Optical fiber laser cutting machine and the comparison of co2 laser cutting machine

Now a lot of traditional laser cutting, welding equipment are carbon dioxide laser, carbon dioxide laser cutting machine can stable cutting carbon steel within 20 mm, less than 10 mm stainless steel, aluminum alloy under 8 mm. Optical fiber laser cutting thin plate when the advantages of less than 4 mm is more apparent, affected by the solid laser wavelength of it when the cutting plate quality is relatively poor, the two kinds of laser cutting machine in the encounter of copper, silver, pure aluminum high reflective material will have no alternative. Marketed in fiber laser, in order to achieve the three-dimensional processing, go through the high precision dynamic combination of reflector system co2 laser guide to the surface of a three-dimensional curved surface, the three-dimensional processing of carbon dioxide laser, laser and optical fiber cutting because it can be through the optical fiber transmission, flexible degree of unprecedented increase, especially in automotive industry, basically all is about 1 mm sheet surface processing of optical fiber laser with same flexible robot system, the cost is low, the point of failure, less maintenance convenience, speed fast, firmly occupied the market.
it is worth mentioning, according to the international safety standard, laser hazards are rated level 4, carbon dioxide laser belongs to the level of less harmful, and short fiber laser wavelength on the human body, especially eyes hurt, belongs to the harm of level, for security reasons, optical fiber laser processing must be fully enclosed environment.
so, high power co2 laser cutting machine used in stability and more large, more rapid machine tools. In 2 mm below the surface processing, optical fiber laser is better.
