If you think you need this machine for your industry or you are just curious about this technology, this is the complete guide that would fulfil your need.

What is Laser Cutting and How does it Work?

Figure 1 Laser Cutting Process

As the name suggest, laser cutting is the process of cutting material by using the laser technology.

The tool normally used in this process is a fiber laser cutting machine.

This machine sprays high density laser beam which is able to vaporize hard material such as metal.

The spraying laser then would move to certain point or certain pattern on the surface of the material based on the machine initial setting.

Finally, it would create a narrow slit and refined cut on the material.

What is Fiber Laser?

Figure 2 Fiber laser

A fiber laser is a high density laser that uses an optical fiber in its active gain medium.

The optical fiber is combined with rare elements such as as erbium, ytterbium, neodymium, dysprosium, praseodymium, thulium and holmium to intensify the beam light generating from the power.

This type of laser is generally used for manufacturing purposes as it is powerful enough to cut hard material such as metal

How Accurate is a Fiber Laser Cutting Machine?
