CO2 Laser Cutting Machine And Fiber Laser Cutter Cost!
The process and cost comparison between CO2 laser cutting machine and fiber laser cutting machine,The fiber laser cutting machine is a milestone in the development of the third-generation laser technology. It has the characteristics of small-scale intensification, high electro-optical conversion rate, dust immunity, and air-cooled cooling. The difference in the working principles of the two of them differentiates their own unique advantages.
We know that the working materials of the two are not the same, and IGOLDEN editor has mentioned the concept of "working material" before: CO2 laser cutting machine is formed by the excitation of CO2 gas and the focus of the complex optical lens inside the laser head. Laser beam: The working substance of the fiber laser cutting machine is solid rare earth elements (the main component is silicon dioxide), and the pump light (issued by the pump diode) is excited by the glass fiber, and finally forms the laser beam through the fiber coupler. The difference in this working principle leads to differences in the laser volume, photoelectric conversion rate, size affected by the working environment, work efficiency, and selection of the cutting material range of the two.
Large Size CO2 laser cutting machine, the standard worktable size is 1300*2500, equip with 150w/180w/260w/300w laser tube, satified the engraving and cutting requirements of large plate such as S.S sheet, C.S sheet, wood sheet, acrylic sheet and so on.
Due to the cumbersome combination of optical lenses and the interleaving of optical paths inside the resonant cavity of the CO2 laser cutting machine, the volume of the laser is relatively large. In addition, there will be a loss of light and energy when the laser propagates in the resonant cavity-the photoelectric conversion rate is low; secondly, because the optical lens must be clean and tidy, the laser itself also needs the sealing of the machine gun, otherwise the ingress of dust will cause lower Photoelectric conversion rate. Under normal circumstances, the photoelectric conversion rate of CO2 laser cutting machine is about 10%-15%, which is 15% lower than that of fiber laser. The fiber laser does not need a lens inside, as long as the coupler gains the laser, and the beam is enclosed in the fiber material, which is closed propagation, relatively speaking, its working environment requirements are not strict.
Moreover, the difference in the working materials of the two (pump diode & carbon dioxide) makes the cutting selection range very different. The CO2 laser will be completely reflected by the copper material and will not be absorbed. Therefore, copper cannot be cut, but fiber laser cutting can. The defect of fiber laser cutting is that it cannot cut non-metallic materials and sheets with a coating on the surface of the material.
Next, it came to the old saying-cutting rate. The critical point for the interchange of cutting advantages between the fiber laser cutting machine and the CO2 laser cutting machine is the 6mm sheet: when cutting 3mm sheets, the quality of the fiber cutting rate machine is significantly higher than that of the CO2 cutting. In a word, it is very advantageous; when it is more than 3mm, The advantages of CO2 cutting will gradually appear new, but the advantages are not obvious.
Finally, IGOLDEN Laser will explain to you the point that consumers are more willing to pay attention to-cutting cost data analysis. According to related information, the cost comparison analysis of the two is as follows (take 5mm steel plate as an example):
According to the annual base of equipment (the actual working hours of each equipment per year) is 3860h (that is, the equipment works 10.7h per day). The figure shows that the operating cost of fiber cutting is 4 dollars per hour, and the cost of CO2 cutting is 4,2 dollars; the cost of fiber cutting is 0.075 dollars/meter, which is 0.2 dollars/meter lower than that of CO2 cutting.
