Difference between fiber and co2 laser cutting machine
What’s the ultimate laser for your application – should I choose Fiber laser , also known as Solid State Laser (SSL), or a CO2 laser ? Answer: It depends on the type and thickness of the material you are cutting. Why?: Due to the rate at which the material absorbs the laser. You need to choose the right laser for your application. The absorption rate is influenced by the wavelength of the laser and also the angle of incidence . CO2 Laser Highlights Quality – Quality is consistent throughout all thicknesses of material. Flexibility – high, suitable for all material thicknesses. Safety – CO2 laser light (10µm) is better absorbed by the machine frame, which lowers the risk of irreparable damage to the retina. Personnel should not look directly at the cutting process through the acrylic pane in the door as the bright plasma also presents a risk to sight over a period of time. (Similar to looking at the sun.) Beam guida...
