Laser cutting machines are expensive at first. They can cost 2x more than a plasma cutter initially. A plasma machine cost starts somewhere around 40,000+ and a laser machine is about 80,000+. Off course this depends on where you buy your metal cutting machine and how powerful it would be. There are some plasma machines that are as low as 15,000 and laser machine as low as 50,000. But like I said, it all depends.
Fiber lasers have eliminated the need for mirrors or beam paths to align with them.
When it comes to using the machines, laser cutters and plasma cutters are very similar. The software they use to cut metal is also remarkably similar. So if you have a plasma and want to switch to laser for it’s speed, it will be a very fast learning process.
FSL Muse Pandora can be upgraded with a rotary, expanded Z-travel and fume extractors.
Triumph Laser supplies EZCAD2.0 software to control their desktop laser engraver. EZCAD2.0 is capable of creating basic shapes as well as text.
One thing to note is that while using a fiber laser, you will be somewhat limited in the work-bed size and the range of materials you can cut.
Boss Laser provides lifetime technical support for their customers through their engineers and technicians.
Boss Laser offers CorelDRAW 2020 at a discount rate when you purchase the FM-Desktop engraving machine.
Oxygen is often used in the laser cutting process, and sparks flying during the cutting process can easily cause fire. Therefore, there should be no inflammable and explosive materials in the working area, and corresponding protective facilities should be provided at the same time.
Boss Laser provides technical support through engineers and technicians for customers for life.
MCWlaserPRO laser engraver offers three different versions. There are 20W (30W), and 50W options. These lasers operate at 1064nm wavelength.
Raycus 50W Fiber Laser can be used to etch and mark aluminum at 90 degrees angles. It uses 100% of the laser's power.
The laser used is a pulsed fiber laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm. It has an estimated lifetime of 25,000+ hours.
With a fully integrated system for cutting, sorting, and storing of sheet metal, the ASTES4 is your all-in-one solution for laser automation.
The wavelength is the primary distinction that determines the types of materials that each laser can process. The wavelength of a fiber laser is typically 1,060 nm, whereas CO2 lasers have wavelengths in the 10,600 nm range. Fiber lasers have many advantages over CO2 lasers in general.
Compressed air, nitrogen, oxygen, and argon are the four primary types of assist gas for fiber laser machines.
Marking and engraving are improved by high peak power and nanosecond pulses. The increased power and improved beam quality result in cleaner cut edges and faster cutting speeds. Fiber lasers are also used in material processing, telecommunications, spectroscopy, medicine, and directed energy weapons.
