Inquire

Speaking of metal laser cutting machines, everyone is familiar with it. At present, the mainstream in the market is fiber laser cutting machine, YAG laser cutting machine and co2 laser cutting machine. All three of them are laser cutting equipment specially used to cut and process metal materials. So, what is the difference between fiber laser cutting machine and YAG laser cutting machine? Let's compare with Leapion Laser Sales Manager.

1. The two definitions are different

Fiber laser cutting machine is a laser cutting machine that uses a fiber laser generator as a light source. Fiber laser is a new type of fiber laser that is newly developed in the world. It can output high energy density laser beam and gather it on the surface of the workpiece, so that the area irradiated by the ultra-fine focus spot on the workpiece can be melted and vaporized instantaneously. The system moves the spot irradiation position to realize automatic cutting.

The YAG laser cutting machine uses a focused high-power density laser beam to irradiate the workpiece, so that the irradiated material quickly melts, vaporizes, ablates or reaches the ignition point, and at the same time blows away the molten material with the help of the high-speed airflow coaxial with the beam to achieve the The workpiece is cut open. Laser cutting is one of the thermal cutting methods.

2. The laser and its life are different

The fiber laser cutting machine uses a fiber laser generator, which can be used for 100,000 hours. The laser of the YAG laser cutting machine is a premium YAG crystal and imported metal condensing cavity. The laser can be used for more than 10,000 hours.

3. Different application areas

Fiber laser cutting machines are widely used in machinery, sheet metal, electronic circuits, textiles and clothing, leather shoes and bags, auto parts, hardware tools, medical equipment, digital products, instruments, gold and silver jewelry, craft gifts, etc.

YAG laser cutting machine is suitable for all kinds of metal materials (including rare metals), electroplating materials, coating materials, spraying materials, plastic rubber, resin, ceramic marking and thin plate cutting.

4. The price and usage cost are different

The purchase price of fiber laser cutting machine is high, but it hardly needs maintenance in the later period. The fiber laser cutting machine has no laser working gas, fiber transmission, and no reflective lens, which can save a lot of maintenance costs.

YAG laser cutting machine is cheap to purchase, low cost of use, and simple to maintain.

5. Cutting ability and processing efficiency are different

The fiber laser cutting machine can cut metal materials such as stainless steel plates within 12MM, and its speed is 4-5 times that of the YAG laser cutting machine. YAG laser cutting machine can only cut metal materials below 8mm. At present, the output power of products is mostly below 800W. Due to the small output energy, it is mainly used for punching and cutting of thin plates.

In addition, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the fiber laser cutting machine is about 10 times that of YAG. At present, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the cutting machine can reach about 30%, which is very energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

It can be seen that the YAG solid-state laser cutting machine has the characteristics of low price, easy operation and good stability. Because the price of fiber laser cutting machine is relatively high, the price of fiber laser cutting machine YAG laser cutting machine is much higher. However, the advantages of fiber laser cutting machine are more obvious and more. So when we buy the machine, we have to choose according to our own needs.
