If you’re cutting very thick metals mostly, and they don’t need to be precisely cut, then plasma might be a better choice.
Fiber lasers on the other hand can cut through reflective materials if the have enough power. They can pretty much cut through any kind of metal with enough power. They will only be limited by how thick they can cut.
They do not offer an official return policy, but you will get a 30-day replacement period when you purchase through Amazon.
With the development of optical fibers, there is no need for beam paths or mirrors to align the lasers.
MCWlaser PRO comes in half pre-assembled fashion. First, you must fix the vertical column connecting the laser source and laser engraver modules.
People who use plasma always tell me they must watch over their plasma cutter. They say the plasma machine can start cutting wrong or get out of control (imagine seeing a plasma machine head swirling around in crazy motion?)
To expand the engraving area, longer focal length lenses can be used. These lenses require high concentrated power and are taller.
Amazon does not have an official return policy. However, you can get a replacement within 30 days if you order through Amazon.
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.
But we all know cost does not just stop when you first buy a laser machine. Both laser and plasma have cost associated with them for operating and maintenance. Things you need to consider are stuff like power consumption, maintenance, consumables, and labor (how much time/money it cost to operate the machine).
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.
High-concentrated power lenses with a longer focal length are used to expand the engraving area.
You can import file types like PDF, SVG, JPG, BMP, and more into RetinaEngrave v3.0 from any CAD software of your choice.
With a fully integrated system for cutting, sorting, and storing of sheet metal, the ASTES4 is your all-in-one solution for laser automation.
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.
