Brand selection of fiber laser cutting machine

Hongte Fiber Laser Cutting Machine

Currently, there are mainly three types of laser cutting machines: fiber laser cutting machine, carbon dioxide laser cutting machine, and YAG laser cutting machine. Their advantages and disadvantages and market positioning:

1. Fiber laser cutting machine:

Main advantages: high photoelectric conversion rate, low power consumption, can cut stainless steel plates and carbon steel plates within 12MM, is the fastest laser cutting machine for cutting thin plates among these three machines, with small slits and light spots Good quality, can be used for fine cutting.

Main disadvantages and disadvantages: At present, most of the core and key technologies of fiber lasers are in the hands of one or two manufacturers in Europe, America and other countries, so most of the machines are expensive, most of which are more than 1.5 million. The low-power is basically around 500,000 yuan. When cutting, because the fiber slit is very thin, the gas consumption is huge (especially when nitrogen cutting). In addition, the fiber laser cutting machine is difficult or even unable to cut aluminum, copper and other highly reflective materials, and The speed is very slow when cutting thick plates.

Main market positioning: cutting below 12mm, especially high-precision processing of thin plates, mainly for manufacturers that require extremely high precision and efficiency. It is estimated that with the emergence of lasers of 5000W and above, fiber laser cutting machines will eventually Will replace most of the market for CO2 high-power laser cutting machines.

2, CO2 laser cutting machine:

Main advantages: high power, general power is between 2000-4000W, can cut full-size stainless steel within 25 mm, carbon steel and other conventional materials, as well as aluminum plates within 4 mm and acrylic plates within 60 mm. Wood material board, PVC board, and very fast when cutting thin boards. In addition, because the CO2 laser outputs a continuous laser, it has the smoothest and best cutting section effect among the three laser cutting machines when cutting.

Main disadvantages and disadvantages: Since most of the core and key technologies of CO2 lasers are in the hands of European and American manufacturers, most of the machines are expensive, and most of the machines cost more than 2 million. Only strong domestic manufacturers invest a lot of money to develop core technologies.

3, YAG solid laser cutting machine:

Main advantages: It can cut aluminum plates, copper plates and most non-ferrous metal materials that other laser cutting machines can’t cut. The machine purchase price is cheap, the use cost is low, and the maintenance is simple. Most of the key technologies have been used by domestic companies. Mastery, low cost of accessories and maintenance, simple operation and maintenance of the machine, and low requirements on the quality of workers.

Main disadvantages and shortcomings: It can only cut materials below 8mm, and the cutting efficiency is relatively low.

Main market positioning: cutting below 8mm, mainly for self-use small and medium-sized enterprises and most users in sheet metal manufacturing, home appliance manufacturing, kitchenware manufacturing, decoration and decoration, advertising and other industries whose processing requirements are not particularly high, gradually replacing Wire cutting, CNC punching, water cutting, low-power plasma and other traditional processing equipment.

Fiber laser cutting machine is still the best choice for you, what is right for you? The first is the price tolerance of the laser cutting machine, whether it meets your budget; the second is the thickness of the material you process In fact, it is based on your expected future income divided by the budget price. The higher the number, the higher the number, the higher the quality, the higher the power and the better after-sales.
