A fiber laser cutter is an automated metal cutting system that uses a CNC controller to drive the 1064nm laser beam from a fiber laser generator to move along the tool path generated by the CAD/CAM software to achieve the metal fabrication plans. It is a fine precision cutting system for both sheet metals and tubes. It can cut both flat and beveled metal shapes and profiles. With a robotic arm, it can do 3D laser-cut jobs. It uses the non-contact cutting method of laser beam, which will not damage the substrate, and the thermal influence of the spot irradiation area is smaller. It can cut carbon steel, stainless steel, spring steel, silicon steel, aluminum, galvanized sheet, pickling sheet, gold, silver, titanium, copper, brass, and alloys. It is used for sheet metal fabrication, elevator manufacturing, electronic appliances, auto parts, machinery manufacturing, precision parts, marine aviation, metal crafts, and advertising.
The optical path system focuses the laser beam from the laser generator into a high power density laser beam. The beam is then irradiated onto a part's surface to melt or boil it. Meanwhile, high-pressure gas with the beam blows off any molten or vaporized material. The material is cut by the beam moving in relation to it.
Laser cutting machine is an automated laser system with a CNC controller. It uses CO2 and FIBER laser beams, to cut metals (steel or copper, brass, aluminum. alloy, iron, etc.), rubber, wood, paper, foam, textiles, and fabric into 2D/3D shapes.
The laser's interlocked metallic enclosure is class 2, which means it can be safely used in any workshop or home.
Fiber laser was introduced in the market in circa 2008. Fiber lasers possess a higher speed of cutting and low operating costs. At the beginning of this invention, it couldn’t perform on thicker metals.
After researching and buying the parts and accessories, the rest job is to assemble the kit and debug the software and hardware. The operation and cutting quality of the machine are directly related to the cutting material, laser generator, gas, air pressure and the parameters you set. Please set the parameters carefully according to your cutting process requirements. Improper parameter setting and operation may result in reduced cutting effect, damage to the cutting head or other machine parts, or even personal injury.
Repeatedly debug the equipment and adjust the focus point of the cutting head to a suitable position;
First of all, you need to consider some factors such as the scale of your business, what materials you need to cut, how thick the materials are, and then confirm the power supply and the size of the workbench according to your own needs. Currently, the laser powers in the market range from 80 watts to 40,000 watts, and the table size can be customized according to your requirements.
There are many factors to consider before you decide to buy a laser cutter machine. Let's discuss the details of your purchase plan.
Laser cutting machines are used for commercial production, industrial manufacturing, school education and hobbyist use.
This laser cutter can cope with a range of materials, including wood, bamboo, plexiglas, crystal, leather, rubber, marble and ceramics, although not metal. It with dimensions of approximately 72 x 56 x 41 inches, you're going to need a lot of space to accommodate it.
A laser's ability to engrave high-resolution graphics at top speed showcases the amazing motion control built into our laser machines. You'll be able to engrave images that truly astonish your customers!
Select the appropriate gas to meet your cutting needs. Also, make sure that you check the jet's condition.
A laser cutter is an automated kit that includes the following: CNC controller, machineframe, laser generator and power supply.
Laser Cutting Process Drawbacks
When compared to other techniques, laser cutting requires a high power consumption.
The laser beam is extremely delicate to handle.
If the laser beam comes into contact with human workers, it is hazardous.
Laser cutting is still unable to cut thick metals.
Cutting thick materials is difficult.
The less effective laser cutting becomes as the material thickness increases. For example, when it comes to cutting thick sheets of carbon steel, laser cutting may be difficult.
Laser power of 80W. A laser can typically cut up to 10mm acrylic and up to 9mm soft woods.
