The fiber laser requires less maintenance than a CO2 laser. The fiber laser does not need the mirror cleaning or bellows checking that a CO2 cutting machine requires. The fiber laser doesn't need any preventive maintenance, provided it receives clean chiller and cooling water.
Some things aren’t quite as evident until you take a closer look at a fiber laser in operation. Because its beam diameter is often one-third the size of a CO2 beam, a fiber laser has a greater power density than a CO2 laser beam. Not only does this allow the fiber to cut faster, but it also allows it to pierce faster. This smaller beam size also gives the fiber the ability to cut intricate shapes and leave sharp edges. Imagine cutting a company logo out of a tube when the spacing between the logo’s letters is 0.035 inch; a fiber can make that cut, while a CO2 laser can’t.
Sheet laser cutting offers many possibilities and complexity in material loading and unloading automation. Tube laser cutting systems have only recently been available with tube storage systems that allow for automatic handling of tubes and sectionbars and unmanned production changes.

PowerLine C is a CO2 laser-based system for precision drilling, cutting and scribing of many non-metals including glass and organic materials.
Many believed fiber lasers could only work with thin materials. Because CO2 has a longer wavelength, it created enough material kerf to permit material removal. Fiber lasers can't produce the same level of kerf and results with thicker materials. This has been corrected by collimating tech, which can produce a wide fiber laser-generated beam that allows for materials separation. It also makes it possible to allow for material removal in thicker materials. You can also switch the beam width so that the machine can process thin materials with the narrower beam. This allows you to process more materials in a shorter time.

Pipe and tubing Cutting Procedures:
Rotate the pipe cutter around. Tighten the cutter slightly and rotate it around the pipe several times. Repeat until the pipe is severed by the blade. Steel pipe can be cut with a hacksaw, reciprocating saw, or steel-pipe tubing cutter.
CO2 laser cutters are the most commonly used types of laser cutters because they are low power, relatively inexpensive, efficient, and can cut through and raster a wide range of materials.
Laser tube cutting is a method and technique for cutting tubes, structural shapes, or channels. These items will be cut to the required length during the process. It can also make holes or designs in tubing. It is a precise cutting method. It can also be used on a variety of materials in a variety of shapes and sizes.
