After saying goodbye to our Italian friends, the DXTECH service team immediately prepared for the next trip. Soon after, our technicians arrived in the second country – Slovenia. It is a central European city with advanced technology and a beautiful environment. Right here, our staff met the second client with excitement.

After arriving at the company, the person who came to welcome us briefly introduced each department of his company. Then we went to the factory to install the machine and test it. Thanks to our friends in Slovenia for arranging this rare opportunity. Our group will provide customers with satisfactory solutions. DXTECH cherishes every cooperation with customers. We are always ready to provide customers with high-quality products and services.

Precautions before installing fiber laser cutting machine

1. Check the parts before installation

Our staff first checked whether the machine is complete or not. If any parts are lost or damaged during transportation, we will contact the factory in time to resend them.

Check the flatness of the ground

In order not to affect the use, the installation foundation of the equipment is required to be flat. The height difference between each part shall not exceed 10mm. Therefore, the staff can use steel plates or iron plates to level uneven places.

3. Check the environment of the plant

There are precision parts inside the fiber laser cutting machine. To prevent the temperature from affecting it, the ambient temperature around the device is 10-40 degrees. And after turning off the device, the temperature must not drop below 4 degrees. If the temperature does not meet the requirements, the operator can install an air conditioner to heat up or cool down.

Different industries have different production needs. This means that enterprises must constantly cooperate with customers to cope with the dynamic development of the industry. We need to position ourselves as an efficient connecter of the industry, rather than simply being a trader. Therefore, what we have to do is to help customers increase productivity and reduce production costs.

DXTECH pays attention to the needs of customers and the development of industry technology. At the same time, we have been summarizing the problems that each customer feedback. Only in this way can we continuously improve quality and innovate products. In the future, we will become a brand worthy of customers’ trust.

Fiber laser generator refers to lasers that use rare-earth element-doped glass fibers as gain media. The fiber laser generator generally uses fiber gratings as resonators and semiconductor lasers as pump sources. And the pump light is coupled to the gain fiber from the beam combiner. Then it is reflected multiple times through the doped core in the cladding to form population inversion and output lasers.

I.Types of Output Laser

A pulsed laser refers to a single laser with a pulse width of less than 0.25S. And it only works once at a certain interval. The main feature of pulsed fiber lasers is that the peak power is high, but the average power is generally low. It is mainly used in laser marking, engraving, and other fields. A continuous wave (CW) fiber laser generator can emit light continuously. And it has the characteristics of stable power output, good photoelectric conversion rate, high cost performance, and long life service.

II.Gain Medium

1.Crystal fiber laser generator

The working material is laser crystal fiber, mainly including ruby single crystal fiber laser generator and YAG single crystal fiber laser (Nd3+ ) generator.

2. Nonlinear fiber laser generator

It is mainly divided into the stimulated Raman scattering fiber laser generators and stimulated Brillouin scattering fiber laser generators.

3. Rare earth doped fiber laser generator

Doping rare earth element ions into the fiber to activate it, (Nd3+, Er3+, Yb3+, Tm3+, etc., the matrix can be quartz glass, zirconium fluoride glass, or single crystal) to make a fiber laser generator.

4. Plastic fiber laser generator

Fiber laser generators are made by doping laser dyes into the core or cladding of the plastic fiber.

III.Structure of the Resonant Cavity

According to the resonant cavity structure, it is divided into the fiber laser generators with F-P cavity, ring cavity, loop reflector fiber resonator, “8” shape cavity, DBR fiber laser, DFB fiber laser, etc.

IV.Fiber Structure

Based on the fiber structure, it can be classified as the single-clad fiber laser generator, double-clad fiber laser generator, photonic crystal (PCF) fiber laser generator, and special fiber laser generator.

Photonic crystal fiber lasers have many advantages such as high integration, tunability, and good thermal management performance, and are widely used in scientific fields such as fiber laser communications, industrial manufacturing, medical equipment, and military defense.

Double-clad fiber laser generator represents the development of new fiber laser generators. And it is composed of concentric cores, inner cladding, outer cladding, and protective layers. It does not need to couple the pump energy directly into the fiber with a relatively small mode field diameter. On the contrary, it can use a multi-mode high-power semiconductor laser as the pump source.

