The market for high-power fiber laser cutting machines is very large. According to incomplete statistics, the market size of medium power laser cutting machines in China has reached 20000 units per year. The market is large, and there are also many manufacturers of laser cutting machines. The competition is very fierce. Cutting machine refers to a type of laser cutting machine product from 500W to 3000W. XT Laser is a brand of laser cutting equipment that focuses on medium power laser cutting machines. Compared with high-power devices ranging from 3000W to 20000W or even higher, there is essentially no difference and it is economical. Medium power laser cutting machines have become a new favorite in many industries, but most people are not familiar with the specific parameters of laser cutting machines, especially those who used to use traditional processing equipment but now want to switch to laser cutting machines. It’s a daze. What kind of material, how strong is it, and how thick can it be? What is the most concerned cost reduction for users? Next, I will briefly introduce the cost of general laser cutting machines and the parameters of various power fiber laser cutting machines (the following relevant parameters are for reference only, and prices will be affected by brand, consumable prices, and market environment):
