Can a Fiber Laser Cut Metal?

Yes, a fiber laser can cut metal—and it does so with exceptional precision, speed, and efficiency. ファイバレーザ切断機s have revolutionized metal fabrication, offering superior performance compared to traditional CO₂ lasers and mechanical cutting methods.

How Does a Fiber Laser Cut Metal?

Fiber lasers use a high-intensity laser beam generated through optical fibers doped with rare-earth elements like ytterbium. This laser beam is focused onto the metal surface, melting or vaporizing the material with extreme accuracy. The process is highly efficient because fiber lasers concentrate energy more effectively than CO₂ lasers, making them ideal for cutting reflective metals like aluminum, copper, and brass.Key Advantages of Fiber Laser Cutting for Metal

1. High Precision & Clean Cuts

Fiber lasers produce extremely fine cuts with minimal kerf width, allowing for intricate designs and tight tolerances. This makes them perfect for industries requiring detailed metal parts, such as aerospace, automotive, and electronics.

2. Faster Cutting Speeds

Fiber lasers operate at higher speeds than CO₂ lasers, significantly reducing production time. For example, a Roclas fiber laser cutting machine can cut thin sheets of stainless steel or aluminum at speeds exceeding 30 meters per minute.

3. エネルギー効率

Fiber lasers consume less power than CO₂ lasers, lowering operational costs. Their solid-state design also means fewer moving parts, reducing maintenance requirements.

4. Versatility in Metal Cutting

Fiber lasers can cut a wide range of metals, including

- Stainless steel (up to 30mm thickness)

- Carbon steel (up to 25mm)

- Aluminum (up to 20mm)

- Copper & brass (up to 12mm)

5. Minimal Material Waste

The precision of fiber lasers reduces material waste, making them cost-effective for high-volume production.