V.Transmission Signal

Fiber lasers can be divided into single-mode and multi-mode. Single-mode fiber lasers use single-mode fiber as the gain medium, and only operate the fundamental mode laser stably. The single-mode laser has concentrated energy and a small divergence angle, which is very advantageous in laser processing that requires high energy density, but the power is generally below 2kw. There are both fundamental modes and other high-order modes in the multimode fiber laser, so the beam is divergent, the spot is larger, and the power is higher, which is more suitable for processing that requires a larger heating area.

VI.Number of Laser Output Wavelengths

In terms of the wavelength, the fiber laser generators can be divided into multi-wavelength fiber laser generators and single-wavelength fiber laser generators. The multi-wavelength laser generator can provide the required light source for multiple channels at the same time. And it makes the design of the optical transmitter more compact and economical.

With the rapid development of the sheet metal processing industry, the processing technology is also changing with each passing day. Among them, the traditional cutting machines mainly include CNC shearing machines, punching machines, flame cutting machines, plasma cutting machines, and high-pressure water cutting machines. While laser cutting is a high-end technological revolution in sheet metal processing. It breaks through the limitations of traditional cutting machines, brings safer, more convenient and efficient work effects, and makes cutting precision reach a higher standard.

Below I will introduce the advantages and disadvantages of the traditional cutting methods as well as the laser cutting technology. And then you can make a clearly simple comparison with them.

I. Laser Cutting

Advantages

1. Higher Performance & Safety

Compare to the traditional cutting machines, metal fiber laser cutters have much higher working performance and safety. Therefore, the metal fiber laser cutting machines have the advantages of fast speed, high efficiency, and constant operation. More importantly, it has no need to maintain the fiber laser metal cutter, which largely saves a lot of costs. And it also provides the strong power for continuous production, improves work efficiency, and ensures better work quality.

2. Higher Accuracy

CNC metal fiber laser cutting machine has higher precision than the ordinary cutting machines. Besides, it has better processing effects, which avoid material waste posed by poor cutting accuracy and save a lot of production costs. So it greatly raised the producing efficiency and achieve better cutting results.

fiber laser cutting

3. Higher Efficiency

Due to the high flexibility, fast cutting speed, high production efficiency, and short production cycle, it is easy to fast and accurately laser cut both simple and complex machine parts in only one time.

4. Better Effects

The fiber CNC laser cutting machine for sale has the features of good cutting quality, easy operation, and a narrow cutting slit. That’s why it can realize CNC laser cutting products with no cutting force, no deformation, and no tool wear. In addition, it also has good material adaptability, which can realize automatic laser cutting layout and nesting. Meanwhile, it improves the material utilization and benefits, and reduces the pollution and production costs.

Disadvantages

  1. Limit cutting thickness: the metal laser cutter is designed for cutting thin metal sheets within 6mm.
  2. Restricted materials: metal CNC laser cutter can only cut metals rather than nonmetals.
  3. Hurt eyes: the short laser waves will do harm people’s eyes. So you are required to wear protective glasses when using it.
  4. Expensive laser generator: it has more difficulties to purchase and maintain the fiber laser generator for its expensive price and long return period.

II. Flame Cutting

Flame cutters mainly cut thick steel panels with over 40mm. However, it has the disadvantages of material waste, wide slit, slow speed, and large thermal deformation, which is only suitable for rough machining.

III. CNC Shearing

Although the CNC shearing routers can cut sheets up to 4m long, they can only be used for sheet metal processing that requires straight-line cutting.

IV. Plasma Cutting

Plasma cutting is similar to flame cutting because they both have a large heat-affected zone. But it has faster speed and high accuracy. However, it also has some shortcomings such as expensive consumables, large thermal deformation, large slope, and less precision.

V. Punching

Punching machines have higher flexibility in curve processing. A punching machine has one or more punching heads in a round, square, or other shapes, which can process some sheet metal workpieces at one time. On the one hand, it can fast cut simple patterns and thin sheets; on the other hand, it has poor punching ability ofthick steel sheets. Even if it can do it, the steel surface will collapse, which will cost the mold.

VI. High Pressure Water Cutting

High pressure water cutting is a CNC cutting technology using a high-speed water jet doped with emery to cut metal sheets. Because it has no limit to the cutting materials, it can cut many kinds of special materials such as ceramic, glass, aluminum, copper, etc. And it can cut some materials with a thickness of up to 100mm. However, the high pressure water cutting technology has the weakness of slow cutting speed, poor environmental protection, and high consumables.

