What Are The Advantages of Fibre Lasers in Cutting Applications

Low cost and high efficiency Fibre laser cutting highlights advantages

(1) Operation requirements and maintenance

CO2 laser needs to adjust the optical path, and the effect of optical path adjustment will affect the cutting quality, so the operator needs to have certain skills requirements, and need to maintain the external optical path; YAG solid-state laser thermal lens effect is obvious, and need to be maintained frequently.

Fibre laser optical transmission, adjustment-free, maintenance-free, highly stable, easier to operate.

(2) Cutting speed and effect

Fiber laser cutting speed is the same power CO2 laser 2-3 times, especially in the metal sheet cutting, fibre laser cutting speed in the three types of laser cutting machine has obvious advantages. Fibre laser cutting machine beam quality is better, the cutting gap is smaller, the cutting edge is more flat.

(3) Material suitability and application industry

Fibre laser is more in line with the sheet metal manufacturing, 3C home appliance industry, new energy industry processing requirements.

(4) Degree of energy consumption and comprehensive cost

Fibre laser photoelectric conversion rate of 30% or more, the same power CO2 laser cutting machine photoelectric conversion rate of about 10-15%, solid-state laser photoelectric conversion rate of 3%. Fibre laser power consumption is only 20-30% of the same power CO2 laser, the overall cost is lower.

Fibre laser cutting is more precise, the focus can be up to 25um, the heat-affected zone is small, the slit is small, and the deformation of the workpiece is small. As a flexible processing method, Dynon laser cutting machine can be combined with automated control system to achieve automatic tracking, automatic edge searching, automatic nesting, and greatly improve the production efficiency, which has a wide range of applications in metal cutting, better performance, and can better meet the requirements of fine cutting processing.
