How To Choose Aluminum CNC Fiber Laser Cutting Machine?

There are 3 kinds of CNC machines can cut aluminum:

1. CNC router

CNC router is the traditional machine for cutting aluminum. It cuts aluminum by knife.CNC router can also cut acrylic,PVC,wood and so on. By one machine,you can cut many materials.The cutting is easy and edge is fine.The only problem is the speed is slower.

2. CNC plasma cutting machine

CNC plasma cutting machine cuts steel,aluminum and other materials. It can also cut very thick material if it is equipped with arc voltage adjusting controller. The only problem is it can not give you a very clean cutting edge.

3. Fiber laser cutting machine

CNC fiber laser cutting machine is the advanced cutting machine and becoming more and more popular.When cutting aluminum,the speed is much faster and the precision is much higher. A fiber laser cutter also cuts stainless steel,carbon steel,copper and so on. The maintenance cost of fiber laser is lower and it almost do not have consumable parts except some spare and cheap parts. Once you buy a fiber laser cutting machine,you can use it many years almost no need to put big money on it.That is why more and more customers choose it. But a fiber laser is much more expensive than CNC router,you need to spend some money at the beginning when you buying it. By the way, fiber laser is not easy to cut aluminum more than 8mm. If you cut same thickness aluminum as that for steel,please choose higher laser power.

Above is all the differences between the aluminum cnc cutting machines.CNC router can engrave and cut aluminum but speed is lower and precision is just so so. Plasma cutting machine can cut thick metal,but the precision is not good. Now,more and more people choose fiber laser cutting machine to cut aluminum because it can give you much better edge and faster cutting speed.
