July 03, 2020

The famous American quality management scientist said that the 20th century is the century of productivity, the 21st century is the century of quality, and quality is the most effective weapon for occupying the market peacefully. The industry of cutting machines is very useful in such evaluations. Details:/
Fiber Laser Cutting Machines have advantages in many aspects. This is what many consumers are aware of. Many consumers even praise the use of Fiber Laser Cutting machines. This is mainly because of the advantages of Fiber Laser Cutting Machine. Of course, fiber Laser Cutting Machine can show his uniqueness in different advantages. It is said that everyone may still be at a loss. I do not know fiber Laser Cutting machine and other ways to compare What are the advantages in the end, a few days we come to a detailed introduction, we pay attention to see.
Thermal processing mainly includes flame, Plasma cutting and laser technology, among which the laser cutting effect is the best, especially for fine features with diameter and thickness ratio less than 1:1 and hole cutting. As a result, laser cutting technology has become the most suitable method in the industry for requiring strict fine cutting.
In the area of laser cutting, Fiber Laser cutting gains more attention because it provides both the achievable speed and cutting quality of CO2 laser cutting, and the maintenance and operating costs are greatly reduced. So this makes the prospect of fiber laser cutting technology good, many experts believe it will quickly replace other laser cutting systems.
The main advantages of fiber cutting machines In CO2 laser cutting technology, carbon dioxide gas is the medium that produces the laser beam. However, Fiber Lasers work via diodes and fiber optic cables. The fiber laser system pumps the laser beam through multiple diodes and then transmits it through a flexible fiber optic cable to the laser cutting head rather than through the mirror. This has many advantages. The first is the size of the cutting bed. In gas laser technology, mirrors must be set within a certain distance, which is different from that of fiber laser technology. It is even possible to install the fiber laser next to the plasma cutting head of the plasma cutting bed. The CO2 laser cutting technology does not have such an option. Also, the ability of the fiber to bend makes the system more compact when compared to an equivalent power gas cutting system.
The most important and significant advantage of fiber laser cutting machines is their energy efficiency. With fiber laser complete solid-state digital modules and a single design, fiber laser cutting systems have higher electro-optical conversion efficiency than carbon dioxide laser cutting. For each power supply unit of a carbon dioxide cutting system, the actual general utilization is about 8% to 10%. For fiber laser cutting systems, users can expect higher power efficiency, between about 25% and 30%. In other words, the overall energy consumption of fiber-optic cutting systems is about 3 to 5 times less than that of carbon dioxide cutting systems, making energy efficiency up to more than 86%.
Fiber lasers have short-wavelength characteristics that increase the absorption of light by cutting materials and enable cutting of materials such as brass and copper as well as non-conductive materials. The more focused beam produces less focus and deeper focal depth, so fiber lasers can quickly cut thinner materials and cut medium thickness materials more efficiently. When cutting materials as thick as 6mm, the cutting speed of the 1.5kW fiber laser cutting system is equivalent to the cutting speed of the 3kW CO2 laser cutting system. Since the operating costs of fiber-cutting are lower than those of ordinary carbon dioxide-cutting systems, this can be understood as an increase in output and a reduction in commercial costs.
There is also the problem of maintenance. Carbon dioxide gas laser systems require regular maintenance; mirrors need to be maintained and calibrated, and resonant cavities require regular maintenance. On the other hand, fiber laser cutting machine solutions require almost no maintenance. The carbon dioxide laser cutting system requires carbon dioxide as the laser gas. Due to the purity of the carbon dioxide gas, the inside of the resonant cavity may be contaminated and needs to be cleaned regularly. For a multi-kilowatt CO2 system, this will cost at least US$20,000 per year. In addition, many carbon dioxide cuts require high-speed axial turbines to deliver the laser gas, and turbines require maintenance and refurbishment. Finally, compared to carbon dioxide cutting systems, fiber cutting solutions are more compact and have less impact on the earth, so they require less cooling, and energy consumption is significantly reduced.
The combination of less maintenance and higher energy efficiency makes fiber laser cutting less carbon dioxide emissions than carbon dioxide laser cutting systems and is more environmentally friendly.
