Frequently Asked Questions

What Are Fiber Laser Cutting Machines?
The fiber laser cutting machine is a type of industrial tool used for cutting a variety of materials, primarily metals. It utilizes a high-powered fiber laser generator to create intense heat, which melts or vaporizes the material being cut. The machine directs the laser beam through a series of mirrors and lenses, focusing it onto the surface of the material with extreme precision.
One of the key components of fiber laser cutting machines is the fiber laser generator itself. Unlike traditional CO2 laser generators, which use gases to generate the laser beam, fiber laser generators use optical fibers doped with rare-earth elements like erbium, ytterbium, or neodymium. This design allows for higher efficiency, greater reliability, and lower maintenance requirements.
Fiber laser cutting machines are highly versatile and can cut through a wide range of materials, including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, and various alloys. They are commonly used in industries such as manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, electronics, and construction for tasks like cutting sheet metal, pipes, tubes, and structural components.
These machines offer several advantages over other cutting methods, including faster cutting speeds, higher precision, cleaner cuts, reduced energy consumption, and lower operating costs. Additionally, they can be easily automated and integrated into production lines, making them ideal for high-volume manufacturing environments.
The working principle of fiber laser cutting machines involves several key components working together to deliver precise and efficient cutting of materials. Here’s a simplified overview of the process:

  • Generation of Laser Beam: The process begins with the generation of a high-powered laser beam within the fiber laser resonator. This resonator contains an optical fiber doped with rare-earth elements such as erbium, ytterbium, or neodymium. When stimulated by an external energy source (often diode lasers), these elements emit photons, creating the laser beam.
  • Beam Delivery System: The laser beam is then guided through a series of mirrors and lenses within the machine’s beam delivery system. This system directs and focuses the laser beam onto the surface of the material to be cut.
  • Material Interaction: When the focused laser beam strikes the material, it delivers a high concentration of energy to a small area, causing localized heating. Depending on the material and laser parameters, this heat can either melt or vaporize the material.
  • Cutting Process: As the material absorbs the laser energy, it undergoes physical changes. For example, metals may melt or vaporize, while non-metallic materials may simply burn or evaporate. The motion system of the machine (comprising motors, drive systems, and CNC controls) precisely guides the laser beam along the desired cutting path, allowing for intricate shapes and contours to be cut with high accuracy.
  • Assist Gas: In many cases, an assist gas, such as oxygen, nitrogen, or air, is used during the cutting process. This gas helps to remove molten material from the kerf (the cut path) and prevents the formation of slag, resulting in cleaner cuts.
  • Cooling and Exhaust: The process generates heat, so cooling systems are employed to prevent overheating of critical components like the laser source and optics. Additionally, exhaust systems remove fumes and particles generated during cutting to maintain a safe working environment.
  • Control and Monitoring: Throughout the cutting process, the machine’s control system continuously monitors various parameters, such as laser power, cutting speed, and gas pressure, to ensure optimal performance and quality.

By combining these elements, fiber laser cutting machines can precisely cut through a wide range of materials with high speed, accuracy, and efficiency, making them indispensable tools in various manufacturing industries.
The cost of fiber laser cutting machines can vary widely depending on several factors such as the machine’s power output, cutting area size, brand, features, and additional accessories. Generally, smaller machines with lower power output and cutting area size will be less expensive than larger, more powerful models.
The price range for fiber laser cutting machines typically starts at around $12,500 to $34,000 for entry-level models with lower power outputs and smaller cutting areas. Mid-range machines with more features and higher power outputs may range from $50,000 to $100,000. High-end industrial-grade machines with larger cutting areas, higher power outputs, advanced features, and automation can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
It’s important to note that in addition to the initial purchase price, there may be additional costs associated with installation, training, maintenance, and ongoing operational expenses such as electricity and consumables like laser cutting gases and replacement parts. If you would like to obtain the most accurate pricing information you can contact AccTek Laser at any time. We can provide quotes based on specific requirements and custom options.
Fiber laser cutting machines are indeed primarily used for cutting metal, and their cutting thickness capability for metal materials varies depending on factors like laser power, material type, and machine specifications. Here are some approximate thickness ranges for common metals cut with fiber laser machines:

