The difference between fiber laser cutting machine and CO2 metal laser cutting machine

First of all, the transmission mode of fiber laser cutting machine and CO2 metal laser cutting machine is different. Fiber laser is not transmitted through mirrors like CO2, which makes fiber laser technology have no range limitation between mirrors. Similarly, when compared with a gas cutting system of the same power, the system is more compact due to the ability of the fiber to bend.

The electro-optical conversion efficiency of fiber laser cutting machine is far beyond that of CO2 metal laser cutting machine. Users can use fiber laser cutting machine to achieve higher power efficiency, about 25% to 30%, which is the actual use of laser cutting machine brand carbon dioxide cutting system Three times to five times the rate. Compared with the carbon dioxide cutting system, the energy efficiency of the fiber laser cutting machine is improved by more than 90%.

In terms of maintenance, the high-power CO2 metal laser cutting machine needs regular maintenance, such as the calibration of the reflector and the overhaul of the resonant cavity. The fiber laser cutting machine is maintenance-free in the later period.

Due to the short-wavelength characteristics of fiber laser cutting machines, some non-conductive metal materials, brass and copper are more likely to absorb fiber laser beams. Because the fiber laser beam is more concentrated and the spot is smaller, the cutting speed of the fiber laser cutting machine is faster when cutting thin and medium-thick plates. When cutting materials up to 6mm thick, the cutting speed of a 1.5kW fiber laser cutting system is equivalent to that of a 3kW CO2 laser cutting system.
