PowerLineC CO2 laser-based systems that can precision drill, cut, scribing mark, and emboss many non-metals like glass and organic material.
The maintenance of a fiber laser is not as important. It doesn't need mirror cleaning or bellows checks like a CO2 Laser Cutting Machine. It does not need to be cooled with cold water, and air filters can be replaced regularly.
Cameras are being used by machinery manufacturers to inspect tubes. The quality check takes only about half an second, and the rotations required are reduced. This allows the machine's productivity to be maintained as well as its accuracy.

At one time many thought that fiber lasers could be used only for thin materials. The CO2, with its larger wavelength, created enough kerf during the cutting of thick materials that enough space was allowed for material removal; the fiber laser couldn’t produce the same kerf or results with thicker materials. But that has been addressed in recent years with collimating technology that can produce a wider fiber laser-generated beam that creates materials separation and room for material removal in thick materials. And since the beam width is switchable, the machine can use the narrower beam to process thin materials, which allows for faster processing of different-sized materials on the same fiber laser cutting machine.
The wavelength of fiber lasers is 1.06 microns. This is 10% less than the wavelength of a CO2 laser beam. The fiber laser emits a beam with a shorter wavelength that is more easily absorbed and reflected by reflective materials than a CO2 laser. Fiber laser cutting machines are able to cut brass, copper and other reflective materials. Be aware that the CO2 laser beam can damage not only the machine's lens but also the entire beam path. This risk is eliminated by using a fiber-optic cables for the beam path.

Fabricators might first think of high-speed laser cutting when they think about fiber laser cutting technology. While this might be true in some cases, it is not the case when it comes tube cutting. It is more about the time required to process a tube so it meets specifications than the actual cutting speed.

The laser beam is the most important component of the laser cutter; it determines wavelength and power, and thus the material that it can cut or engrave. Solid-state lasers, fiber lasers, and CO2 lasers are the three main types of lasers used in laser cutting.
Laser tube cutting is a method and technique for cutting tubes, structural shapes, or channels. These items will be cut to the required length during the process. It can also make holes or designs in tubing. It is a precise cutting method. It can also be used on a variety of materials in a variety of shapes and sizes.
CO2 laser cutters are the most commonly used types of laser cutters because they are low power, relatively inexpensive, efficient, and can cut through and raster a wide range of materials.