I. Cleaning Technology

There are many cleaning methods, such as mechanical cleaning, dry ice cleaning, chemical cleaning, sandblasting cleaning, ultrasonic cleaning, laser cleaning, and so on. Among them, the first four methods are traditional cleaning techniques, and most of which are cleaned by chemical methods or mechanical methods. CNC laser cleaning technology is a new green cleaning method in recent years. Specifically, the comparison between laser cleaning and other traditional cleaning methods is described below.

1. Dry ice cleaning technology

It uses a dry ice cleaner to spray dry ice pellets on the work surface. The energy conversion will achieve impurity removal by high pressure air. And it has the characteristics of zero cleaning damage and high cleaning efficiency, but high cost and high unsafety.

2. Sandblast cleaning technology

It spray copper sand, quartz sand, emery, iron sand, sea sand, or other particle onto the surface of the material. But it usually causes damage, air pollution, and noise. To make matters worse, the resulting respirable particles can cause harm to the human body.

3. Chemical cleaning technology

It adopts chemical methods or chemical reagents to achieve equipment cleaning. It will corrode the processed metal materials, which is not conducive to long-term cleaning. In addition, industrial wastewater is also produced, which is harmful to human health.

4. Ultrasonic cleaning technology

Use ultrasonic cavitation to disperse, emulsify, and peel off the dirt layer to achieve cleaning.

5. Laser cleaning technology

The fiber laser cleaning machine uses the instantaneous high temperature generated by the laser beam to clean the impurities from the processed material surface. So as to realize CNC laser cleaning, energy saving, and environmental protection. It has the characteristics of free grinding, non-contact, no thermal effect, and zero damage.

II. Disadvantages of traditional cleaning technology

Mechanical cleaning has high cleanliness, but it is easy to damage the substrate. At the same time, chemical cleaning is a non-pressure cleaning, but the pollution is heavy. While liquid or solid jet cleaning has high flexibility, it is costly and contains a lot of impurities. Although the ultrasonic cleaning method has a good cleaning effect, it is powerless to sub-micron dirt particles. In addition, the size of the cleaning tank limits the cleaning range. And drying after washing is also a big problem.

III. Advantages of Laser Cleaning technology

Compared with traditional cleaning technology, CNC laser cleaning still has many advantages. It makes up for the shortcomings of traditional cleaning methods and promotes the application of laser technology in the field of surface cleaning. Due to its many advantages, laser cleaning is now the most effective method for removing unwanted substances from the surface of materials. Below I will list some of the more prominent advantages of laser cleaning technology.

1. Laser rust removal is a “green” cleaning method, which does not require the use of any chemicals and cleaning fluids, no exhaust gas emissions, and no environmental pollution. The cleaning residues are recovered by vacuum cleaners. 2. CNC laser cleaning can effectively clean the submicron particles that are difficult to remove cleanly adsorbed on the surface of objects by other methods. 3. The laser can be transmitted through optical fiber, cooperate with the robot hand and robot, can realize automatic control and long-distance remote control, and can clean the parts that are not easy to reach by traditional methods, which can ensure the safety of personnel in some dangerous places. 4. Laser cleaning can selectively clean the contaminants on the surface of the material without damaging the surface of the material. High cleaning efficiency, saving time and lower cost. 5. CNC laser rust removal has good controllability and high flexibility, and is easy to achieve precise cleaning in selected areas and in real time. 6. The heat-affected zone is small. For light peeling cleaning, it is to open the bond of the material. There is no thermal effect and no thermal damage to the surrounding materials. No damage to molds – extended mold life. 7. The car tire mold can be cleaned online, with fast cleaning speed and easy operation, without any consumables (except electricity) and chemicals. 8. Although the initial one-time investment in purchasing a laser cleaning system is high, the cleaning system can be used stably for a long time, with low operating costs and almost no warranty requirements.

Taking 2000W fiber laser cutting machine cut stainless steel as an example, and then calculate the cost of capital and time.

1. The production cost and approximate time period for cutting 1mm stainless steel for a total of 50,000 meters

50,000 meters ÷ 20 meters/minute ÷ 60 minutes = 41.7 hours ≈ 5 working days
41.7 hours × (27.8 yuan + 70 yuan) ≈ 4078 yuan

2. The production cost and approximate time period for cutting 2mm stainless steel for a total of 50,000 meters

50000 meters ÷ 8.5 meters/minute ÷ 60 minutes = 98 hours ≈ 12 working days
98 hours × (27.8 yuan + 70 yuan) ≈ 9588 yuan

III. Operating Cost

The cost of fiber laser cutting machine mainly includes power consumption, auxiliary gas cost, and the expense of wearing parts.

