Laser uses light to cut steel. For metal piercing and cutting, light must be concentrated to one point. A magnifying glass can be used to focus the sun's rays onto one point, and then it can be burned. This is how cutting using light works.
Once you have gained access to the machine using RetinaEngrave Version 3.0, it is possible to begin your first task. This is possible in just 30 minutes.
Laser uses light to cut metal. Light is concentrated into a single point to be able to pierce and cut metal. Just think of a magnifying glass that can be used to focus sunlight into a single point and burn it. That’s how cutting with light pretty much works.
If you’re cutting very thick metals mostly, and they don’t need to be precisely cut, then plasma might be a better choice.
MCWlaser PRO has an adjustable Z-axis, moved manually up and down with a control wheel. Unfortunately, XY axes are not adjustable.
AMADA introduces the world’s first fiber laser cutting system with Locus Beam Control (LBC). LBC Technology can freely manipulate the laser beam to create an infinite number of locus patterns and greatly enhance cutting performance.In conventional fiber laser cutting systems, energy density reduces as material thickness increases, resulting in alack of effi ciency. In marked contrast, LBC Technology offers flexible beam pattern control matched to each application,while retaining high-efficiency cutting and high energy density. As a result, VENTIS achieves cutting speeds up to 3times faster than a conventional 4kW fiber laser while producing superior edge quality.
Plasma can, however, cut any type or metal up 80mm thick or 3 inches thick. Plasma can start cutting quicker than laser when cutting thicker material.
Fiber Lasers, manufactured by Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. provide consistent, accurate metal cutting. They can also be used to significantly improve production and quality.
Using a Raycus 50W fiber laser, you can engrave in stainless steel at a 90° angle with a speed of ~3,540 ipm by utilizing 100% of the laser power.
Once you have accessed the machine's control through RetinaEngrave version 3.0, you are ready to start your first job. It takes about 30 minutes to complete this task.
FSL Muse Pandora, 20W, can deep engrave Silver at a speed of 708 IPM using 100% laser power.
The laser used is a laser pulsed fiber laser having a wavelength of 1064nm. It can last approximately 25,000+ hours.
So, if your metal cuts need to be precise, then you need a laser cutter. If you just need to cut simple shapes, and thick ones, then a plasma laser should be alright.
FM-Desktop offers an optional extension to the marking area. This allows you to extend it upto 7.87"x7.87" or 11.81".
Because the glass is transparent and the wavelength range of the automatic fiber laser cutting machine does not fall within the absorption range of the glass, it only absorbs a small amount of laser energy within the visible spectrum and cannot be cut by fiber laser.
Laser cutters cost between $13 and $20 per hour to operate. Water jet cutters cost between $15 and $30 per hour. Overall, the operating costs are comparable, and the total cost will be determined by your project.
To guide light, fiber lasers use an optical fiber cable made of silica glass. Because the resulting laser beam is straighter and smaller than with other types of lasers, it is more precise. They also have a small footprint, are energy efficient, require little maintenance, and have low operating costs.
