What Affects the Performance of Fiber Laser Cutter Machine?

The factors that affect fiber laser cutting machine performance include laser generator, light path, air cock, auxiliary gas, cutting parameters and materials.

Laser generatorModelSingle-mode, multimode, low mode are suitable for thin plate cutting, high-modulus is suitable for thick plate cutting
PowerThe cutting performance is decided by the laser power
Light pathCollimating mirrorThe larger collimation, the smaller focusing spot,the higher focused energy, the shorter focal dept,is not suitable for cutting thick plate,usually use F=75mm,F=100mm
Focusing lensthe smaller focusing lens, the larger focusing spot,short of focal depth,is suitable for cutting thin plate,usually use F=150mm,F=200mm
Air cockGas mouth shapeEffect the speed of the cutting point airflow
Gas mouth size1.0-2.0mm different thickness of plate,choose different size of gas mouth
Gas mouth heightEffect airflow, then effect the final cutting result
Auxiliary gasDry,oily degreesEffect on laser energy
Gas purityOxygen purity 2% lower,cutting speed lower50%
Gas flowSize of flow,effect the cutting speed and effect on the back
Gas pressureThe pressure, effect cutting speed meter edge effectivness
Cutting parametersCutting speedThe speed, pressure, laser power, all effect the cutting results
Height of focusDepth of focus determines the work positionof focus on different thickness of the plate
Cutting materialsThickness of plate0.1-12mm thickness plate,affect the efficiency and effectiveness
Melting point of materialmelting point,affect the cutting effectiveness
Material absorptivity of laserThe material absorptance of laser ( 1.64um )
