Fibre optic laser cutting

Fibre optic laser

Fibre optic laser cutting is achieved through the direct transmission of the energy beam via diodes and fibre cables. Thanks to its shorter wavelength, it provides better absorption of the beam by the material being cut, allowing for the cutting of reflective metals such as brass, copper, and aluminium.

Fibre optic laser cutting systems are the most advanced and technologically sophisticated form of laser cutting. The primary differentiator is their efficiency compared to CO2 laser systems. In addition to requiring less maintenance, fibre optic systems focus energy with such precision that they can cut at the same speed and power as a higher-powered CO2 laser. The performance of fibre cutting is particularly effective on profiles with a thickness of less than 6 mm.

The advantages:

The advantages of fibre optic laser cutting can be summarised as follows:



• Higher performance with equal power
• Efficiency and speed in processing
• Flexibility in operations
• Lower energy consumption for the same power output
• Fibre Laser Markers
  

Fibre laser markers

Fibre laser markers are semiconductor lasers that use an optical fibre as a resonator and operate with fixed frequencies and continuous emission. The active medium consists of glass fibres, which, when excited by diode pumping, produce the laser beam.

Highly efficient, fibre laser markers operate at a wavelength of 1.06 micrometres and have a very small focal diameter, resulting in an intensity at the marking point up to 100 times greater than that of a CO2 source at the same power output.

The advantages:

The advantages of fibre laser markers can be summarised as follows:

• Longevity of laser sources: Fibre optic laser markers can operate for up to 100,000 continuous hours without needing maintenance.
• Precision: They do not damage the surface of transparent plastics or metals.
• Wide range: They expand the range of object sizes that can be marked.
• Low operating costs.
• Ease of processing, even on difficult materials such as brass and copper (which are highly reflective).

Laser marker models

Our laser marker models are suitable for various industries: furniture, architecture, fashion, lighting, packaging, appliances, and many others. Additionally, the fibre optic model, with its 4 axes, can even mark curved objects like glasses, pots, and more.
