In the consultation, the first question customers ask is "How much does a laser cutting machine cost?". Customers often compare prices before buying a laser cutting machine, and the quotes given by different manufacturers are often different. Customers inevitably ask: "Why is the price of the same thing so different from one manufacturer to another? Is there something we do not know?" Today, the author will answer your questions and take you to interpret the price of
laser cutting machines.
In recent years, with the development of the laser industry, the advantages of laser cutting are becoming more and more obvious. From the traditional plasma cutting machine, carbon dioxide laser cutting machine, CNC punching machine, and solid-state laser cutting machine to today's fiber laser cutting machine, more and more customers choose efficient, economical, and environmentally friendly fiber laser cutting machines.
As a new product that follows the market trend, the laser cutting machine is popular among users for its precision and high cutting speed. This is a very happy thing for the practitioners of laser cutting machine. But now, the market is a mixed bag of laser cutting machines with different prices: some tens of thousands, some hundreds of thousands. What's more, some sellers just mark the price and blur the address, or even not at all, so that users who can't visit don't know that this is actually a small workshop. Customers, if they want to know the price of a laser cutting machine, the more they ask, the more confused.
With the development of laser technology, lasers in sheet metal processing, environmental protection equipment, cabinets, agricultural machinery, kitchen and bathroom appliances, auto parts, sports equipment, elevator equipment, advertising signs, and other industries are becoming more and more popular. Laser has become a tool and the price has come down a lot compared to a few years ago. However, the price of a fiber laser cutting machine is higher than that of an ordinary CO2 laser cutting machine. The price of a 1000W fiber laser cutting machine is between $12,500 and $22,000. Although the fiber laser cutting machine is expensive and the initial investment is large, it will have good benefits at a later stage due to its fast cutting speed, high working efficiency, and high cutting accuracy.
Why do prices vary greatly from manufacturer to manufacturer?
The price of laser cutting machines varies greatly from manufacturer to manufacturer. So, what are the factors that affect the price of
fiber laser cutting machines? In fact, the accessories used in each machine are very different. The configuration and performance are also very different, not to mention the after-sales service of different brands of laser equipment. Large fiber laser cutting machines are expensive. For the company that buys a fiber laser cutting machine, the service is just beginning. Different laser equipment is chosen to suit different production processes and different levels of refinement of process requirements. The performance of the laser cutting machine purchased is also different. Therefore, the quotation of laser cutting machines from different manufacturers should be different.
Price is only one of the factors we should consider when buying a machine, but it is never the only factor. If you blindly chase low prices, you may lose more than you gain. In the production process, whether imported or domestic, the price and quality are directly proportional to each other. In recent years, we all agree that cheap products are not good products, and good products are not cheap. Especially industrial laser machine tools and equipment, but also follow this principle. Moreover, the cost and link of the cutting machine is mainly reflected in the accessories and labor. Listed below are the factors that affect the price of metal laser cutting machines.
1. The laser cutting machine brand.
Of course, the size of the brand determines the price of the equipment, which is a relatively abstract concept. We can understand that big brands are much safer than small factories in terms of equipment quality, equipment accessories, equipment performance, technology, after-sales service, etc. All of these belong to the added value of the product, but also a general rule of the laser cutting machine market. Therefore, the price of laser cutting machines of big brands will be higher than those of small brands.
AccTek is a well-known CNC machine tool manufacturer in China and enjoys a high reputation in the international market.
The quality and service of the products are proven in the market and have very good cost performance.
2. Size of the bed
The fiber laser cutting machine manufacturers generally have various standard bed sizes, and according to the special needs of customers, they can also customize non-standard machines according to customers' requirements. Standard sizes are the specifications that manufacturers have always set, while non-standard sizes require special customization, so laser cutting machines with custom beds are more expensive than standard sizes.
3. Laser generator brand
As we all know, the laser source is the core optical component of the laser cutting machine. With different brands of laser cutting machines, the quality of the laser beam varies greatly, and the price of different brands of laser sources varies greatly. Currently, the mature laser source brands are IPG, JPT, Raycus, Max, and BWT.
4. Other key components of the laser cutting machine
The brand and quality of other key components such as guide rails, rack and pinion, servo motors, etc. also lead to different prices. Therefore, when purchasing a laser cutting machine, users should pay attention to the specific configuration and not be blindly tempted by low prices.
5. Power
For the same brand of manufacturers, the higher the power of the equipment, the higher the price. Therefore, before inquiring, you should know the material and thickness you want to cut, as well as the requirements for cutting speed and production capacity.
Generally speaking, brand knowledge makes it easy to lure customers into buying laser cutting equipment. In fact, users should combine the brand, power, and after-sales service when buying a laser cutting machine. A good fiber laser cutting machine manufacturer should not only have a good reputation but also have more laser cutting machines with different power so that customers can choose the equipment according to their needs. In addition, considering the use of the equipment, good after-sales service is also very important, which will make the customers feel a better experience of operating the machine.
When choosing a laser cutting machine, we should consider the key points mentioned in this post and then make a decision.
AccTek is a very good choice that deserves your serious consideration. I am sure that by comparing, you will be able to buy the best equipment for you.
