When selecting the appropriate fiber laser cutting machine, how to select its power?

As we all know, fiber laser cutting machines have many different powers. How do we choose? Anyone familiar with the fiber laser cutting machine industry knows that different power fiber laser cutting machines have different cutting capabilities and cutting thickness ranges. Customers want to cut different materials and have different requirements for the configuration of optical fiber laser cutting machines. Therefore, the market has a demand for low, medium and high power cutting machines. So how to choose the power when selecting the appropriate optical fiber laser cutting machine?

The material cut by the optical fiber laser cutting machine is metal, mainly including stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum plate, brass, etc. Generally speaking, the higher the equipment power, the thicker the cutting thickness. The power mainly depends on the laser. In the market, the power of 2000W and above is generally referred to as high power, the power of 1000W-2000W is medium power, and the power of 1000W and below is referred to as low power. From the current demand, the market has a large demand for 2000W fiber laser cutting machine, which can meet most of the cutting needs, while the cutting speed of 2000W and above may be faster, but the price is also higher. Power is one of the main factors that directly affect the price of laser cutting machine. 

For thinner stainless steel and carbon steel plates, it is possible to use a low-power fiber laser cutting machine to cut very well, and at the same time to ensure a high cutting speed, which not only ensures work efficiency but also saves costs. Therefore, when purchasing a laser cutting machine, you must make a reasonable choice according to your own material and material thickness, and do not blindly pursue high power.

Of course, if you have thick and thin plates to process, and the demand for production capacity is very large, the high-power laser cutting machine within the price range that you can afford is also a better choice. Because by properly adjusting the cutting speed and changing the auxiliary gas, the cutting quality can also be well controlled by cutting thin plates with high-power laser cutting machine. 

So customers should consider two points when purchasing fiber laser cutting machine. First, meet the cutting requirements of customers; Second, the price is within your own tolerance. The power of laser cutting machine is one of the important factors you need to consider, but it does not mean that you should blindly pursue high power.

Diversified products can meet the different needs of different users for fiber laser cutting machines. Customers in the hardware, kitchen and bathroom industries are mainly applicable to small fiber laser cutting machines; Customers in the advertising, sheet metal and chassis industries generally choose medium-power fiber laser cutting machines; Customers in aviation, aerospace, rail transit, automobile and other industries must choose high-power fiber laser cutting machine. In general, the choice of high-power fiber laser cutting machine depends on the customer's cutting needs.
