Co2 and Fiber laser cutting machine

Co2 and Fiber laser cutting machine.

For the user, the biggest difference between a CO2 laser and a fiber laser is the operating cost. “The average operating cost of a CO2 laser is about $12.50 per hour, not including the cost of assist gas,” Bartholomew said. “This is only maintenance and operating costs. The operating cost of fiber lasers is only $3.50 per hour.”

The operating cost of fiber lasers is only $3.50 per hour.”

In addition, CO2 lasers are not as fast as fiber lasers when cutting thin sheets with nitrogen as an auxiliary gas.

Another important reason for the low cost of fiber lasers over CO2 lasers is maintenance. The largest maintenance cost for a CO2 laser comes from the periodic adjustment or replacement of the cavity. “For a CO2 laser, you need to ask the technician for $24,000 to adjust the cavity for every 12,000 hours. The fiber laser does not need to adjust the cavity at all.

Operating costs are also a significant disadvantage of CO2 lasers.

If you switch to a fiber laser, all these cost issues will not exist. “A true fiber laser is purely solid. We have successfully cut 19.05 mm thick plates with fiber lasers, and even cut 6.35 mm carbon steel at 12.7 m/min with a 12 kW fiber laser. Faster than plasma cutting.

One thing to note is that the cutting head of a fiber laser is more complex than a CO2 laser. The fiber laser cutting head is completely sealed to prevent external contamination. Maintenance of the laser head requires the user to pay close attention to the operating procedures, cleaning materials, cleaning methods and operating environment. Although the protective lens and nozzle can be replaced on the machine, the removal and maintenance of the cutting head must be carried out in a clean and ventilated environment.
