Fiber Laser Cutting

Through enhanced functionality exacting precision unmatched quality and easy intuitive operation our multiaxis co 2 lasers can add a whole new dimension to your machining capabilities.

Fiber laser cutting.

With a maximum cutting speed of 35 m min these fiber laser machines complete jobs quickly with high level precision. If you d like to learn more about ablative laser cutting check out this article on micron scale manufacturing. Definition of fiber laser cutting. Fiber lasers vs co 2.

In conventional fiber laser cutting systems energy density reduces as material thickness increases resulting in a lack of effi ciency. Fiber laser cutting is a more recent technology and has grown dramatically in popularity partly due to its superior quality when cutting thinner material. The two most common types of laser cutting machines are fiber laser and co 2. A fiber laser or fibre laser in british english is a laser in which the active gain medium is an optical fiber doped with rare earth elements such as erbium ytterbium neodymium dysprosium praseodymium thulium and holmium they are related to doped fiber amplifiers which provide light amplification without lasing fiber nonlinearities such as stimulated raman scattering or four wave.

Given its dominance in the sheet metal cutting industry this article focuses on laser fusion cutting. 3d laser cutting systems offer the ultimate in accuracy and flexibility for users across a wide range of complex laser applications. In fact fiber laser sales have now outpaced those of co2 but it isn t a catch all solution. In marked contrast lbc technology offers flexible beam pattern control matched to each application while retaining high efficiency cutting and high energy density.

Fiber laser cutting is a hot cutting method which makes use of the focused high power density laser beam as the main heat source to illuminate the workpiece cause the irradiation materials rapidly melting evaporation and ablation or reach the ignition point. Co 2 lasers use an electromagnetically stimulated gas typically a mixture. The following data in the laser cutting thickness speed chart is for reference only. Fiber lasers are a type of solid state laser that is rapidly growing within the metal cutting industry.

Different fiber optics material quality gases optical lenses cutting patterns etc will affect the cutting speed and need to be adjusted according to site conditions. As a result ventis achieves cutting speeds. Laguna tools also offers machines with an enclosed working area to eliminate light pollution.
