In the current metal processing market, metal optical fiber laser cutting machine has gradually replaced CO2 laser cutting machine and traditional processing means, becoming the mainstream equipment in sheet metal processing. What are the advantages of metal optical fiber laser cutting machine compared with CO2 laser cutting machine? Why do more and more companies like to use metal fiber lasers now?

1. Luminous medium:

CO2 laser cutting machine: gas is the medium that generates laser beam and transmits the beam through the reflector.

Metal optical fiber laser cutting: the transmission work is carried out through diodes and optical fiber cables. Multiple diodes are pumped to generate laser beams, which are then transmitted to the laser cutting head through flexible optical fiber cables, rather than transmitted through mirrors.

2. Compact appearance of optical fiber laser cutting machine:

Due to different laser transmission structures, the optical fiber laser cutting machine with the same power in external dimensions is more compact than the CO2 laser cutting machine, thus saving workshop space.

3. Low maintenance cost of optical fiber laser cutting machine:

The CO2 laser cutting machine uses gas as the luminous medium. Due to the purity of CO2 gas, the resonant cavity will be polluted and needs to be cleaned regularly. The reflector needs to be maintained and calibrated. As a result, the daily maintenance work is heavy. Therefore, the metal optical fiber laser cutting machine has relatively low investment cost.

4. High electro-optical conversion efficiency of optical fiber laser cutting:

With the complete solid state digital module and single design of fiber laser, the fiber laser cutting machine has higher electro-optical conversion efficiency than CO2 laser cutting.

5. Good processing effect of optical fiber laser cutting machine:

Fiber laser has the characteristics of short wavelength, so as to improve the absorption of cutting materials to the beam, and enable cutting such as brass and copper and non-conductive materials. When cutting materials up to 6mm thick, the cutting speed of 1.5kW optical fiber laser cutting machine is equivalent to that of 3kW carbon dioxide laser cutting machine.

Therefore, based on the above advantages of metal optical fiber laser cutting machine, we can know why metal optical fiber laser cutting machine can gradually replace CO2 laser cutting machine and traditional processing means. Moreover, many companies directly purchase metal laser cutting machines, which are very easy to use!
