Is Fibre Laser Cutting the Right Solution for Your Project?

 Fibre laser systems have established their capability to cut metals at high quality and accommodate intricate parts, which are challenging to other processes. However, when it comes to the final decision to use a fibre laser cutting machine for their project, customers usually focus on the additional aspects specific to their case. Included is a particular system that can handle their parts’ tolerances and whether it is economical to use specific fibre laser systems to produce their pieces. Below we discuss these two questions at a top-level.

 Factors such as kerf size, taper, surface roughness, heat input of the process, and the variability of the process during the long production run eventually determine in practice if you can hold parts within a tight tolerance. A combination of the small kerf, low heat input, good surface finish, and stable cutting makes fibre lasers a safe choice for cutting precise parts. The cutting precision partly depends on the motion system of the cutting machine.