  • Carbon Steel: Fiber laser cutting machines can typically cut carbon steel up to several inches thick, depending on the machine’s power. For example, machines with higher power outputs can cut thicker carbon steel sections more efficiently.
  • Stainless Steel: Similar to carbon steel, fiber laser cutting machines can cut stainless steel up to several inches thick, again depending on the laser power and specific material properties.
  • Aluminum: Aluminum is also commonly cut with fiber laser machines. The thickness capability for aluminum is generally similar to carbon steel and stainless steel, with machines capable of cutting aluminum sections several inches thick.
  • Other Metals: Fiber lasers can also cut other metals such as copper, brass, titanium, and various alloys. The cutting thickness for these metals can vary depending on their properties, but fiber laser machines can typically handle a wide range of thicknesses for these materials as well.

It’s important to note that the cutting thickness capability may vary between different models and brands of fiber laser cutting machines. Additionally, achieving optimal cutting results may require adjusting cutting parameters such as laser power, cutting speed, and assist gas settings based on the specific material and thickness being cut. If you want to get accurate information on the cutting thickness capabilities of your fiber laser cutting machine, you can always consult AccTek Laser.
While laser cutting offers many advantages, such as high precision, speed, and versatility, it also has some disadvantages. Here are a few common drawbacks associated with laser cutting:

  • High Initial Cost: Laser-cutting machines can be expensive to purchase and install, especially high-power fiber lasers. Additionally, the cost of maintenance, replacement parts, and consumables can add to the overall investment.
  • Material Limitations: While laser cutting is highly effective for cutting metals and some non-metallic materials, it may not be suitable for all materials. Certain materials, such as reflective metals like copper and aluminum, can be challenging to cut with conventional laser systems due to their high reflectivity.
  • Heat Affected Zone (HAZ): Laser cutting generates heat, which can result in a heat-affected zone (HAZ) along the edges of the cut. In some applications, this heat-affected zone may affect the material properties, such as hardness or microstructure, especially in heat-sensitive materials.
  • Thickness Limitations: While fiber lasers can cut through relatively thick materials, there are practical limitations to the thickness of the material that can be cut efficiently. Thicker materials may require multiple passes or slower cutting speeds, which can reduce productivity and increase processing time.
  • Operating Costs: Laser-cutting machines consume electricity, assist gases (such as oxygen, nitrogen, or air), and require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance. These operating costs can add up over time, particularly in high-volume production environments.
  • Safety Concerns: Laser cutting involves the use of high-powered lasers, which can pose safety risks if not operated correctly. Proper safety measures, including training, protective equipment, and machine guarding, can minimize the risk of accident or injury.
  • Environmental Impact: The process of laser cutting may produce fumes, particulates, and potentially hazardous emissions, depending on the material being cut. Proper ventilation and filtration systems are necessary to mitigate environmental impact and ensure a safe working environment.

Despite these disadvantages, laser cutting remains a highly effective and widely used technology in various industries due to its ability to achieve precise, complex cuts with high efficiency. Many of these drawbacks can be mitigated through proper equipment selection, process optimization, and adherence to safety protocols.
Yes, ventilation is typically required when using fiber laser cutting machines. Laser-cutting processes, including those with fiber lasers, can produce fumes, gases, and particulates, especially when cutting certain materials such as metals and plastics. Proper ventilation eliminates these emissions from the cutting area, ensuring a safe and healthy working environment for operators and maintaining the integrity of the equipment. Here are a few reasons why ventilation is necessary when using a fiber laser cutting machine:

