GP1530X High Speed Laser Cutting Machine

The flexible metal processing characteristics of laser cutting machines are recognized by many sheet metal customers, and their cutting speed has a great advantage compared with traditional processing equipment.

Many factors affect the cutting speed of optical fiber laser cutting machines. Different processing materials, material thicknesses, and output power will affect the final cutting speed.

Assuming the maximum cutting speed of a 20000W laser cutting machine cutting 1mm thick of different materials: the maximum cutting speed of carbon steel is 85m/min; the maximum cutting speed of stainless steel is 100m/min; the maximum cutting speed of aluminum is 65m/min; the maximum cutting speed of copper is 85m/min.

In addition, the machine parameter setting is also one of the main reasons affecting the cutting speed of the 12KW laser cutting machine. Generally speaking, if the parameters are not adjusted properly, the cutting speed is not ideal. When adjusting the cutting speed parameters, you need to pay attention to the initial speed and acceleration.

Don't think that the higher the initial speed, the better! If the initial speed of the laser cut sheet metal machine is set too high, the machine will shake greatly.  

Acceleration is the time it takes for the machine to go from initial speed to normal cutting. The laser cutter is a process of continuous starting and stopping when cutting different patterns. If the acceleration setting is too low, the cutting speed of the machine will slow down.

If you don't know how to adjust the machine parameters to the ideal state, you can search for solutions on Google or ask XTLASER's professional technicians for help.

XTLASER's fastest laser cutting machine is equipped with a 12000W laser and 2.8G acceleration, effectively ensuring the best cutting quality and efficiency.

The maximum cutting speed of a 12KW laser cutting machine cutting 1mm thick of different materials: the maximum cutting speed of carbon steel is 75m/min; the maximum cutting speed of stainless steel is 72m/min; the maximum cutting speed of aluminum is 85m/min; the maximum cutting speed of copper is 60m/min.

The above cutting speeds may deviate due to laser differences, cutting gas, optical lenses, metal material quality, cutting graphics, etc., and need to be adjusted according to on-site adjustments.

Some people who are interested in laser cutters may be curious: how much does it cost to buy a fiber laser cutting machine? Is it expensive?

The price of metal cutting laser machines on the market generally ranges from 1,500 US dollars to hundreds of thousands of US dollars, depending on the power and brand.
Compared with the optical fiber laser cutting machine price, the CO2 laser cutter price is lower because the former is smaller in size and power, has lower cost, and is suitable for processing non-metals.

The cost of a metal laser cutting machine is much higher than that of a CO2 laser cutting machine. On the one hand, the price of high-power lasers accounts for a large part of the cost, and on the other hand, other configurations of the machine, such as the bed, motor, and guide rail, are doubled compared to CO2 cutting machines, so the price will be higher.

To be realistic, the initial investment of fiber laser cutting machines is indeed relatively high, but a normal machine can be used for 10-15 years, and compared with the actual benefits it brings, the initial investment is completely acceptable.