Take 500W fiber laser cutting machine as an example:

  • 1. Power consumption: the hourly power consumption of the 500W fiber laser cutting machine is 6 kWh, and the electricity cost is about 6 yuan/hour (calculated at 1 yuan/kWh).
  • 2. Auxiliary gas consumption:
    Oxygen: 15 yuan/ bottle for about 1 hour, 15 yuan per hour.
    Nitrogen: 320 yuan/ tank for about 12 to 16 hours, 20 yuan per hour.
    Compressed air: it can reduce the production cost by about half, but it needs to be equipped with an air compressor.

Please pay attention: Oxygen in the text refers to oxygen bottled; and the nitrogen canned is more cost-effective than bottled nitrogen. Besides, it also saves the operator’s ventilation time and the waste caused by excessive bottled air. In addition, gas prices in different regions will vary.

IV. Maintenance Cost

  • Consumption of wearing parts:
    1.Protective lens: more than 300 hours of normal use, the price is 150 yuan/ piece. It spent about 1-2 yuan per hour (if the working environment is good, the use time will be longer).
  • 2.Nozzle: more than 300 hours of normal use, the price is 50 yuan/ piece, about 0.18 yuan per hour.
  • 3.Ceramic ring: more than 7200 hours of normal use, the price is 400 yuan/ piece, about 0.11 yuan per hour.

Word at Last

To sum up, the total operating cost of a fiber laser cutting machine not only includes the price of purchasing the machine itself, but also includes power consumption, labor cost, wearing parts consumption, auxiliary gas consumption, and other cost prices. Therefore, it is not easy to operate a fiber laser cutting machine, which requires a certain amount of financial support. However, its benefits are also proportional.

Fiber laser cutting machine cannot work normally once one of its parts is damaged or missing, even a small part. If used forcibly, it may cause irreversible damage to the fiber laser cutting machine. Therefore, for those wearing parts that need to be replaced frequently, we generally make an advance stocking. So what are the more common wearing parts? And how to take care of them?

Wearing Parts

laser-head

 

 

The wearing parts of fiber laser cutting machine are mainly divided into two parts: optical components and cutting head wearing parts. The consumable parts of optical components mainly include protective lenses. While the cutting head wearing parts mainly include nozzles, ceramic bodies, ceramic rings, sealing rings, sensor cables, etc. Below I will briefly introduce some common wearing parts.

1. Protective lenses

The protective lens is also one of the frequently wearing parts of the fiber laser cutting machine, as shown in figure 7. It is mainly used to block the splash of cutting debris and prevent damage to the core components of the laser cutting head. And it is recommended to replace every 3 months. The specific replacement frequency needs to be determined according to the usage of the fiber laser cutting machine.

2. Nozzle

A cutting nozzle (shown in figure 8 ) can assist the rapid ejection of the cutting gas. Moreover, it can also effectively prevent the damage to the protective focusing lens group caused by the anti-slag on the cutting plate. At the same time, the cutting nozzle can also effectively control the gas diffusion area and size, so as to control the cutting quality of the fiber laser cutting machine. The replacement cycle of the cutting nozzle is generally recommended to be about 2 months. But since the cutting nozzle is very close to the plate, often results in damage to the nozzle ceramic body of the nozzle machine. Therefore, the cutting nozzle can be said to be the most frequently replaced wearing part of the fiber laser cutting machine.

3. TTW cable

The TTW cable is the sensing wire of the cutting head sensor, as shown in Figure 9. It locates above the ceramic ring and under the protective lens box. Its main function is to transmit signals from the ceramic ring to the amplifier. In addition, its replacement cycle is generally about one year.

4. Ceramic ring

The ceramic ring is a component of the laser cutting head, located above the nozzle and below the sensor (shown in Figure 7). It is mainly responsible for transmitting and collecting the cutting signal emitted by the nozzle, to prevent the nozzle from colliding with the plate during operation. Besides, it also has the functions of high temperature resistance and anti-deformation. When cutting, it is easy to crack the ceramic body due to the collision of the laser head, or due to the excessive heating of the ceramic body. The following two phenomena show the ceramic ring is damaged: there is a problem with cutting (the cutting and perforation fails) or the system display shows an error.

