Three basic pieces of information about fiber laser cutting machines

In the current processing industry, it is common to use laser cutting machines for processing. Laser cutting is the most important application technology in the laser processing industry, accounting for more than 70% of the entire laser processing industry. Laser cutting is currently the world's advanced cutting technology. Due to its advantages of precision manufacturing, high speed and high efficiency, it has solved many problems in industrial production that cannot be solved by conventional methods.

1.operating principle

A fiber laser (or fibre laser in Commonwealth English) is a laser in which the active gain medium is an optical fiber doped with rare-earth elements such as erbium, ytterbium, neodymium, dysprosium, praseodymium, thulium and holmium. They are related to doped fiber amplifiers, which provide light amplification without lasing.

2.Characteristics

An advantage of fiber lasers over other types of lasers is that the laser light is both generated and delivered by an inherently flexible medium, which allows easier delivery to the focusing location and target. This can be important for laser cutting, welding, and folding of metals and polymers. Another advantage is high output power compared to other types of laser. They can support kilowatt levels of continuous output power because of the fiber's high surface area to volume ratio, which allows efficient cooling. The fiber's waveguide properties reduce or eliminate thermal distortion of the optical path, typically producing a diffraction-limited, high-quality optical beam. Fiber lasers are compact compared to solid-state or gas lasers of comparable power, because the fiber can be bent and coiled, except in the case of thicker rod-type designs, to save space. They have lower cost of ownership. Fiber lasers are reliable and exhibit high temperature and vibrational stability and extended lifetime.

3.Application

• Sheet metal working industry

Due to the high level of fiber laser cutting flexibility, fast cutting speed, high cutting efficiency, good cutting results and short product cycle time, it is immediately promoted in the sheet metal processing industry.

• Automotive industry

Some parts, such as car doors, exhaust pipes, etc., after processing and molding will leave some excess corners or burrs, which is difficult to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of manual processing. If the fiber laser cutting machine is used for processing, the problem of edges and burrs can be easily solved in batch.

• Fitness equipment

Fitness equipment are basically spliced by the tube class materials, the use of fiber laser cutting machines can be more quickly cut and processed to complete the production and assembly of fitness equipment.

• Aeronautics and aviation

Laser manufacturing technology is an important part in the field of aerospace manufacturing technology. Laser cutting and processing technology is now widely used in accessories, components and other parts of airplanes and space rockets.

• Kitchenware manufacturing industry

When processing kitchenware products, the cutting speed of laser processing equipment is extremely fast and the cutting fineness is extremely high. This not only greatly improves the production and processing efficiency, but also effectively improves the finished product rate of hoods and burners.
