Most customers want to know what thickness a fiber laser machine can cut with a certain power. In this article, we’ll give you a detailed look at the thicknesses that a laser cutter can cut.
First, we should know that the cutting thickness is affected most by the laser power. Different materials will require different laser power. And different levels of laser power will produce different cutting thicknesses. As we all know, the most common fiber laser ranges from 1000watt to 6000watt. So the following I will introduce four common situations for you to have a general understanding.
HOW THICK CAN A 1000W FIBER LASER CUTTING MACHINE CUT?
The maximum cutting thickness of different kinds of metals for a 1kw fiber laser cutter: 10mm carbon steel, 5mm stainless steel, 3mm aluminum, and 3mm brass.
HOW THICK CAN A 2000W FIBER LASER CUTTING MACHINE CUT?
The maximum cutting thickness of different kinds of metals for a 2kw fiber laser cutter: 20mm carbon steel, 8mm stainless steel, 6mm aluminum, and 5mm brass.
Take the 2000w 1530 fiber CNC machine for example. This 2kw fiber laser cutter has been equipped with various good-quality laser kits, such as auto focus laser head, blade countertop, water chiller, etc. And in the attached video, it adopts high-energy and high-density laser beam to cut various metal materials, such as carbon steel, galvanized sheet, and aluminum plate. The machine cuts fast and produces perfect cuts. At the same time, the slits are very smooth. Therefore, this machine is very popular in the advertising industry, furniture industry, and other fields.
HOW THICK CAN A 4000W FIBER LASER CUTTING MACHINE CUT?
The maximum cutting thickness of different kinds of metals for a 3kw fiber laser cutter: 22mm carbon steel, 10mm stainless steel, 8mm aluminum, and 6mm brass.
Take the 4000W DXTECH 3015 fiber laser plate cutting machine for instance. This fiber laser cutting machine has the features of professional design, a rigid and durable frame, easy operation, high cutting speed, and precision. And it can cut lines and holes with different diameters from different directions on the metal plates to meet centrifugal and non-centrifugal vertical intersection conditions. In the next video, it is this 4kw fiber laser cutter cut 20mm carbon steel cutting, 6mm brass cutting, 5mm aluminum cutting, and 11mm stainless steel.
HOW THICK CAN A 6000W FIBER LASER CUTTING MACHINE CUT?
The maximum cutting thickness of different kinds of metals for a 6kw fiber laser cutter: 25mm carbon steel, 20mm stainless steel, 16mm aluminum, and 12mm brass.
CONCLUSION
After the confrontation, we can know that the higher the fiber laser power, the thicker the metal cutting thickness. The most common cut metals are carbon steel, stainless steel, brass, and aluminum. And the most used fiber laser cutting power is from 1kw to 6kw. But if you want, DXTECH can also provide you with higher laser power than 6kw, such as 10kw, 12kw, and even 20kw.
The above content is just a few typical examples. If you want to know more about metal cutting thickness and laser power, please contact us. We will have professional technical and business personnel to answer your questions.
