In terms of market share in the material processing field, metal processing is an important application area of lasers. Sheet metal cutting requires the combination of high output power and high beam quality, especially when cutting thick section metal; Therefore, only a few lasers are suitable for thick section metal cutting, because the laser beam quality usually decreases with the increase of output power. CO2 laser is the leading laser product in sheet metal cutting, because it has high power units and high beam quality. The fiber laser is expected to surpass the CO2 laser in the optimization of the processing process. One of the main reasons is that the short wavelength generated by the fiber laser is more easily absorbed by the metal surface than the long wavelength generated by the CO2 laser.
Compared with the laser cutting machine, the optical fiber laser cutting machine has smaller focus spot, finer cutting lines, higher work efficiency and better processing quality; High cutting speed, using the world's imported fiber laser, high stability, extremely low use cost, the power consumption of the whole machine is only 20-30% of that of similar CO2 laser cutting machines; Very low maintenance cost, no laser working gas; Optical fiber transmission without reflector; It can save a lot of maintenance costs; The product is easy to operate and maintain: optical fiber transmission, no need to adjust the optical path, good flexible light guiding effect: small size, compact structure, easy to flexible processing requirements.
