WHAT IS A CNC FIBER LASER CUTTING MACHINE ?

CNC laser cutting is a non-contact, thermal-based process. A CNC laser cutter features alaser head containing a laser focusing lens and a nozzle. Through the nozzle, this headand lens assembly focuses a laser beam a column of very high-intensity light on theworkpiece, melting and cutting the workpiece to form the desired shape.CNC lasers employ compressed gas (also flowing through the nozzle that ejects the laserbeam) to cool the focusing lens and expel the vaporized metal out of the workpiece.Look at it this way. When you focus a high-powered laser beam at a point on a metallicsurface, the heat density at that point becomes high, resulting in rapid heating and partial(or complete) vaporization of that point on the metal. CNC technology then controls thesequence of movements of this laser head and laser beam on the work surface to form thedesired custom shapes and features.Fiber laser cutters are a more recent laser technology that uses a bank of diodes to createthe beam, which is focused through a fiber-optic cable. Fiber laser cutters allow you toachieve a faster and cleaner cutting process, especially in materials with a thickness ofless than 5 mm. 

FEATURES OF CNC FIBER LASER CUTTING MACHINE: 

No Material Dust: 

The material removed by the laser cutting machine is melted andremoved away. Therefore, there is no generation of dust. This creates a cleanworkspace.

No Cutting Tool: 

A fiber laser does not have a physical cutting tool and is notfriction-based. Therefore, you don’t have to deal with frequent tool wear andreplacements.

High Precision: 

The accuracy of the laser cutting process is second to none. It is themost precise cutting technology due to the extremely thin profile of the laser light.

Versatility: 

A fiber laser system can cut any material, whether a conductor orinsulator. Therefore, it is highly versatile without requiring different tooling orequipment for different materials

Automation: 

Fiber laser machines can be integrated with automated systems suchas

Computer Numerical Control (CNC).:

This means the programs can control themachine’s movements without manual intervention.Energy Efficiency: The energy requirements of a fiber laser machine areconsiderably lower than other cutting machines. This makes it a very energyefficient cutting solution.

Speed: 

A fiber laser cutting machine can cut material at a speed as fast as 3 metersper minute. This leads to high productivity.

Operating Costs: 

A fiber laser cutting machine has no tooling requirements andminimal running costs. This keeps the operating costs to a minimum.
