In the field of metal sheet cutting, fiber laser cutting machines are undoubtedly the best cutting tools. Many metal processors choose small and medium-sized fiber laser cutting machines when processing thin metal plates within 12mm, because it not only has fast cutting speed, good cutting effect, but also very low cutting cost. However, for metal plates with different thicknesses, different power fiber laser cutting equipment should be selected. For specific selection, you can refer to the cutting parameters of the fiber laser cutting machine.
Cutting 0-3mm stainless steel and 0-5mm carbon steel can choose a 500W fiber laser cutting machine. If the power is lower than this, there may be continuous cutting or burrs on the cutting section, leading to a decrease in product quality and causing trouble for the company's sales; If the power is too high, although the cutting effect is good, it is a bit wasteful and not recommended for enterprises to choose.
For cutting stainless steel with a thickness of 3-4 mm and carbon steel with a thickness of 5-6mm, a 600W fiber laser cutting machine can be chosen, as this power can precisely meet the cutting requirements of the enterprise and has the lowest cost.
To cut 4-6mm stainless steel and 6-10mm carbon steel, a 1000W fiber laser cutting machine can be selected, especially for 6mm stainless steel plates and 10mm carbon steel plates. Only a 1000W fiber laser cutting equipment can achieve effective cutting. If the power is too low, it can affect production efficiency in light cases and damage equipment in severe cases.
The cutting parameters of fiber laser cutting machines produced by different manufacturers are different, but the difference is not significant. When purchasing equipment, metal processors can first compare the parameters of several manufacturers, and then choose the most suitable equipment. This can not only ensure the cutting effect, but also improve the production efficiency of the enterprise and increase its profits.
