Because of the amount of power required to create a CO2 laser, it is less efficient and has a much lower wall plug efficiency when compared to a fiber laser. It follows that the large chillers required for the CO2 lasers need more overall power too. Given the fiber laser resonator’s wall plug efficiency of more than 40 percent, you are not only using less power, but also less of your in-high-demand floor space.
The applications of tubes and profiles are numerous. The use of processed tubes and profiles is endless, in every industry. The laser-assisted production of tubes and profile offers many possibilities for design and manufacturing.
