50 Watt
A fiber laser can be limited in both the size of the work-bed and the materials that you can cut.
The 30W fiber-laser can engrave dog tags onto stainless steel at a 90deg angle and at a speed of 708 IPM by using 70% of the power.
A 30W fiber laser can be used to engrave stainless-steel at a 90 degree angle and with a speedy speed of 3,543 IPM. It uses 100% of the laser's power.
Fiber lasers can be used in laser engraving and laser marking machines. A fiber laser is able to laser cut sheet metal, which is the main difference between it and a CO2 laser.
MCWlaserPRO is sold as a single product. You can however customize the software during your purchase.
It will be able to run at the recommended speeds and power rates for steel, aluminum, black acrylic and lexan as well as granite and other materials.
I selected these fiber laser engravers after evaluating them on parameters such as size, material capability, laser power, upgrades, service, assembly, work area, laser safety, linear motion, and software used.
For more advanced design, you can use Photoshop, CorelDRAW or AutoCAD. You can also import files in DXF, DXF, PLT and BMP file formats.
In an optical fiber laser, the light is bent by refraction. An optical fiber cable passes the light through an impurity-free transparent silica glass core. The core is covered with cladding, another layer of silica doped with added materials for lowering its refractive index. Because of their refractive index difference, the light will get refracted at the core-clad interface.
Boss Laser has the FM-Desktop laser engraver available in three configurations: 20W, 30W and 50W fiber laser. You can choose the one that suits your needs.
EZCAD 2.0, a free program that is compatible with Microsoft Windows XP/Windows 2000 and Windows 7, WIN8, WIN 10, OS.
FM-Desktop offers an optional extension to the marking area. This allows you to extend it upto 7.87"x7.87" or 11.81".
Laser modules have a lifetime of more than 100,000 hours. They can be used to engrave with repeatable precision of +0.00039".
Raycus laser is a popular laser source brand used by many different laser cutter and engraver manufacturers. When you browse across the catalogs of various laser manufacturers, you will see Raycus mentioned in different places. It just means all these machines have a laser source made by Raycus Fiber Laser Technologies Co. Ltd.
The wavelength is the primary distinction that determines the types of materials that each laser can process. The wavelength of a fiber laser is typically 1,060 nm, whereas CO2 lasers have wavelengths in the 10,600 nm range. Fiber lasers have many advantages over CO2 lasers in general.
Power consumption is extremely low.
A 3000W fiber laser requires 10kW of power plus 5kW for a chiller, for a total of 15kW. $2,700 per year at a rate of 15kW per hour for 12 hours.
To guide light, fiber lasers use an optical fiber cable made of silica glass. Because the resulting laser beam is straighter and smaller than with other types of lasers, it is more precise. They also have a small footprint, are energy efficient, require little maintenance, and have low operating costs.
