Products - Laser Cutting Machine for Sheet Metal

The affordable metal sheet and pipe fiber laser cutter can be used to cut metal sheets, metal plates and tubes of different thicknesses.

Fiber laser is a brand new laser technology that was developed around the globe. It emits a high energy density fiber laser beam to gather it on the workpiece’s surface and instantly melt and vaporize any area irradiated with the ultra-fine focus spot. The spot can then be moved through the CNC mechanical systems.

Fiber laser technology uses stimulated radiation to create a concentrated, powerful laser beam. The laser diode emits light which is then sent to the fiber optic cable for amplification. The laser beam hits the surface of the material and absorbs it. This heat is then converted into heat that melts the surface.

To blow out any molten material, a high-speed airflow is used in parallel to the laser beam. This allows the workpiece to become cut.

Because the fibre laser must make contact with the material at the beginning, it must be stronger than any subsequent interactions. This is because the fibre laser must penetrate the material rather than just cutting through it. For a 12-millimeter sheet of stainless-steel, this requires a pulse beam with high power. It works by putting a hole in the material for approximately ten seconds. A high-speed airflow will simultaneously clear the debris so that a clear picture can be taken of the output.

A fiber laser cutting machine typically uses computerised digital control technology. This allows cutting data to be received from the computer aided design station. These technologies allow you to control the laser’s surface or the laser itself in order to produce a particular pattern.

Dual interchangeable platforms are also available for metal sheet fiber laser cutter machines. They make it easier to load and unload materials. This allows for laser cutting that is fast and precise, while also maintaining precision and accuracy.

Easy maintenance is another benefit of a fiber laser metal cutting machine. It is easy to maintain and replace parts. Fiber lasers also use nitrogen for their cutting process. This allows for quicker, more precise and less messy cutting.

It’s not hard to see why professional metal fabricators from Australia are adding fiber laser cutting machines to their workshop.

Metal sheet fiber laser cutting machines offer many key benefits, including:

• Laser cutting is the most advanced and modern technology
• Can adapt from one industry to the next easily
• It can be used with a wide range of metals
• Can adapt to different wavelengths, ranges, and speeds
• It works at a higher speed than CO2 lasers, increasing efficiency overall
• Reduced set-up and down time for increased efficiency
• This creates a sharper cutting edge by combining high power output with beam quality.
• Running costs are kept low by lower power consumption
• Despite its power, the machine doesn’t pose any heat risk

Fibre laser cutting is unrivalled in metal fabrication. Its precision and accuracy results in excellent output figures. Fiber lasers produce superior results than other types of laser cutting, and they are more efficient and use less material.

The manufacturing and infrastructure industries can greatly benefit from a fiber laser cutting machine. These are the top six uses of fiber laser cutting machines.

The Automotive Industry A fiber laser metal sheet cutter is used to cut many parts of a car including the doors and exhaust pipes.

The Kitchenware Industry Many kitchen appliances are made from thin stainless steel pieces that have been laser-cut using a fiber laser.

Home Appliance Manufacturing Fiber laser cutters are increasingly being used in this industry to enhance the quality and appearance of appliances.

Fitness Machine Manufacturing– The fiber laser cutter has also been used to partially process the equipment in your local gym.

Lighting Manufacturing Most outdoor lamps are made with this machinery.

Decor & Metal Art Manufacturing Using computer numerical control, fiber laser cutters can create patterns and graphic designs in metal sheets. This allows for the creation of custom pieces for decoration or metal signs.

The applications of fiber laser cutting machines are immediately apparent when you look around your house. Fiber laser cutting technology has evolved rapidly because of the constant demand.

Without fiber laser cutting, many more important items like medical equipment and transportation machinery could not be made efficiently and on a large scale.

Laser cutting and mechanical cutting (such as using knives or blades) have different cost profiles:

– Laser cutting equipment is typically more expensive to purchase up front compared to mechanical cutting tools. Sheet metal laser cutter machines can cost tens of thousands to over $100,000, while mechanical cutting tools are relatively inexpensive. (Well, actually, in China, fiber laser cutting machine price has been very low.

– The operating costs of laser cutting include energy usage and maintenance. Fiber lasers are relatively efficient, but they still require electricity to power the laser. Mechanical cutting has minimal operating costs other than blade replacements. However, laser cutting may allow for savings from reduced labor and waste.

– The cost of consumables is lower for laser cutting since there are no blades or cutting tools to replace. Laser cutting just requires an assist gas like compressed air. However, the laser optics and other components do degrade over time and will eventually need to be replaced, adding to costs.

– The cost of materials can be lower with laser cutting due to less waste and more efficient use of the material sheet. The high precision of laser cutting results in less unused material being left over after cutting. However, the upfront material cost will depend on the specific prices of the materials being cut.

In summary, while laser cutting systems have a higher initial purchase cost, they can potentially save money through increased efficiency and less waste. The total cost comparison will depend on specific usage cases and applications. For high volume or high precision cutting, the investment in laser cutting technology may be justified relative to mechanical cutting. For lower volumes, mechanical cutting could be more cost effective.

The cost of a laser cutting machine varies depending on the type and capabilities. CO₂ lasers typically start at around $10,000, while fiber lasers can range from $50,000 to over $200,000.
