Fiber lasers are solid state lasers. However, they are very different from diode and fiber lasers. This is because of the difference in their capabilities.
Fiber lasers are much more efficient than CO2 lasers and use less energy. They also operate at a shorter wavelength, between 780 and 2200nm, which gives them a higher absorption rate.
Plasma can cut any metal that has conductive properties. Laser machines have difficulty with reflective metals like copper, aluminum, and brass.
Triumph's 30W desktop fibre laser can engrave any metal, such as aluminum, gold or silver, as well stainless steel, steel, and copper.
The FLCAJ’s fiber engine, combined with the fiber optic delivery cable, has greatly reduced machine operating costs and required maintenance. With no laser gas, mirrors, or moving parts in the laser source, and by consuming a fraction of the energy required by a comparable CO2 laser, the FLCAJ series makes laser processing more economical than ever before.
RetinaEngrave.0 can import files from all CAD programs.
Amazon offers a 30-day return policy.
Raycus 50W fiber-laser can be used to engrave steel at 90 degrees angles. It uses 100% of the laser's power.
A fiber laser has eliminated the need to align beam paths and mirrors with optical fibers.
The exception is you are cutting medium to thick metal plates. At this point, laser starts becoming less efficient. Laser cuts medium to thick plates slower. Plasma interestingly can be much faster than laser when cutting medium to thick plates 25mm or 1inch +. The thicker the metal, the better plasma can do vs laser.
To upgrade your machine, you can also get accessories like lenses and a fume extractionor.
FSL Muse Pandora has a mirror galvanometer in its laser head which traces out the laser path before cutting and gives a rough idea of the cuts it will make.
FSL Muse Pandora is upgradeable with a special focus lens, a rotary-axis, extended Z-travel, fume extractors, and fume extractors.
The laser arm is held on the Z-axis by the support column. Adjusting the Z-axis height adjust knob can change the laser focus.
Compressed air, nitrogen, oxygen, and argon are the four primary types of assist gas for fiber laser machines.
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.
Fiber lasers leave unsightly marks on wood.
The goal of any marking or engraving project is to create a readable mark, whether by hand or machine. Uncontrolled absorption, on the other hand, results in an uncontrolled mark on the wood.
