How to Choose a Fiber Laser Cutting Machine?

Step 1: Conduct an In-Depth Analysis of Your RequirementsThis is the most critical step, determining the direction of all subsequent choices. Please answer the following questions:What materials will be cut?Carbon steel: This is the most common application, and all fiber laser machines excel at it.Stainless steel/aluminum/brass: Higher-pressure nitrogen is required as an assist gas to achieve an oxide-free cut surface. This places higher demands on laser stability and gas pressure.Highly reflect...
