What is the difference between CO2 laser machine and Fiber laser machine?

1.Equipment maintenance cost

 the maintenance cost of the CO2 laser cutting machine is huge, not only the front and rear mirrors are expensive, but the life of the turbine bearing is only 8,000 hours, and the replacement cost reaches 80,000 yuan per pair. However, the fiber laser cutting machine is maintenance-free, basically has no consumables, and can be up to the harsh working environment, and has a high tolerance for dust, shock, impact, humidity, and temperature.

2. Compared with the processing cost

, the CO2 laser cutting machine not only consumes gas during processing, but also the photoelectric conversion rate is only 8%-10%. The fiber laser cutting machine does not require any other consumption during processing, and its photoelectric conversion rate can reach 30%, which is more energy-saving and electricity-saving.

3. From a technical point of view

The laser structure of the CO2 laser cutting machine is complex, the maintenance cost is high, and the beam divergence is large in processing, which is not suitable for large-format processing. Although the cutting seam is relatively thin, the speed is very slow when processing thick plates. However, the laser characteristics of fiber laser cutting machine are embodied in miniaturization, intensiveness, high brightness and high conversion rate. For 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.

It is said that the reason why the 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 technical advantages, which provide the necessary process technology for the realization of product finishing.
