CNC Plasma Cutter &Fiber Laser Cutter Difference


NO.

Items

CNC Plasma cutting machine

Fiber laser cutting machine

1

Cutting speed

Slowly (time cost is much)

Fast (higher work efficient)

2

Cutting precision

±0.1mm 

±0.03mm  (much better)

3

Principle

High temperature arc

Laser energy

4

Material damage

There will be large or small damage,
in the cutting process if the plasma cutting machine cutting head with some problems,
will make very obvious defects on the plate.
The high temperature will make the steel shape changing

Laser cutting does not damage the steel
non-contact cutting, will not scratch on the work surface

5

Cutting gap

Bigger cutting gap

The laser beam is focused into a small spot,the cutting gap is smaller

6

Flexibility

CNC programmingcause the cutting precision is not enough,can not cut the smaller objects perfectly

CNC programming, can be processed with any cutting patterns ,no need any molds

7

Purchasing cost

Lower

Higher

8

Cutting effective

Not good

Very good



The difference between Plasma and Fiber laser cutting machine

Additionally,according to our market data,there is almost no customers to cut pipes by Plasma cutting machine,cause for pipe cutting, it need a higher precision than metal plate cut,so its hard to the Plasma cutting machine.

Cause for the Plasma cutting machine,it is suitable for thick materials cutting,just cut it off,without some beautiful shapes you need.If you need to cut some completed shapes,the fiber laser cutting machine is better.
