How does Fibre laser cutting work?

How does Fibre laser cutting work?

With a fibre laser, the laser beam is generated in an active optical fibre. It is then guided to the cutting head of the machine through a transport fibre cable. New higher-powered fibre modules allow thicker materials, including mild streel and stainless steel, to be cut with comparable CO2 cut quality and speeds.

What is Fibre laser cutter?

Fiber laser machines allow you to safely cut a range of metal materials with high speed and accuracy. With laser power options from 500 to 1500 Watts. This machine is suitable for cutting thin sheet metals such as carbon, stainless steel, galvanised steel, aluminium , bass etc.

What material can a fiber laser cut?

Fiber can cut copper, brass and aluminum much better and more safely than CO2 because the beam is more readily absorbed and not reflected. Fiber laser operating costs are typically half of what a CO2 system can offer due to the lower electrical consumption and high electrical efficiency of Fiber lasers.

How fast do fiber lasers cut?

Looking at Picture 2, for the 2000w fiber laser cutting machine, when the thickness of the carbon steel is 1mm, the cutting speed is 10m per minute. When the carbon steel thickness is 6mm, the cutting speed is 2m per minute. When the carbon steel thickness is 10mm, the cutting speed is 1m per minute.

How deep can a fiber laser cut?

Fiber Laser cutting equipment can cut stainless steel below 4mm, and can cut up to 8 ~ 10mm thick stainless steel in laser beam if add oxygen.

How long do fiber lasers last?

How Long Does a Fiber Laser Last? Most online sources claim that fiber lasers last 100,000 hours whereas CO2 lasers last 30,000 hours.

Can fiber lasers cut nonmetals?

Firstly, the fiber laser cutting machine belongs to the processing category of metal laser cutting machine. So it can only cut metal, can not cut non-metal such as cloth, leather, stone, etc. The reason is very simple. And the ideal cutting effect not achieve.

What can a 30w fiber laser cut?

30w fiber laser marking machine For cutting, most of customers cut gold and silver. 30w also has much good performance on that. It can cut maximum 0.7mm silver and 1mm gold. Based on those, no matter on performance, but also on cost, 30w is also the most popular type.
