The core component of a fiber laser cutting machine is the laser, and the power of the laser determines the range of cutting thickness of the equipment. Usually, when choosing a fiber laser cutting machine, the corresponding power size is matched according to the material to be processed. How can we choose the appropriate power for multiple specifications on the market?

When choosing a fiber laser cutting machine, two factors need to be considered. Firstly, the equipment power can meet its cutting needs; Secondly, whether the price meets one's budget. The power of a laser cutting machine is one of the core parameters of the equipment, as long as it can meet the requirements, there is no need to blindly pursue high power.

The material cut by the fiber laser cutting machine is metal, mainly including stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum plate, brass, etc. The higher the equipment power, the thicker the cutting thickness. The power size mainly depends on the laser. Generally, 6000W and above are referred to as high power in the market, power between 3000W-6000W is referred to as medium power, and power below 3000W is referred to as low power. From the current market demand, laser cutting machines with a power of 6000W and below can meet the cutting needs of the vast majority of customers. These equipment are also widely used, and the higher the power of the equipment, the faster it can cut the same material. However, an important factor in measuring the price of laser cutting machines is the power of the laser.

When cutting thin metal, low-power equipment is completely sufficient, such as 3mm stainless steel plate, using 3000W power equipment for air cutting. Not only is the cutting speed fast, but the cutting quality is also very fine, saving costs while maintaining accuracy. Therefore, when choosing a laser cutting machine, it is necessary to make a reasonable choice based on your own material, material thickness, etc., and not blindly pursue high power. Of course, if your processing plate has both thick and thin plates, and there is a high demand for production capacity, a high-power laser cutting machine within the price range that you can afford is also a better choice. By adjusting the cutting speed appropriately and replacing auxiliary gases, high-power laser cutting machines can also control the cutting quality well when cutting thinner sheets.
