Fiber laser cutting machines are versatile tools that can cut a wide range of metals with high precision and efficiency. These machines use a high-powered fiber laser beam to melt or vaporize the material, creating precise cuts. Here are four common metals that fiber laser cutting machines can cut.

Fiber Laser Cutting Machine: 500W to 20KW Power

The power of a fiber laser cutting machine typically ranges from 500 watts to 20 kilowatts. The choice of power level depends on the specific application and the materials being cut. Here’s a breakdown of some common power ranges and their cutting materials.

0.5kw to 2kw fiber laser cutting machine

Best 1000w Metal Sheet Fiber Laser Cutter

If the power of a machine exceeds 10kw, then it will be called high-power fiber laser cutting machine. It can cut 60mm carbon steel, 50mm stainless steel, 50mm aluminum, 20mm brass, 10mm copper, etc.

Fiber laser cutting machine cuts 4 metals

Blue Elephant fiber laser cutting machine is an ideal choice for supporting your metal cutting business. In order to confirm this statement, I will cite the following four examples.

1. Aluminum laser cutting

The fiber laser cutting machines can handle both pure aluminum and aluminum alloys efficiently, making them suitable for applications in industries such as aerospace and automotive.
The video below shows Blue Elephant fiber laser cutting machine cutting 6mm aluminum plate.

2. Stainless steel laser cutting

Fiber laser cutting machines are highly effective at cutting stainless steel, including various grades like 304, 316, and 430. They can produce clean edges and intricate designs on stainless steel sheets of varying thicknesses.
The video below shows Blue Elephant fiber laser cutting machine cutting 8mm and 12mm stainless steel plate.

3. Carbon steel laser cutting

Fiber lasers are exceptionally well-suited for cutting carbon steel. Whether it’s mild steel or high-strength steel, fiber lasers can provide precise and burr-free cuts in a wide range of thicknesses.
This video shows how Blue Elephant fiber laser cutting machine cuts carbon steel with the thickness of 3mm/6mm/16mm/20mm.

4. Brass laser cutting

Brass is favored for its attractive golden color, high melting point and non-magnetic properties. Blue Elephant fiber laser cutting machine adopts top-level fiber laser to release strong cutting force, which can produce smooth and clean cutting edge on brass plate. These materials are often used in the electronics and decorative industries, and fiber lasers can create intricate designs and smooth edges on them.
The attached video shows the cutting process of Blue Elephant fiber laser cutting machine cuts 2mm, 3mm and 5mm brass plates.

Conclusion

After reading this blog, it is not difficult to find that the fiber laser cutting machine has the advantages of high cutting precision, fast cutting speed, good cutting effect, mass production, and high degree of automation. In addition to these four common metals, fiber laser cutting machines can be used to cut other metals such as titanium, nickel alloys, and various specialty alloys. So it is the best cutting solution for various metal processing. If you are interested in Blue Elephant fiber laser cutting machine or want to get a quotation, please contact us right now.
