The laser used in this experiment is a pulsed-fiber laser with a wavelength at 1064nm. It has an estimated life span of more than 25,000 hours.
Also, if you can get the cutting parameters right in laser cutting, you won’t have to worry so much about leftover cutting residue like dross.
The FLCAJ’s fiber engine, combined with the fiber optic delivery cable, has greatly reduced machine operating costs and required maintenance. With no laser gas, mirrors, or moving parts in the laser source, and by consuming a fraction of the energy required by a comparable CO2 laser, the FLCAJ series makes laser processing more economical than ever before.
This modular material-handling system brings nearly unlimited growth potential to shop floors of all sizes.
Laser cutting machines are expensive at first. They can cost 2x more than a plasma cutter initially. A plasma machine cost starts somewhere around 40,000+ and a laser machine is about 80,000+. Off course this depends on where you buy your metal cutting machine and how powerful it would be. There are some plasma machines that are as low as 15,000 and laser machine as low as 50,000. But like I said, it all depends.
If they have enough power, fiber lasers can cut through reflective materials. They can basically cut through any metal with enough power. They are only limited by the thickness of their cuts.

Laser machines can be used to cut almost any type of material. The kind of laser machine used will affect the materials you can cut. However, a CO2 laser can cut through metals like copper, aluminum, and brass. They can however cut through nonmetallic substances like wood or plastic.
To increase engraving area from 7.87"x7.87", to 11.81"x 11.87", you'll need a 50W or 30W fiber laser.
The ELEMENT is a big step for automation that thrives in even the tightest spaces. Maximize your machine's potential, even in a small shop with limited floor space.

FSL Muse Pandora has a mirror galvanometer in its laser head which traces out the laser path before cutting and gives a rough idea of the cuts it will make.
They can import and utilize different file formats, including PLT and BMP, DXF and JPG.
In fact, the diode module in a fiber laser typically outlasts other technologies by three times. Most lasers have a lifespan of about 30,000 hours, which equates to about 15 years of use. Fiber lasers have an expected life of 100,000 hours, which equates to 45 years of use.
Maximum material cutting thicknesses by 1000W fiber laser cutting machine: Carbon steel has a maximum thickness of 10mm; stainless steel has a maximum thickness of 5mm; aluminum plate has a maximum thickness of 3mm; and copper plate has a maximum thickness of 3mm.
Compressed air, nitrogen, oxygen, and argon are the four primary types of assist gas for fiber laser machines.
