Choosing a Fiber Laser Cutting Machine(4)

 How much is the price of fiber laser cutting machine?

Your budget is one of the most important considerations in deciding which fiber laser cutting machine is available to you. As with most tools, the more you spend, the more capable and reliable your fiber laser cutting machine is likely to be. However, that's not to say you should stretch your budget to buy the most expensive machine possible. Cheaper machines are usually smaller and easier for new users to use.

Your choice in this price range will be a low powered cutter with a power class of 20W capable of cutting paper, foam, cardboard and very thin wood with multiple laser cuts. They can also burn designs into wood, though they can't cut wood like more powerful machines. These machines are usually small enough to fit on a table. In some cases, you can get diode laser accessories for 3D printers to reuse hardware you may already own. Also, since these lasers are relatively low powered, they don't require dedicated vents (although we still recommend keeping them in a well-ventilated room or garage). It's also important to wear protective eyewear when you're near the machine, as it doesn't have an enclosure.

If you're interested in the idea of laser cutting and want to learn the process hands-on, a diode fiber laser cutter in this price range is a great choice. This is where we start and a great way to learn how to design for laser cutting and see how the machine works. However, due to the low power and small cut size, this class of machines is not particularly suitable for commercial use.

When buying in this price range, be sure to look at the output power of the laser, which is usually lower than the input power.

Is fiber laser cutting machine the right choice for you?

Fiber laser cutters are capable of cutting and engraving materials in ways no other tool can, but they're not the right choice for every job. Before purchasing a fiber laser cutting machine, consider the type of work you plan to do with it and make sure it will meet your needs.

3000W IPG fiber laser cutting machine work demonstration

Image
  This is a customized fiber laser cutting machine , its worktable size is 1500×6000mm, which is specially customized for users to process longer metal plates. The video shows the process of 3000W fiber laser cutting machine AKJ1560F cutting stainless steel plate and carbon steel plate with different thickness. The following introduces its features to you.   AKJ1560 fiber laser cutting machine is equipped with 3000W IPG fiber laser. The biggest feature of IPG fiber laser cutting machine is that it can cut highly reflective metal materials, such as copper, aluminum and other metals. It is well known that highly reflective metals have low absorption rates for laser light. When an ordinary laser cutting machine cuts aluminum, the light that cannot be absorbed by the aluminum is reflected on the lens and then transmitted to the fiber laser. In this case, not only the lens loss is large, but also the damage to the laser is large, which will seriously shorten the life of the fiber l...

Choosing a Fiber Laser Cutting Machine(3)

  CO2 laser generator is by far the most common fiber laser cutting machine choice for home and small businesses. They cost anywhere from a few hundred dollars to $10,000 and are capable of cutting wood and acrylic as well as thinner materials like cardboard. CO2 lasers are much larger than diode lasers, which means they require more tabletop or floor space. They also require more aggressive cooling than diode lasers, adding to the cost, size and complexity of the machine. Fiber Laser Generator is the most expensive option, often costing over $10,000 for entry-level cutters alone. However, they offer faster cutting speeds and are also capable of cutting metal. While fiber lasers are not an economical option for most hobbyist or small business users, they are the only option if you need to cut metal. What are the space requirements for a fiber laser cutting machine? Fiber laser cutting machines range in size from small desktops to professional-grade machines that require a lot of w...

How to make non-metal materials not dust during laser cutting（3）

  The design and functional requirements of non -metallic material laser cutting dust treatment purifier: 1. In the case of treating non -metallic materials to restore dust, the dust purification equipment has effective filtration functions and strong oily and anti -positive. 2. In order to handle odor dust, laser eliminate dust equipment must have carbon adsorption function, which is activated to effectively handle odor dust. 3. Because dust can change complex changes through factors such as other materials, density, temperature, and spatial characteristics. Therefore, it is necessary to retain the elimination of dust equipment to design the preliminary process of external accessories.
