How to choose the power of fiber laser cutting machine?

Different power fiber laser cutting machine has different cutting capacity and cutting thickness range . So, how to choose the suitable power for laser cutting machine? Let us learn more about that.

Fiber laser cutting machine has a more prominent advantage in the sheet metal cutting, it relies on the laser generated high temperature, melting to the sheet metal surface, through numerical control displacement to achieve the purpose of cutting. The advantages of laser processing are mainly reflected in not deformation, high degree flexibility, small slot, smooth section without burr, cut any complex graphics workpiece. Then, for different plate thickness, power plays an important decisive factor on the seam quality and speed.

We take the common 500W-1000W, for example, to analyze:

The graph is the cutting process parameters comparison chart of 500W and 1000W fiber laser cutting machine. For example carbon steel materials, as shown in the figure, the maximum cutting speed are 6.6 meters per minute for 500W laser cutting machine to cut below 2mm carbon steel and 8 meters per minute for 1000W machine; the maximum cutting speed are 0.8 meters per minute for 500W laser cutting machine to cut 6mm carbon steel and 1.6 meters per minute for 1000W machine, and so on.

Next to stainless steel materials, as shown in the figure, the maximum cutting speed is 8 meters per minute for 500W laser cutting machine to cut below 2mm carbon steel, while the maximum speed is 17 meters with 1000W fiber laser cutting machine; to 3mm stainless steel, the maximum cutting speed are 0.4 meters per minute for 500W laser cutting machine and 1.4 meters per minute for 1000W machine, the gap is very obvious. It can be seen, 1000W fiber laser cutting machine is clearly a more sensible choice.

Laser source, as the most important fitting, our laser cutting machine adoptsIPG laser source. With agreement signed between IPG and Han’s Laser, we’re the strategy partner of IPG (largest customer in the world). They can offer the best price of 1000W laser source for us . All IPG laser sources delivered to us are strictly inspected by IPG Company, and fastest feedback for us if there’s any problem with the laser source. Only us has 2 year guarantee.
