How to choose a fiber laser cutting machine?

 

When choosing a fiber laser cutting machine, the selection of power is crucial. Whether it is a fiber laser cutting machine or other types, the following 3 steps will help you choose accurately, ensuring efficient and accurate cutting results.

 

1、 Materials first, absorption rate fixed power

Firstly, clarify the type of material you primarily process. The absorption rate of laser varies among different materials, which directly affects the required power. If your product is mainly made of metals, such as: carbon steel, stainless steel, or is more inclined towards aluminum and copper plates, you need to consider their different absorption rates for lasers. Also, don't forget to consider the types of materials that may not be commonly used but are occasionally used.

 

2、 Cutting thickness, dividing ratio and selecting power

Next, further determine the power based on the cutting thickness of the product. Divide the cutting thickness in an 8:2 ratio, with 80% being the regular cutting thickness and 20% being the thickness range that may be occasionally used but also involved. Based on this ratio, select the most suitable power range by referring to the parameter table provided by the manufacturer.

 

3、 Cutting speed, refer to the table for stable and fast cutting speed

In the selection process, cutting speed is also an important indicator that cannot be ignored. Especially for products that require long-term processing, a stable cutting speed can greatly improve production efficiency. Referring to the cutting speed chart provided by the manufacturer, select a model with a stable speed of 1 to 1.5 meters per minute or above for 80% of the material types and product thicknesses you need, to ensure an efficient and stable cutting experience.

 

When selecting the power of a laser cutting machine, multiple factors such as product material, thickness, and processing requirements should be comprehensively considered to avoid blindly pursuing high power. What is suitable is the best, making your production more efficient and accurate!
