They can work at very high speeds if they have a galvohead. Galvo heads are used in portable laser engraving machines.
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.
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.

It simply means that, when working in materials such as metals that reflect laser light, they absorb fiber light at a much greater rate than the laser light generated from CO2 lasers.
This laser is a pulsed laser fiber laser with 1064 nm wavelength. It has a life expectancy of approximately 25,000 hours.
Finally, the laser beam can be shaped at the cutting heads using focus lenses and projected onto the materials.
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.
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.
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.
