Before buying a fiber metal laser cutting machinery, you may want to know all the materials it can process. Let us talk about the materials one by one.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Fiber metal laser cutting machinery for galvanized sheet is same with that for stainless steel. You also need nitrogen for cutting galvanized sheet.
You can tell XD laser all the materials you need to cut and the thickness. XD laser will help you to choose the best suitable laser cutter.
