Question 3

What Can 1000 Watt CNC Fiber Laser Cutting Machine Cut?

Accepted Answer

1000 watt CNC fiber laser cutting machine cuts the following metals:
1. Stainless steel
Fiber metal laser cutting machine can cut stainless steel with very clean edge.You can use the stainless steel cut by fiber metal laser cutting machine directly to your products, no need to do any more process. Sometimes, you only need to weld it. The cutting speed is also very fast especially on the stainless with thickness less than 8mm. So it is the most popular equipment for cutting stainless steel. The cutting thickness is normally 0.4mm to 12mm depend on the laser power which ranges from 1KW to 12KW. The higher the laser power,the more thickness it can cut. When cutting stainless steel, the machine needs the help of Nitrogen. Nitrogen can help the machine cutting with very clean edge.
2. Mild steel/Carbon steel
Mild steel is also called carbon steel. It is the mostly cut material by metal laser cutting machinery. It is widely used in sheet metal,advertising,sign making industry and so on. The cutting thickness of mild steel is 0.4mm to 25mm depend on laser power. When cutting mild steel,the machine needs the help of Oxygen because Oxygen help the cutting. You can also use Nitrogen for cutting mild steel, but Nitrogen is more expensive than Oxygen.If you do not want to buy Oxygen or Nitrogen, you can use compressed air to help the cutting. If you want to use compressed air,you need to buy an air compressor.
3. Aluminum
Fiber laser cutter is not the 1st choice for cutting aluminum. CNC router can also cut aluminum. But fiber laser cutter cuts aluminum at much faster speed especially at the thickness under 5mm. If you need one machine for cutting steel and aluminum, fiber laser cutter is your best choice.
4. Copper and brass
Fiber laser is best metal cutting machinery for processing copper and brass. Copper and brass are always expensive. Fiber laser cutting has very small cutting gap. That means the waste of cutting is very small.
5. Galvanized sheet
Fiber metal laser cutting machinery for galvanized sheet is same with that for stainless steel. You also need nitrogen for cutting galvanized sheet.

Question 4

What Is The Cost Of 1000W Fiber Laser Machine

Accepted Answer

The cost of 1000W fiber laser machine depends on the following factors:
1. Working size
The most popular working size is 3000mm*1500mm, we also have 1300mm*900mm and so on.
Price for 1300mm*900mm is a little lower.
2. Laser source brand
The laser source can be Raycus,Max,IPG and other brands optional.

Question 5

Question 6

What Areas Needs Laser?

Accepted Answer

Laser is widely used in the following areas:
1. Laser welding: sealing devices such as automobile body sheet, automobile parts, lithium battery, cardiac pacemaker and sealing relay, as well as various devices that do not allow welding pollution and deformation. The lasers used in 2013 include YAG laser, CO2 laser and semiconductor pump laser.

2. Laser cutting: automobile industry, computer, electrical casing, wood knife mold industry, cutting of various metal parts and special materials, circular saw blade, acrylic, spring gasket, copper plate for electronic parts less than 2mm, some metal mesh plates, steel pipes, tinned iron plate, lead plated steel plate, phosphor bronze, electric wood plate, thin aluminum alloy, quartz glass, silicone rubber Alumina ceramic sheet less than 1mm, titanium alloy used in aerospace industry, etc. YAG laser and CO2 laser are used.

3. Laser therapy: it can be used for surgical operation to reduce pain and infection.

4. Laser marking: it is widely used in various materials and almost all industries. The lasers used in 2013 include YAG laser, CO2 laser and semiconductor pump laser.

5. Laser drilling: laser drilling is mainly used in aerospace, automobile manufacturing, electronic instruments, chemical industry and other industries. The rapid development of laser drilling is mainly reflected in the increase of the average output power of YAG laser for drilling from 400W in 2008 to 800W to 1000W. The relatively mature application of laser drilling in China in 2013 is in the production of artificial diamond and natural diamond wire drawing die and the production of gem bearings, aircraft blades, multilayer printed circuit boards and other industries of clocks and instruments. The lasers used in 2013 are mainly YAG lasers and CO2 lasers, as well as some quasi fractional lasers, isotope lasers and semiconductor pump lasers.

6. Laser heat treatment: it is widely used in automobile industry, such as heat treatment of cylinder liner, crankshaft, piston ring, commutator, gear and other parts. At the same time, it is also widely used in aerospace, machine tool industry and other machinery industries. The application of laser heat treatment in China is much wider than that in foreign countries. Most lasers used in 2013 are YAG lasers and CO2 lasers.

7. Laser Rapid Prototyping: it is formed by combining laser processing technology with computer numerical control technology and flexible manufacturing technology. Mostly used in mold and model industry. Most lasers used in 2013 are YAG lasers and CO2 lasers.

8. Laser coating: widely used in aerospace, mold and electromechanical industries. The lasers used in 2013 are mainly high-power YAG lasers and CO2 lasers.

9. Laser imaging: use the laser beam to scan the object and reflect the reflected beam back. The resulting arrangement order is different. The image is reflected by the image drop. Laser imaging has over the horizon detection capability, which can be used for satellite laser scanning imaging and will be used in scientific and technological fields such as remote sensing and mapping in the future.

Question 7

What Is The 3 Main Parts Of Laser Source?

Accepted Answer

It generally includes three parts: working medium, excitation source and resonator

1. Working medium

To generate a laser, a suitable working medium must be used, which can be gas, liquid, solid or semiconductor. In this medium, the particle number inversion can be realized to produce the necessary conditions for emitting laser. At present, there are nearly a thousand kinds of laser working media, which can emit laser wavelengths from ultraviolet to far infrared.

2. Incentive source

In order to reverse the number of particles in the working medium, certain methods must be taken to excite the whole atomic system and increase the number of particles at the upper level. Generally, gas discharge is used to excite dielectric atoms with electrons with kinetic energy, which is called electric excitation; Pulse light source can also be used to irradiate the working medium, which is called optical excitation; There are thermal excitation, chemical excitation and other forms. These excitation methods are visualized as pumping or pumping. In order to continuously obtain the laser output, we must constantly "pump" to maintain the number of particles at the upper level

3. Resonant cavity

With a suitable working medium and excitation source, the particle number inversion is realized, but the intensity of stimulated radiation is still very weak and can not be applied in practice. The function of optical resonator is to amplify. The so-called optical resonator is actually to install two mirrors with high emissivity face-to-face at both ends of the laser, one of which is almost fully reflected, most of the light is reflected, and a small amount is transmitted, so that the laser can be emitted through this mirror. The light reflected back to the working medium continues to induce new stimulated radiation, and the light is amplified. Therefore, the light oscillates back and forth in the resonant cavity, causing a chain reaction. If it is continuously amplified like an avalanche, a strong laser will be generated and emitted from one end of a partial mirror.