  • Fume Extraction: Laser cutting can produce fumes and smoke as the material is heated and vaporized by the laser beam. These fumes may contain hazardous substances, such as metal oxides or volatile organic compounds (VOCs), depending on the material being cut. Ventilation systems help capture and remove these fumes, preventing them from accumulating in the workspace and potentially posing health risks to operators.
  • Particulate Removal: Laser cutting can also generate fine particulates or dust, especially when cutting materials like metals or composites. These particulates can pose respiratory hazards and may accumulate on surfaces, machinery, and equipment if not properly ventilated. Ventilation systems with appropriate filtration can help remove these particulates from the air, maintaining a cleaner and safer working environment.
  • Temperature Regulation: In addition to removing fumes and particulates, ventilation systems can help regulate temperature and humidity levels in the cutting area. Effective ventilation can prevent overheating and ensure comfortable working conditions for operators, which is particularly important in enclosed or confined spaces.
  • Equipment Protection: Proper ventilation can also help protect sensitive components of the laser cutting machine, such as optics, electronics, and cooling systems, from exposure to airborne contaminants. By reducing the accumulation of dust and debris within the machine, ventilation systems can help maintain optimal performance and prolong the lifespan of critical components.

Ventilation is an essential aspect of safe and efficient operation when using fiber laser cutting machines. It’s important to consult the machine manufacturer’s guidelines and local regulations regarding ventilation requirements for laser cutting processes and to implement appropriate ventilation systems to ensure compliance and protect the health and safety of operators.
The service life of fiber laser generators, like any other machine component, can vary depending on several factors, including:

  • Quality of Components: The quality of the laser generator and its components significantly influences its service life. Higher-quality components, such as laser diodes, optical fibers, and resonator modules, tend to have longer lifespans and better reliability.
  • Operating Conditions: The operating conditions in which the fiber laser generator is used can impact its service life. Factors such as temperature, humidity, vibration, and dust levels can affect the performance and longevity of the generator. Proper maintenance, including regular cleaning and inspection, can help prolong its service life.
  • Maintenance Practices: Regular maintenance and upkeep help ensure optimal performance and longevity of your fiber laser generator. This includes cleaning optical components, checking for alignment issues, replacing worn parts, and monitoring key parameters such as laser power and beam quality.
  • Duty Cycle: The duty cycle, or the ratio of the laser’s operating time to its cooldown time, can affect the generator’s service life. Operating the laser within its specified duty cycle limits helps prevent overheating and premature wear of components.
  • Usage Patterns: The frequency and intensity of use also play a role in determining the service life of fiber laser generators. Continuous operation at high power levels may lead to faster degradation of components compared to intermittent or lower-power usage.

Generally, high-quality fiber laser generators manufactured by reputable companies can have service lives ranging from 20,000 to 100,000 hours or more of operation before significant degradation occurs. However, it’s essential to note that individual experiences may vary, and factors such as proper maintenance, operating conditions, and usage patterns can significantly influence the actual service life of the generator.
The gas used in fiber laser cutting machines depends on the material being cut and the specific cutting process. The most common gases used in laser cutting are:

  • Oxygen (O2): Oxygen is commonly used when cutting ferrous metals such as mild steel and stainless steel. When the laser beam interacts with the metal surface in the presence of oxygen, it oxidizes the material, resulting in an exothermic reaction that helps facilitate the cutting process. Oxygen also helps to blow away molten metal and assist in the combustion process, improving cutting efficiency and edge quality.
  • Nitrogen (N2): Nitrogen is often used as an assist gas when cutting non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper, brass, and titanium. Unlike oxygen, nitrogen does not react chemically with these metals. Instead, it serves primarily as a coolant and helps to prevent oxidation and discoloration of the cut edges. Nitrogen is also used for cutting materials where a clean, oxide-free surface is desired, such as in electronics or medical device manufacturing.
  • Air: Compressed air can also be used as an assist gas in laser cutting. It can also be used as a low-cost alternative to nitrogen when cutting non-ferrous metals, although it may not provide the same level of edge quality or protection against oxidation.

The choice of gas and its parameters (such as pressure and flow rate) depends on factors such as the material type, thickness, cutting speed, and desired edge quality. Some fiber laser cutting machines offer the flexibility to use multiple gases, allowing operators to optimize cutting performance for different materials and applications. Additionally, gas selection may be influenced by factors such as cost, availability, and environmental considerations.
