Fiber lasers have several main advantages. One is that in emitting their light, the environment is well protected and these lasers are designed very compactly. They have a large gain bandwidth, tuning range for wide wavelength and the capacity to generate very short pulses. These lasers, with their high power and efficiency, are one of the suitable cutting methods
Fiber lasers can cut thin materials at very high speeds and are also capable of cutting reflective and polished materials without the risk of reflections damaging the machine. Therefore, metals such as copper, brass and aluminum can be cut with the help of this laser without any problems.
It does not cause thermal damage to objects
The beam emitted from the fiber laser cutting machine is extremely powerful, which is why it can easily cut strong and thick materials such as steel. Another great advantage of these lasers is that they can be very precise, so that the beam does not cause any damage to the materials around the object they are working on. Many industries can benefit from these benefits. Take, for example, the electronics industry, where the beam must be able to operate at extremely small sizes without damaging any of the essential components of electronic devices.
Excellent performance
You will also find that fiber lasers outperform many of their counterparts. These lasers provide a much higher quality beam surface that can be focused on achieving high precision as well as increased power density. This means that things can be done at a higher speed and with much less power consumption
Tips on using fiber laser cutting
There are a few important things to consider when using a fiber laser.
If you want to cut a material with this laser for the first time, although the fiber laser works great in cutting most materials, but due to the short wavelength, it cannot cut acrylic or polycarbonate and can only To be used for wood or cloth in limited cases
Another thing is the thickness of the material to be cut. Harder and thicker materials, especially mild steel, require more energy to cut, and in these cases, fiber laser cutting may not be a good option for them. In this case, it is possible to install the fiber laser cutting head right next to the plasma cutting head and get good results.
Another thing you should know about this laser is that the shorter wavelength of 1 micron produced by this laser is transmitted through the cornea of the eye to the retina. Eye protection against it is a simple issue that can be easily solved with safety equipment and glasses
