What are the advantages of fiber lasers?
Knowing Fiber Laser Cutting
The fiber laser outputs a high-energy-density laser beam and collects on the surface of the workpiece, so that the area illuminated by the ultra-fine focus spot instantly melts and vaporizes. The numerical control mechanical system moves the spot irradiation position to achieve automatic cutting.
Fiber laser cutting machine application
The fiber laser cutting machine can do plane cutting, pipe cutting and bevel cutting. The cutting section is neat and smooth, which meets the high-precision processing requirements of metal plates and pipes.
Fiber laser cutting vs carbon dioxide laser cutting
Beam quality
Compared with the CO2 laser cutting machine, the fiber laser cutting machine has a higher beam quality and a smaller focusing spot, making the cutting lines more fine and enabling better quality processing.
2. Cutting speed and processing efficiency
Compared with CO2 laser cutting machines, the cutting speed and efficiency of fiber laser cutting machines are twice that of CO2 laser cutting machines of the same power.
3. Equipment use stability
The fiber laser uses a semiconductor modular and redundant design. There is no optical lens in the resonant cavity, and no startup time is required. Compared with CO2 lasers, fiber lasers have the advantages of adjustment-free, maintenance-free, and high stability, which is also unmatched by other traditional lasers. High-quality fiber laser with stable performance and key component life of up to 100,000 hours.
4. Photoelectric conversion efficiency
The optical fiber laser cutting machine has a photoelectric conversion rate of about 30%, which is three times higher than a CO2 laser cutting machine, which saves energy and protects the environment and reduces production costs.
5.Usage and maintenance costs
The power consumption of the fiber laser cutting machine is only 20-30% of that of the CO2 laser cutting machine, and the use cost is lower than that of the CO2 laser cutting machine. At the same time, the fiber laser cutting machine does not need laser working gas, fiber transmission, and no reflective lens, which saves a large part of maintenance costs. The fiber laser only needs to provide a constant temperature, constant humidity environment, clean distilled water or deionized water to cool the laser and stable power output, and simple maintenance.
6. Light path and operation
Compared with CO2 laser cutting machine, the fiber laser cutting machine has optical fiber transmission through the whole machine without the need for complicated light guide systems such as reflectors. The light path is simple, the structure is stable, and maintenance is convenient.
