Usually, when purchasing a fiber laser cutting machine, we match the corresponding power according to the material to be processed. How can we choose the correct power for fiber laser cutting machines in the face of various power specifications in the market?
The material cut by the fiber laser cutting machine is metal, mainly including stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum plate, brass, etc. The higher the device power, the thicker the cutting thickness. The power is mainly determined by the laser. On the market, power of 6000W and above is generally referred to as high power, power between 3000W-6000W is referred to as medium power, and power below 3000W is referred to as low power. From the current market demand, laser cutting machines below 6000W can meet the cutting needs of most customers. The higher the power of the equipment, the faster it can cut the same material. The fastest but most important factor in measuring the price of a laser cutting machine is the power of the laser.
When cutting thin metal, low-power equipment is sufficient, such as 3mm stainless steel plate. Using 3000W power equipment for empty cutting not only has fast cutting speed, but also very good cutting quality, which saves costs and does not reduce accuracy. Therefore, when purchasing a laser cutting machine, it is important to make a reasonable choice based on one's own materials, material thickness, etc., and not blindly pursue high power. Of course, if you process thick and thin plates and have a high demand for production capacity, a high-power laser cutting machine within your affordability range is also a better choice. Because by adjusting the cutting speed and changing the auxiliary gas appropriately, high-power laser cutting machines can also effectively control the cutting quality when cutting thinner sheets.
Diversified products meet the diverse needs of different users of fiber laser cutting machines. Customers in the hardware and kitchen and bathroom industries are mainly suitable for small fiber laser cutting machines; Customers in the advertising, sheet metal, and chassis industries generally choose medium power fiber laser cutting machines; Customers in the aviation, aerospace, rail transit, and automotive industries should choose high-power fiber laser cutting machines. Generally speaking, the power selection of fiber laser cutting machines depends on the individual cutting needs of the customer.
