The advantages of fiber laser cutting machines in the sheet metal processing

Fiber laser cutting is a newer manufacturing process that uses a high-density laser beam to heat and melt the material being cut. The laser beam is directed onto the surface of the material, causing it to melt or vaporize in a localized area. High-pressure gas is then used to blow away the molten or vaporized material, forming a cut or seam.

Fiber laser cutting has several advantages over traditional cutting methods such as flame cutting, plasma cutting, waterjet cutting, wire cutting, and stamping. These advantages include:

High precision:

Fiber laser machines can achieve very high levels of precision, with cuts that are typically accurate to within 0.1 mm or less.

High speed:

Fiber laser cutting machines are much faster than traditional cutting methods, with cutting speeds that can be up to 10 times faster.

Low cost:

Fiber laser machines use less energy and require less maintenance than other cutting methods, making them more cost-effective in the long run.

Versatility:

Fiber laser cutting machines can cut a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, and composites, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.

Clean cutting:

Fiber laser cutting produces very little waste material, and the cuts are typically very clean, with minimal distortion or burring.
