Cutting thickness analysis of Laser Cutting Machine with different power

fiber laser cutting machine is a laser cutting machine using fiber laser generator as a light source.
Fiber laser is a new type of fiber laser output high energy density laser beam, and gathered on the surface of the metal workpiece,
so that the workpiece is irradiated by ultra-fine focus spot instant melting and gas, through the CNC mechanical system to move
the spot irradiation position to achieve automatic cutting.

The work object of laser cutting machine includes stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, aluminum plate, silver, copper, titanium
and other metal materials. For different metal materials, the cutting thickness of different power laser cutting machines has a great 
relationship with the cutting material. 1000 watts, 2000 watts..... How thick can various power laser cutting machines cut?


In general, the thickness limits of different laser cutting machines for cutting various materials are as follows:
(For reference only, the actual cutting capacity is also related to the quality of the cutting machine, the cutting environment,
auxiliary gas, cutting speed and other factors.)

1. 500W fiber laser cutting machine cutting maximum thickness of different materials: 
Carbon steel maximum thickness of 6mm; 
Stainless steel maximum thickness 3mm; 
The maximum thickness of aluminum plate is 2mm; 
Maximum thickness of copper plate 2mm;

2.1000W fiber laser cutting machine cutting maximum thickness of different materials: 
Carbon steel maximum thickness of 10mm; 
Stainless steel maximum thickness 5mm; 
The maximum thickness of aluminum plate is 3mm; 
Maximum thickness of copper plate 3mm;

3. 2000W fiber laser cutting machine cutting maximum thickness of different materials: 
Carbon steel maximum thickness of 16mm; 
Stainless steel maximum thickness 8mm; 
The maximum thickness of aluminum plate is 5mm; 
The maximum thickness of copper plate is 5mm;

4.3000W fiber laser cutting machine cutting maximum thickness of different materials: 
Carbon steel maximum thickness of 20mm; Stainless steel maximum thickness 10mm; 
The maximum thickness of aluminum plate is 8mm; 
Maximum thickness of copper plate 8mm;

5. 4500W laser cutting stainless steel maximum 20mm, but the quality of the cutting surface above 12mm is not good, and the
following 12mm is definitely bright cutting. 
The 6000W cutting capacity will be better, but the price is also higher.

Razortek Fiber Laser Cutter Cutting ability(Thickness/mm) is as follows:


In the process of practical application, the cutting ability of the fiber laser cutting machine is also related to the quality of the cutting
machine, the type of laser, the cutting environment, the cutting speed and other factors, the use of auxiliary gas can also improve a
certain cutting ability, so there is no absolute standard to judge its cutting thickness. For example, the cutting of carbon steel mainly 
depends on oxygen combustion, and the cutting of stainless steel mainly depends on power.
Generally 1000w fiber laser cutting machine can cut about 10mm of carbon steel plate, stainless steel plate is slightly difficult to cut point,
if you want to improve the cutting thickness, it is to sacrifice the edge effect and speed at the cost.
