The Quattro provides the versatility of a production quality laser in a small package. It combines the latest design and development in machine, CNC and laser resonator technologies. The Quattro features a compact design, low operational and maintenance costs, ease of operation, and high performance-per-cost ratio.
Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. (FM1212-50S) does not include assembly. The modules can be attached to the machine by simply referring to their manual.
Gulf States Saw & Machine Co., FM1212-50S does not come assembled. However, it comes in modules that can be easily attached by referring to their user manual.
Fiber lasers, on the other side, can cut through reflective material if they have enough power. They can easily cut through any type of metal with sufficient power. They are limited only by the thickness they can cut.
The laser module is capable of engraving with a repetition precision of +0.00039 and has a lifespan of over 100,000 hours.
Its laser source module's footprint is 8.3"x14.9", and its engraving machine modules have a work area 13.8x22".
Fiber lasers use high-power laser diodes to stimulate active medium and pump optical fiber with laser light.
Triumph's desktop fiber laser 30W can provide two lenses. The one gives you a 4.3"x4.3" engraving area, while the other allows for a 7.8”x7.8” engraving area.
Plasma can also cut glass and ceramic. Stuff like plastic and wood cannot really be cut with plasma because they are electrically conductive.
Boss Laser offers the FM-Desktop laser engraver in 20W, 30W, and 50W fiber laser configurations. You can choose them depending on your work requirement.
The fiber laser is capable of achieving a repetition precision of +-0.0001" while producing a beam quality of less that 1.1 M2.
Fiber lasers are centered around the laser source. There is no gaseous medium inside them like CO2 lasers.
The machine is controlled using RDWork or LaserWorks software. You can download them freely from their respective website.
MCWlaserPRO comes in two pieces pre-assembled. You will first need to fix the vertical column that connects the laser source and the laser engraver module.
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.