Why is it easy to damage?

1.Operation mistakes

There are many operators who have not undergone formal training or are unfamiliar with fiber laser cutters. It is inevitable that some mistakes will occur during operation, so that the wearing parts are consumed too quickly.

2.Inaccurate cutting parameters

The fiber laser cutting machine can cut different materials through different parameters. However, in many cases, due to the inaccurate parameters set, the cutting difficulty increases and the wearing parts are consumed too fast.

3.Long use time

If the fiber laser cutting machine is used for too long or used frequently, it is easy to cause the aging of the equipment, which will also greatly reduce the service life of the wearing parts.

4.Frequent cutting of highly reflective metal materials

Because the highly reflective metal material has a very low absorption to the laser, it will cause great damage to the lens and the laser.

How to maintain the wearing parts?

1.Protective lenses

①Do not use too much force during installation and avoid collision with hard objects.
②Operate with gloves and provide it with dry and oil-free air.
③Before and after use or cleaning, it is necessary to check the lens.
④Use clean wipes and optical solvents to prevent damage by other contaminants.

2. Nozzle

First of all, it should be standardized when assembling. At the same time, the molten stains on the nozzle should be removed immediately. Finally, check and replace the nozzle of the cutter regularly.

The operation requirements of fiber laser cutting machines are not very high. All you need to do is to find a person who knows how to make mechanical drawings, as well as an operator to control the machine.

First, the mechanical drafter inputs the drawing to the computer console. Next, the operator loads the plate onto the machine tool and then opens the start button to complete the processing.

Some customers may ask that there are too many buttons on the operation table of the fiber laser cutting machine. They do not know their purpose and operation method. In fact, there is no need to worry too much about it. Generally, after reaching a sales agreement with the customer, the laser cutter manufacturer will provide free machine operation training to the customers until they have all mastered it. At the same time, the laser machine will also be shipped with some teaching videos and application manuals for the convenience of customers learning to operate.

Therefore, the operation of a fiber laser cutting machine is not as difficult as the customer thinks. Only simple training is required.

I. How Does A Fiber Laser Cutter Work ?

CNC fiber laser cutting machine adopts the advanced fiber laser to output high-energy, high-quality, and high-density laser beams. And then, the laser beam gathers on the surface of the workpiece, so that the area irradiated by the ultra-fine focus spot on the workpiece is instantly melted and vaporized. At the same time, the focus spot irradiation position is moved by the numerical control mechanical system to realize automatic metal laser cutting.

The following video is a demo of the fiber laser cutting machine cut metal sheet and metal square tube. Here you can see that our laser cutter can easily and fast find the edge of the metal automatically.

II. How to Operate the Fiber Laser Cutting Machine for Beginners ?

1. Preparation

  • Before using the laser cutting machine, please be sure to read and understand all the safety instructions attached to it.
  • Stably fix the metal material to be cut on the working table.
  • According to the material and thickness of the metal sheet, adjust the equipment parameters, such as laser power, cutting speed, focal length, etc.

2. Create files for laser cutting

Carry out the programming of the workpiece drawing and the layout of the whole plate cutting. And then transfer it into the cutting software system to make a cut. Please note that the metal laser cutting machine needs a vector path as an input file.

3. Start laser cutting

  • Try to cut the material. After over cutting, carefully check the verticality, roughness, burrs, and dregs of the cut surface.
  •  Analyze the cutting surface and inspect the sample. And then adjust the parameters in time accordingly f there is any problem. Adjustments might be made many times until the cutting meets the process requirements.

III. 5 Precautions for Operating Fiber Laser Cutting Machines

  1. Before starting, please make sure that your CNC laser cutter is in good condition. In addition, turn off the main switching power supply of all equipment every time when the work is over.
  2. Do not touch or adjust the cutting head or cutting material when the fiber laser engraver is working. In case of a safety incident and laser burns.
  3. When processing materials, the operator needs to observe the hole cutting process at all times. If there is an emergency, please press the red emergency stop button immediately. Otherwise, you’ll have big trouble.
  4. A hand-held fire extinguisher must be placed near the CNC laser machine to prevent open flames when it is cutting and engraving metal sheets or tubes.
  5. One more thing that needs to be paid special attention to is that the operator should know all switches of the fiber laser engraving machine, so that he can turn off the switch in time in case of emergency.
