Equipment maintenance cost
The maintenance cost of CO2 laser cutting machine is huge. Not only the lens, but also the service life of the turbine bearing is only 8000 hours, and the replacement cost of each pair is very high. However, the optical fiber laser cutting machine is maintenance free, basically without consumables, and can adapt to harsh working environment, with high resistance to dust, impact, impact, humidity and temperature.
Processing expenses
CO2 laser cutting machine generates gas consumption. And the photoelectric conversion rate is only 8% - 10%. However, the optical fiber laser cutting machine does not need any other consumption, and its photoelectric conversion rate can reach 30%, which is more energy-saving.
In terms of technology
The laser structure of CO2 laser cutting machine is complex. Therefore, the maintenance cost is high, and the beam divergence is large in processing, which is not suitable for large-scale processing. Although the cutting seam is relatively thin, it is very slow in processing thick plates. However, the characteristics of fiber laser cutting machine are miniaturization, high strength, high brightness and high conversion rate. In the processing of thin plates, the cutting speed of the optical fiber laser cutting machine with the same power is 2-3 times that of CO2, and the cutting part is smooth.
