The fiber laser machine is one of the latest developments in laser cutting technology, offering unprecedented speed and precision in the metalworking industry. But like most terms, fiber laser cutting sounds complicated. So what is it?
A fiber laser machine uses optical fibers to create a laser beam and a transport fiber to transmit it to the cutting head of the machine. This super-hot laser is condensed to a narrow beam and is used for cutting metals.
Today, several types of laser machines are used and the difference between them lies in the method of laser generation. Below we will tell you about the fiber laser machine, its advantages and applications.
What is fiber laser cutting?
The laser medium for a fiber laser machine is an optical fiber, not a gas or crystal, which gave the fiber laser cutting the same name.
Knowing that the laser is concentrated light, it becomes clear that the optical fiber amplifies this beam — therefore, the fiber is an "active amplifying medium" used to transfer the laser to a more powerful state.
What is the difference between a CO2 laser machine and a fiber one?
The wavelength.
CO2 fiber and laser machines also operate at different wavelengths. A fiber laser has a shorter wavelength than a CO2 laser on a machine. This gives the fiber laser power, which increases the cutting speed and quality.
Compliance of the material.
Another important difference between the two laser machines is the material they work with. The fiber laser machine is suitable for cutting various metals. CO2 laser machines cut and engrave non-metallic materials.
What materials does the fiber laser machine cut?
The fiber laser machine is extremely useful in cutting sheet metal, pipes and profiles, stainless steel, copper, brass, aluminum and titanium. The fiber laser is excellent at cutting reflective materials that CO2 lasers cannot handle.
Five Key Advantages of Fiber Laser Machines:
The most technologically advanced form of laser cutting;
It has the ability to smoothly move from one industry need to another;
Copes with thick metals;
High output power and beam quality ensure a clean cutting edge;
Low power consumption, reduces operating costs.
With so many advantages, it is easy to understand why professional manufacturers purchase fiber laser machines with great pleasure.
