Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. (FM1212-50S) uses a Raycus 50W, solid-state fiber laser. It has a lifetime of 100,000 hour.
However, fiber lasers can be very expensive and you may need a laser engraver that is affordable.
It simply means that, when working in materials such as metals that reflect laser light, they absorb fiber light at a much greater rate than the laser light generated from CO2 lasers.
RetinaEngrave V3.0 can import file types including PDF, SVG JPG, BMP and others from any CAD software.
The ELEMENT is a big step for automation that thrives in even the tightest spaces. Maximize your machine's potential, even in a small shop with limited floor space.
Plasma can cut any metal that has conductive properties. Laser machines have difficulty with reflective metals like copper, aluminum, and brass.
Gulf States Saw & Machine Co.'s FM1212-50S comes unassembled. You can attach it by reading the user manual.
Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. provides an EZCAD2.0 software for controlling the Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. FM1212-50S lazer engraver.
It means that when working with metals that reflect laser beams they absorb fiber laser light much faster than the CO2 laser light.
The laser used is a laser pulsed fiber laser having a wavelength of 1064nm. It can last approximately 25,000+ hours.
With the CNC control system, the fiber laser cutter is equipped with a laser generator to dope the pump material into the optical fiber, and the laser of a specific wavelength emitted by the semiconductor laser is coupled to make the optical fiber generate laser light. Then, the machine converges the laser beam into a small diameter spot to form a beam of high energy density and extremely bright light, which acts on the metal to be cut, which causes the temperature of the metal at the laser irradiation point to be sharp it rises and reaches the vaporization temperature instantaneously, causing evaporation and forming holes. And the machine uses this as the starting point, according to the shape requirements of the part to be cut, the laser beam and the part are moved relative to each other according to a certain trajectory to form a slit. At the same time, the auxiliary gas blowing device is used to remove the slag.
Fiber lasers are centered around the laser source. There is no gaseous medium inside them like CO2 lasers.
EZCAD 2.0, a free program that is compatible with Microsoft Windows XP/Windows 2000 and Windows 7, WIN8, WIN 10, OS.
Boss Laser sends FM-Desktop pre-assembled. They also provide on-location technical support for their customers.
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.
Because the glass is transparent and the wavelength range of the automatic fiber laser cutting machine does not fall within the absorption range of the glass, it only absorbs a small amount of laser energy within the visible spectrum and cannot be cut by fiber laser.
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.
