Advantages and development prospects of fiber laser cutting equipment

As one of the core equipment of high-end manufacturing equipment, fiber laser conforms to the general environment of industrial manufacturing transformation and meets the requirements of multi-dimensional processing applications with high difficulty and changes. The advantages of fiber laser material processing are very popular in the market, effectively solving the pain points of high production cost and low production efficiency, and have huge market space.

Through the application examples of laser cutting, a comparative analysis of fiber laser cutting equipment, CO2 laser cutting equipment, and YAG solid laser cutting equipment was conducted, and the advantages and development prospects of fiber laser cutting equipment in laser cutting applications were discussed.

The advantages of low-cost and high-efficiency fiber laser cutting are highlighted.

1. Operation requirements and maintenance

CO2 laser needs to adjust the light path, and the effect of light path adjustment will affect the cutting quality, so the operator needs to have certain skills and needs to maintain the external light path; YAG solid laser thermal mirror has obvious effect and needs frequent maintenance.

In addition, fiber laser fiber transmission is adjustment-free, maintenance-free, highly stable, and simpler to operate.

2. Cutting speed and effect

The cutting speed of fiber laser is 2~3 times that of CO2 laser with the same power. Especially in the cutting of thin metal plates, the cutting speed of fiber laser cutting machine has obvious advantages among the three laser cutting machines. The fiber laser cutting machine has good beam quality, small cutting gap and flat cutting edge.

3. Material applicability and application industry

Fiber laser is more in line with the processing requirements of sheet metal manufacturing, 3C home appliances, new energy and other industries.

Fourth, energy consumption and comprehensive cost

The photoelectric conversion rate of fiber laser is above 30%, the photoelectric conversion rate of CO2 laser cutting machine with the same power is about 10-15%, and the photoelectric conversion rate of solid laser is about 3%. The power consumption of fiber laser is only 20-30% of that of CO2 laser with the same power, and the comprehensive cost is lower.

Fiber laser cutting is more precise, the focus can reach 25um, the heat affected zone is small, the cutting seam is small, and the workpiece deformation is small. Dineng laser cutting machine is a flexible processing method, combined with automatic control system, system, to achieve automatic tracking, automatic edge finding, automatic nesting, greatly improve production efficiency, widely used in metal cutting, better performance, can better meet the requirements of fine cutting processing.
