Laser cuts metal by using light. To be able to cut and pierce metal, light is concentrated at a single point. You can think of a magnifying lens that can be used for focusing sunlight onto a single point to burn it. This is how cutting with light works.
Oxygen is often used in the laser cutting process, and sparks flying during the cutting process can easily cause fire. Therefore, there should be no inflammable and explosive materials in the working area, and corresponding protective facilities should be provided at the same time.
Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. FM1212-50S uses a Raycus solid-state 50W fiber laser. The fiber source has a life expectancy of 100,000 hours.
The generated laser beam is then amplified and fed to the cutting head using a flexible optical fiber.
However, fiber lasers tend to be quite expensive. If you need a cheaper laser engraver, then you might consider using diode type lasers.
In fiber lasers, the optical fiber is pumped with laser light at the source using high-power laser diodes stimulating the active medium.
Finally, the laser beam will be projected onto the work material and is focused at the cutting head.
FM-Desktop, a mobile engraver machine, has a footprint of 33.5" x 24-.5". This machine can mark on 4.33"x4.33", which makes it ideal for small projects like laser engraving knives.
Fiber laser is a type of high energy laser beam based on fiber amplifier that uses glass fiber doped with rare earth ions as the gain medium. The pump light irradiates the rare-earth-doped glass fiber pump source, which induces the rare-earth ions to absorb photons, and the excited radiation has the same frequency as the incident photons. Under the action of pump light, it is easy to form high power density in the fiber, which results population inversion of the laser working substance. When a positive feedback loop (constituting a resonant cavity) is properly added, the laser oscillation output can be formed. Fiber lasers have a wide range of applications, including material processing, communications, medical beauty, scientific research and military, instrumentation and sensors. It has been used for cutting, engraving, etching, marking, welding, surface treatment, cleaning, cladding, and some other applications.
The laser spot receives more energy if it is closer to 1 than the M2 value. It aids in processing thicker materials and thin wells.

Our machines can easily cut stainless steel, brass as well as aluminum and brass without the fear of back reflections. These fiber lasers machines will greatly reduce maintenance and operational costs.
Raycus 50W laser fiber can etch aluminum at a 90 degree angle and mark it with 100% laser power.
Muse Pandora can also be mounted underneath a adjustable work desk (as shown below) to enable effective engraving for such lenses.
The wavelength is the primary distinction that determines the types of materials that each laser can process. The wavelength of a fiber laser is typically 1,060 nm, whereas CO2 lasers have wavelengths in the 10,600 nm range. Fiber lasers have many advantages over CO2 lasers in general.
Applications for the 50 Watt Fiber Laser Deep Engraving Machine:
Thin metals such as stainless steel, aluminum, alloy, brass, silver, gold, and titanium can also be cut by the deep laser engraving machine.
Compressed air, nitrogen, oxygen, and argon are the four primary types of assist gas for fiber laser machines.
