For engraving larger areas, you will need a 30-W or 50W laser fiber to upgrade to 7.87"x7.87", or 11.81"x11.87".
A fiber laser shines in engraving applications. It can mark, etch and engrave metals at incredible speeds.
Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. - FM1212-50S doesn't come assembled. However, the modules are easily attachable by consulting their user manual.
Fiber lasers are centered around the laser source. There is no gaseous medium inside them like CO2 lasers.
The beam quality is lower than 1.5 M2 for the 20W or 30W lasers, while it's less than 1.8 Mi2 for the 50W laser.
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.
Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. gives a 2-year warranty on all its fiber laser machines. Amazon also offers a 30-day warranty for replacements.
MCWlaserPRO can be purchased in half pre-assembled. First, fix the vertical columns connecting the laser source module and the laser engraver modules.
The auto-focus feature automatically adjusts the laser head position along the Z-axis as per the data received using the 3D camera.
Amazon does not offer a return policy. However you will be eligible for a replacement within the 30-day period.
Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. (FM1212-50S) uses a Raycus 50W, solid-state fiber laser. It has a lifetime of 100,000 hour.
FSL Muse Pandora (FSL) offers a variety of laser options, including 20W, 30W and 50W.
Plasma can also be used to cut ceramic and glass. Plasma cannot cut plastic or wood because they are electrically conductive.
EZCAD 2.0, a free program that is compatible with Microsoft Windows XP/Windows 2000 and Windows 7, WIN8, WIN 10, OS.
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.
Fiber lasers typically cost between $20,000 and $45,000.
Power consumption is extremely low.
A 3000W fiber laser requires 10kW of power plus 5kW for a chiller, for a total of 15kW. $2,700 per year at a rate of 15kW per hour for 12 hours.
