed: fiber laser cutting machine features a cutting speed 4-5 times higher than that of YAG laser cutting machine, typically suitable for large batch production;
- Operating cost: fiber laser cutting machine consumes less cost than YAG laser cutting machine;
- Electro-optical conversion efficiency: approximately 10 times of YAG laser cutting machine;
The cost of fiber laser tends to be higher than YAG laser, and it is less expensive than CO2. But a fiber laser cutting machine features the highest price-performance ratio among these three.
