Summary:

Fiber laser cutting machine is also known as fiber lase […]

Fiber laser cutting machine is also known as fiber laser cutting machine. Through optical fiber transmission, the degree of flexibility is unprecedentedly improved, there are few failure points, easy maintenance, and the speed is extremely fast. Therefore, the fiber cutting machine has great advantages when cutting thin plates within 4mm. The effect of the wavelength of the solid-state laser is poor when cutting thick plates. The wavelength of fiber laser laser cutting machine is 1.06um, which is not easily absorbed by non-metal, so it cannot cut non-metal materials. The photoelectric conversion rate of fiber laser is as high as 25%, and the advantages of fiber in terms of electricity consumption and supporting cooling system are quite obvious.

Comparison of fiber laser cutting machine and Co2 laser cutting machine:

1. Equipment maintenance cost, the maintenance cost of CO2 laser cutting machine is huge, not only the front mirror and tail mirror are expensive, but the life of the turbine bearing is only 8,000 hours, and the replacement cost reaches 80,000 yuan per pair. However, the fiber laser cutting machine is maintenance-free, basically has no consumables, and can be up to the harsh working environment, and has a high tolerance for dust, shock, impact, humidity, and temperature.

2. Compared with the processing cost, the CO2 laser cutting machine not only consumes gas, but also has a photoelectric conversion rate of only 8%-10%. The fiber laser cutting machine does not require any other consumption during processing, and its photoelectric conversion rate can reach 30%, which is more energy-saving and electricity-saving.

3 From a technical point of view, the laser structure of the CO2 laser cutting machine is complex, the maintenance cost is high, and the beam divergence is large in processing, which is not suitable for large-format processing. Although the cutting seam is relatively thin, the speed is very slow when processing thick plates. However, the laser characteristics of fiber laser cutting machine are reflected in miniaturization, intensiveness, high brightness and high conversion rate. For thin plate processing, the cutting speed of the same power fiber laser cutting machine is 2-3 times higher than that of CO2, and the cutting section is smooth.

Comparison of fiber laser cutting machine and YAG laser cutting machine:

1. In terms of scope of work: the fiber laser cutting machine not only includes the cutting speed and area of ​​the YAG cutting machine, but also has a higher level of cutting quality;

2. The fiber laser cutting machine can achieve the effect of high power with low power, reduce the cost during cutting, and achieve high efficiency with low energy consumption.

3. Achieved the notable operation and maintenance

4. The main advantages of the fiber cutting machine are its transmission medium and light source; the fiber laser uses a diode as the light source, and uses the optical fiber as the transmission medium to transmit lossless light energy to the laser cutting head.

It is said that the reason why the fiber laser cutting machine can quickly gain a foothold in the market and gradually replace the traditional cutting process is precisely because of its various technical advantages, which provide the necessary process technology for the realization of product finishing.
