Advantages and disadvantages of different laser cutting machines(1)
Here are the top tips to consider before choosing a laser cutter for your business: power Cutting denser materials requires more power than cutting less dense materials. For example, a CO2 laser cutter has a wavelength of 10.6 microns and a power consumption between 25–100 kilowatts. They are suitable for cutting wood and paper materials. On the other hand, crystal laser cutters and fiber laser cutters consume similar power and produce a wavelength of 1.06 microns. High strength enables crystal and fiber laser cutters to cut metal with ease. the cutting material Different laser cutting machines are suitable for cutting different materials. C0 2 laser cutting machine cannot cut reflective materials and conductive materials. Fiber laser cutting machines can easily handle such materials. However, due to the required edge quality, CO2 cutters can cut heavy metals very well. It is important to consider the type of material you will be working with before purchasing a cutting machine....
