This article compares the technical characteristics of fiber laser cutting machine, CO2 laser cutting machine and YAG semiconductor laser cutting machine.
The fiber laser cutting machine is a cnc laser cutting equipment that uses a fiber laser generator as a light source, and the fiber laser is characterized by low cost and high efficiency. The advantages of fiber laser cutting metal make it popular in the market, effectively solving the problems of high production cost and low production efficiency, so there is a large market space.
 
The real difference of the laser cutting machine is the precise cutting method, which uses cutting head and push type, with high precision and efficiency; thanks to the development of modern cutting machines, the industry produces smaller diameters. The program is very fast. The laser tube cutting machine can be adapted to these changes to ensure that the tubes are cut, which many traditional methods cannot achieve.
 
Take the application of laser cutting as an example, comparing the technological characteristics of fiber laser cutting machine, CO2 laser cutting machine and YAG semiconductor laser cutting machine.
 

1. Fiber laser cutting machine VS CO2 laser cutting machine

Advantages of fiber laser cutting machine
The fiber laser cutting machine has a smaller focal point, finer cutting lines, higher working efficiency and better processing quality; it has a very high cutting speed, twice that of a CO2 laser cutting machine with the same power; stable operation and service. the service life of main components can reach 100,000 hours; The photoelectric conversion efficiency of fiber laser cutting machine is about 30%, which is 3 times higher than CO2 laser cutting machine, energy saving and environmental protection.
Very low cost of fiber laser cutting machine: The power consumption of the whole machine is only 20-30% of similar CO2 laser cutting machines; low maintenance cost: fiber optic transmission, no need for reflective glasses; large maintenance costs can save; Easy to use and maintain: fiber optic transmission, no need to adjust the optical path; Small size, compact structure, simple and flexible processing requirements.
Disadvantages of fiber laser cutting machine
The fiber optic cutting area is relatively narrow. Due to its wavelength, it can only cut metallic materials, and non-metals are poorly absorbed by it, affecting the cutting area.
 

2. Fiber laser cutting machine VS YAG laser cutting machine:

Advantages of fiber laser cutting machine
The cutting speed of fiber laser cutting machine is 4-5 times faster than YAG, which is suitable for processing and mass production; The operating cost of fiber laser cutting machine is lower than that of YAG semiconductor laser cutting machine; The efficiency of fiber photoelectric conversion fiber laser cutting machine is about 10 times that of YAG.
Disadvantages of fiber laser cutting machine
The corresponding fiber laser price is higher, so the fiber laser cutting machine price is much higher than YAG laser cutting machine. But the value for money is actually the highest of the three.

What are the advantages of fiber laser cutting machine in practical use?

The fiber laser metal cutter has no cutting force or deformation during processing; the tool does not wear out and adapts well to the material; regardless of the introduction of simple or complex parts, they can be cut accurately and quickly through laser; the gap is narrow, the cutting quality is good, the level of automation is high. The operation is simple, the labor intensity is low and there is no pollution; It can perform automatic stacking and nesting, improving material utilization, reducing production costs and providing good economic efficiency.
Fiber laser cutting is more accurate, the focus can reach 25μm, the heat-affected zone is small, the gap is small, and the workpiece deformation is small. As a flexible processing method, ACCTEK laser cutting machine can be combined with automatic control system to realize automatic tracking, automatic edge detection and automatic positioning, which greatly improves production efficiency. It is widely used in metal cutting and has better performance, which can better meet fine cutting processing requirements.
 

What is the scope of application of fiber laser cutting machine?

The main function of the laser is that it can cut very complex graphics and the cost of cutting is low. Because it is non-contact cutting, the deformation of the workpiece is small and the product quality is good. Therefore, the laser cutting machine is suitable for all types of sheets and tubes.
Fiber laser cutting machine is mainly used in metal processing, aviation, aeronautics, electronics, electrical appliances, subway accessories, automobiles, food machinery, textile machinery, mechanical engineering. Machinery, precision parts, ships, metallurgical equipment, elevators, household goods, handmade gifts, tools, design, advertising, outdoor metalworking and other manufacturing and processing industries.
The laser cutting machine is used in tube material: round pipe, oval pipe, square pipe, double-sided pipe, special pipe and other types of pipe cutting, copper and other materials; Industries that widely use it include fitness equipment, petroleum pipelines, construction machinery, automobile manufacturing, home appliance manufacturing and other processing industries.
The fiber laser cutting machine can be used for both flat cutting and miter cutting, and the edges are clean and smooth. Compared with the conventional CO2 laser cutting machine, it saves space and gas consumption and has a high photovoltaic conversion rate. It is a new energy-saving and environmental product and one of the leading technological products in the world.
 
Through the above introduction, we can see that in the three cutting methods of fiber laser cutting machine, CO2 laser cutting machine and YAG laser cutting machine, the fiber laser cutting process has obvious advantages. And for materials of different thickness, fiber laser cutting machines have 1000W-30000W power range to choose from. If you are looking for a suitable metal cutting equipment, you will start exchanges to get help.
