This ability makes precision laser cutting applications a viable alternative to miniature mechanical precision turning and machining equipment.

A fiber laser system is a solid-state laser that produces a narrow beam with a very high intensity. The laser can be operated in continuous mode and this ability improves the quality of the surface finish on the final component. The laser has the ability to cut thin materials at high linear speeds. It has a compact design and does not require complex optics. Fiber lasers are very stable and have low maintenance requirements.

1. Materials That Can Be Cut

The intense narrow light beam of a fiber laser allows it to cut materials that are usually difficult to cut with conventional laser systems. These include highly reflective metals such as copper, precious metals such as silver and gold, ceramics and plastics. Other materials that can be cut include mild steel, high strength steels, stainless steel, titanium, and platinum.

2. High Tolerances

The fiber laser cutting machine is capable of achieving an accuracy of one thousandths of an inch (0.02mm). The continuous nature of the light beam eliminates the slight roughness often apparent with pulsed lasers and requires no maintenance or adjustment, which ensures repeatability. The 4-axis motion control mechanism uses servo motors for positioning and has a reticulating ball transmission that’s adjustable to eliminate mechanical play.

It’s important to note that tolerances for laser cutting applications are affected by material softness and melting point, especially when processing softer precious metals.

3. Productivity

Although the fiber laser metal cutting machine has the ability to cut and machine to tight tolerances, productivity is high as the laser is capable of cutting at speeds of up to 8 inches per second (200mm/s). Overall productivity depends upon the thickness of the material being cut, its characteristics, and the complexity of the cut required.

4. Specialized Applications

Laser cutting and machining is the first step in the manufacture of complex components for many industries including the medical device, automotive, aerospace, jewelry and general manufacturing industries that require small and micro components.

Examples of component parts that can be produced include:

  • Medical Devices: Various medical device and component parts crafted from titanium, platinum, and ceramics.
  • Automotive: various component parts used in the assembly of automobiles.
  • Electronics: Semi-Conductor chips.
  • Watch and Clock Components: laser cutting can be used to make escapement wheels, shafts, and gears.
  • Jewelry Manufacturing: monograms, necklaces, and earrings made with precious metals.

5. Almost Unlimited Opportunities

Fiber laser cutting applications open many avenues for complex machining and cutting of an almost unlimited variety of materials. Important characteristics such as the excellent finish, good edge detail, and extremely high tolerances create opportunities for cost-effective manufacture of parts and components that compare well with traditional methods.

Why choose a CNC fiber laser machine?

The ideal option for a fiber laser cutting machine manufacturer who needs to replicate goods is to get the CNC fiber laser cutting machine by Stealth Machine Tools. This machine is operated with advanced computer technology and uses a high precision, efficient, and reliable concentrated beam of laser light according to pre-determined specifications, focussed through a small point in the lens onto the material, to cut it precisely.

Cutting Capability:

CNC fiber laser cutting machines can cut through different materials and metals of materials from thin to thick plates. They are suitable for cutting different thicknesses of stainless aluminium, steel, carbon steel, brass, copper, and other non-ferrous metals.

Precision and Speed:

Fiber laser beams are “unique” because of their fast speed and exceptional precise cuts. They are very accurate in cutting, enabling the designing of complex shapes and intricate designs. The high speed helps improve productivity to a great extent and reduces production time.

Why do manufacturers prefer a CNC machine?

The fiber laser cutting machine manufacturer prefers a CNC-controlled or Computer numerical control machine. With detailed instructions, this machine produces specific cutting shapes with high precision. Repetition and automation become easy in the accurate and consistent cut pieces.

Before choosing a fiber laser machine, what should we do?

  1. Machine specifications: Before choosing the machine, examine the technical specifications such as thickness capacity, power rating, cutting speed, and cutting area. These affect the machine’s performance and must be considered before choosing it. You should pick the machine that suits the materials and metals you intend to cut.
  2. Quality and power of laser source: Fiber optic cables are used in the laser cutting machine to emit and transfer laser light. The quality and power of the source emitting the laser beam affect the cutting process and precision. Low-power lasers are ideal for thinner materials, and high-powered ones work efficiently on thicker ones.
  3. Cutting quality of the laser: Before paying for the machine, manufacturers must review a sample cut and check the laser power. The documentation of the manufacturer’s expertise and cutting quality are a priority. Moreover, minimal heat-affected zones, smooth edges, intricate design, precision, accuracy, control system, and beam stability must be considered before procuring a fiber laser cutter.
  4. Reliability and maintenance: Equipment that requires a lot of maintenance is unreliable and can increase the associated costs. A reliable machine requiring less maintenance is durable, so getting a machine with sufficient technical support and plenty of spare parts from the supplier are important.

People always prefer a machine that has a long lifespan and does not need many replacements. Evaluate these factors before purchasing! Why not check out the innovative machines by Stealth Machine Tools?
