This fiber laser can give a repetitive precision of ±0.0001" with a beam quality of less than 1.1 M2.
We offer a variety of laser power options, including 1000W, 1500W. 2000W. 2500W. 3000W. The fiber laser machines have a cutting speed up to 35 m/min. This allows them to complete jobs quickly and with high precision. Laguna Tools also offers machines with enclosed areas that eliminate light pollution.
What it means is, when working with materials like metals that reflect laser beams, they will absorb fiber laser light at a much higher rate than laser light generated by CO2 lasers.
Plasma can also cut glass or ceramic. Because they are electrically conductive, plasma can't cut through plastic or wood.
The laser beam is then amplified using an optical fiber and fed to a cutting head.
Laser uses light to cut metal. Light is concentrated into a single point to be able to pierce and cut metal. Just think of a magnifying glass that can be used to focus sunlight into a single point and burn it. That’s how cutting with light pretty much works.
If most of your production is cutting thin metals up to 25mm, then a fiber laser cutter will be ideal.
Some PVC-based acrylic releases toxic fumes when lasered. Therefore, it is better to check the chemical compositions of the materials you plan to engrave.
Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. has an EZCAD2.0 control software that works with their FM1212-50S laser engraver.
FM-Desktop is capable of engraving on acrylic, plastics brick, PVC granite, marble, tile and silver as well as steel, brass, brass, and Titanium.
Raycus 50W laser fiber can etch aluminum at a 90 degree angle and mark it with 100% laser power.
Fiber lasers can also cut through reflective materials, provided they have enough power. With enough power, they can cut through almost any metal. Their cutting power will limit their ability to cut through thicker metals.
Plasma science can seem complicated. I'll try to make it as simple and quick as possible. Plasma cutters heat the gas enough to melt it. After the metal has been heated enough to melt, it can be blown with gas to make a cut. There is much more to this process, but that's for another day. (Or, you can conduct your own research, if desired).
Fiber lasers have a small focal point, so using them to cut thick materials will be impractical. In such cases, a CO2 laser is the best option.
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.
To guide light, fiber lasers use an optical fiber cable made of silica glass. Because the resulting laser beam is straighter and smaller than with other types of lasers, it is more precise. They also have a small footprint, are energy efficient, require little maintenance, and have low operating costs.
Thin carbon fiber mat can be cut with some fraying - but not when coated. The laser can cut or etch. The laser can cut materials such as wood, paper, cork, and some plastics.
