Laser Cutting Machines

For cutting accuracy and efficiency, the fiber laser cutting machine stands head and shoulders above other cutting systems, such as CO2 lasers or plasma cutting machines. Fiber lasers are designed for energy efficiency. The laser beam is transmitted directly from the resonator to the cutting head through a fiber optic cable. This solid-state design does not require any mirrors or optical devices to transmit the laser beam. Fiber lasers are an ideal choice for cutting reflective materials such as copper, brass, aluminum, and stainless steel. Unlike a CO2 laser that uses electricity to ignite laser gas, which includes gases like Helium, Nitrogen, and Carbon Dioxide to produce the laser beam, fiber lasers use a Compact Ytterbium Fiber Laser System that is directly fed into the core of the flexible fiber optic cable. Fiber lasers do not require expensive gases and use less electricity. Fiber has a 35% wall efficiency compared to CO2 which has an 8% wall efficiency. Another big advantage of fiber laser cutting machines is that fiber lasers are less expensive to operate.
