Fiber laser cutting can process a wide range of materials, primarily focusing on metals but also extending to some non-metals. Commonly cut materials include:
-
Metals:
-
Stainless steel
-
Carbon steel
-
Aluminum
-
Copper
-
Brass
-
Titanium
-
Nickel alloys
-
Tool steel
-
-
Non-Metals (with varying success, often requiring
-
Limitations:
-
Highly reflective materials (e.g., polished copper or silver) can challenge standard fiber lasers, though modern systems with adaptive optics handle these better.
-
The suitability depends on material thickness, laser power, and specific machine capabilities. Fiber lasers excel with thin to medium-thickness metals (up to ~30mm for steel, depending on wattage) and are less effective for very thick or highly brittle materials compared to alternatives like waterjet or plasma cutting.
Fiber laser cutting technology utilizes a high-powered laser beam, generated through optical fibers, to precisely cut through materials like metals, plastics, and composites. Its advantages over other 2D cutting technologies, such as plasma or waterjet cutting, include superior precision, faster cutting speeds, and minimal material waste due to a narrow kerf width.
Fiber lasers offer high-quality cuts with smooth edges, reducing the need for post-processing. They are also energy-efficient and require less maintenance than CO2 lasers or mechanical cutting systems. While the initial investment for fiber laser systems can be higher, their lower operating costs, durability, and versatility across materials make them cost-effective for high-volume production. Compared to plasma (less precise, rougher edges) or waterjet (slower, higher consumable costs), fiber lasers provide a balance of quality, speed, and long-term affordability.
