What is fiber laser cutting machine?
Fiber laser cutting machines have rapidly become one of the most popular and widely used cutting technologies in the manufacturing and industrial sectors. These machines are designed to provide high-precision cutting and engraving of various materials including metals, plastics, and even textiles.
Function of Fiber Laser Cutting Machines
Fiber laser cutting machines use a focused laser beam to effectively melt, burn or vaporize the material being cut or engraved. The high-powered laser beam is generated by excited particles that are activated by an excitation source. The beam is then directed onto the surface of the material, which is typically held down by a machine bed or clamp. As the laser beam moves over the material, it removes layers of the material, creating a cut.
Advantage of Fiber Laser cutting machine for metal
Fiber laser cutting machines offer several advantages over other cutting technologies, including:
- High precision: The beam diameter of a fiber laser is typically smaller than that of a CO2 laser or plasma cutter, which allows for more precise cutting. Fiber lasers are capable of cutting at higher precision and accuracy. The high beam quality allows for greater control over the cutting process, ensuring clean and accurate cuts.
- Fast Cutting speed: Fiber lasers generate a high-powered beam that allows for rapid cutting and speed , making them ideal for high volume production runs,offer a higher cutting speed, reducing the processing time significantly. This helps in improving productivity and reducing lead time.
- Low maintenance: Fiber lasers have fewer moving parts and do not require regular maintenance or replacement of consumable parts like CO2 lasers or plasma cutters
Applications of Fiber Laser Cutting Machines.

How does a sheet metal laser cutting machine work?
1. The laser beam is focused into a very small spot (its minimum diameter can be less than 0.1mm), so that the spot reaches a very high power density. The material under the spot is quickly heated to the vaporization temperature, evaporates to form holes, and follows the speed of light. The materials move relative to each other, making the holes continuous and forming narrow slits.
2. The optical fiber cutting machine focuses on the surface of the workpiece, causing the area on the workpiece illuminated by the ultra-fine focus light spot to instantly melt and vaporize, and realize automatic cutting by moving the light spot irradiation position through the CNC mechanical system.

Cautions for use of Fiber Laser Cutting Machine
1. Please ensure that the power socket is in good contact and the ground wire is reliably grounded!
2. Please ensure that the working voltage of the chiller is stable and normal!
Since refrigeration compressors are sensitive to power supply voltage, the normal working voltage of our company's standard products is 200~250V (110V model is 100~130V). If a wider operating voltage range is indeed required, it can be customized separately.
3. Mismatch in power frequency may cause damage to the machine!
Please use the 50Hz or 60Hz model according to the actual situation.
4. To protect the circulating water pump, it is strictly prohibited to operate without water!
The water storage tank is drained before packing the new machine. Please make sure that the water tank is filled with water before starting the machine, otherwise the water pump will be easily damaged. When the water level in the water tank is below the green (NORMAL) range of the water level gauge, the cooling capacity of the cooler will decrease slightly. Please ensure that the water level in the water tank is within the green (NORMAL) range of the water level gauge. It is strictly prohibited to use circulation pump for drainage!
5. Please ensure that the air inlet and outlet channels of the chiller are smooth!
The air outlet on the chiller must be at least 1250px away from obstacles, and the air inlet on the side must be at least 500px away from obstacles.
6. The filter at the air inlet must be cleaned regularly!
The dust filter must be disassembled and cleaned regularly. Serious blockage of the dust filter may cause the chiller to malfunction.
7. Please pay attention to the impact of condensation water!
When the water temperature is lower than the ambient temperature and the ambient humidity is high, condensation water will be generated on the surface of the circulating water pipe and the device being cooled. When the above situation occurs, it is recommended to increase the water temperature or insulate the water pipes and the components to be cooled.
