Fiber Laser Metal Cutting Machines

Fiber lasers. Briefly, fiber laser light is created by banks of diodes. The light is channeled and amplified through fiber optic cable similar to that used for data transfer. The amplified light, on exiting the fiber cable, is collimated or straightened and then focused by a lens onto the material to be cut.Fiber lasers feature positive light properties, such as a shorter wavelength, which improves beam absorption into the material being cut and enables the cutting of non-conductive metals such as brass and copper.
