Some things are difficult to see until you have a closer look at the fiber laser operating. Fiber lasers have a larger power density than CO2 laser beams because their beam diameter is typically one-third that of CO2 beams. This allows fiber to cut more quickly and also allows it pierce better. This allows the fiber to cut intricate shapes with sharp edges and leaves a smaller beam size. Imagine that a fiber can cut the company logo from a tube with spacing of 0.035 in between its letters; a CO2 laser is incapable of doing this.

A laser cutter that cuts sheet metal can transform a sheet of paper in seconds. You can also do the same with a laser tube cutter machine but it is a completely different story about how it is done.
The weld seam is another consideration in tube cutting. This material is then roll-formed before being welded together. This brings us to two important points that should be addressed.
The fiber laser does not require as much maintenance. The fiber laser doesn't need to be cleaned as often as a CO2 laser cutter machine. The fiber laser does not require any preventive maintenance as long as it has access to clean chiller water and that the filters are regularly replaced.

We haven't talked about cutting speed, you may have noticed. You can cut up to 500 inches per hour on a tube but it's not always possible. The main focus of laser tube cutting is how long it takes to load the tube, index it so that it's in the right spot for cutting, then pierce and slice it. Laser tube cutting machines have a slower cutting speed than they do with parts.
Laser cutting machines that cut sheet metal can turn a sheet into a sheet in seconds. A laser tube cutter machine can do the same thing, but it's quite different in how it's done.

Fiber lasers have wavelengths of 1.06 microns. This wavelength is 10 percent lower than the CO2 laser beam. Fiber lasers have a much shorter wavelength which makes them more able to absorb reflective material. CO2 lasers are more likely reflect off these surfaces. Fiber laser cutting machines can be used to cut brass and copper as well as other reflective materials. The machine's laser beam, as well as the beam path, can be damaged by a CO2 laser beam reflected off the material. This risk is eliminated if the beam path is used with a fiber optic cable.
A fiber laser cutting machine generates a laser beam using active optical fibers and transmits it to the machine's cutting head via a transport fiber. This extremely hot laser is condensed into a narrow beam and is used to cut through various metal thicknesses.
What is the operation of a CO2 Laser? Modern CO2 machines typically generate the laser beam in a sealed glass tube filled with gas, typically carbon dioxide. A high voltage flows through the tube, interacting with the gas particles and increasing their energy, resulting in the production of light.
