How to choose the power of fiber laser cutting machine?

Different laser cutting machine power, cutting capacity and cutting thickness range are not the same. So, in the choice of the appropriate fiber laser cutting machine, how to choose its power? Here we will help you understand it.

Fiber laser cutting machine in the sheet metal cutting has a more prominent advantages. It depends on the laser generated by the high temperature, melting the surface of the sheet metal parts. Through the control of displacement, to achieve the purpose of cutting. The advantages of laser processing are mainly reflected in, will not produce deformation, high degree of flexibility, small slot, smooth section without burrs, to cut any complex graphics workpiece. So, for different thickness, power of the cutting quality and speed plays an important determinant.

We take the common of laser cutting machine power 500W-1000W:

Comparison of cutting process parameters between 500W and 1000W fiber laser cutting machine. For carbon steel material, below 2mm 500W machine cutting the maximum speed of about 6.6 meters per minute.  1000W machine cutting the maximum speed of about 8 meters per minute. 6mm carbon steel 500W machine cutting the maximum speed of about 0.8 meters per minute. The use of 1000W machine cutting the maximum speed of about 1.6 meters per minute, and so on.

Next, stainless steel, below 2mm 500W machine cutting the maximum speed of about 8 meters per minute. The use of 1000W machine cutting the maximum speed of about 17 meters per minute. 3mm or so stainless steel 500W machine cutting the maximum speed of about 0.4 meters per minute, while the use of 1000W machine cutting the maximum speed of about 1.4 meters per minute. The gap is very obvious. It can be seen that the 1000W fiber laser cutting machine is clearly a more sensible choice when the opposite 500W and 1000W fiber laser cutting machines are used.
