Nowadays, with the rapid development of laser equipment, the pace of new equipment replacing the old equipment to become the new mainstream of the manufacturing industry is accelerating, such as Fiber Laser Cutting Machine replacing Co2 Laser Cutting Machine. Why fiber Laser Cutting Machine replace CO2 laser Cutting Machine, the following three aspects to analyze.
1. Maintenance cost
CO2 laser cutting machine: high maintenance cost, high price of front mirror and tail mirror, short service life of turbine bearing and high replacement cost. Fiber laser cutting machine: maintenance free, basically no consumables, and can be competent for harsh working environment, dust, vibration, impact, humidity, temperature has a high tolerance.
2. Processing cost
The photoelectric conversion rate of CO2 laser cutting machine is far lower than that of optical fiber laser cutting machine, and the laser tube is a consumption product. Under the same power, optical fiber equipment can make better use of laser to create value, so the processing cost of optical fiber is lower. Of course, the purchase price of optical fiber equipment is higher than that of carbon dioxide equipment.
3. Technology
CO2 laser has complex structure, high maintenance cost and large beam divergence, which is not suitable for large format processing. Although the cutting seam is relatively thin, it is very slow in processing thick plate. The laser characteristics of the fiber laser cutting machine are miniaturization, intensification, high brightness and high conversion rate. In thin plate processing, the cutting speed of the same power fiber laser cutting machine is 2-3 times higher than that of CO2, and the cutting section is smooth.
The above is the reason why CO2 laser cutting machine is gradually eliminated, and the reason why fiber laser cutting machine can quickly gain a foothold in the market and gradually replace the traditional cutting process is precisely because of its various advantages in technology, which provides the necessary technology for the realization of product finishing.
