With the rapid development of laser sheet cutting machine technology and the gradual intensification of competition, more and more high-power cnc metal sheet cutting machine have been developed. The available laser power can reach 30000w or higher, and it is possible to cut sheets with a thickness of 1 mm or even 100 mm thick. In this post, we will walk through the maximum thickness that the most often used fiber cutting machine with different laser wattage can cut.

The maximum cutting thickness of different materials for 4kw laser cutter: stainless steel maximum thickness 16mm; aluminum material maximum thickness 16mm; yellow copper maximum thickness 10mm; carbon steel maximum thickness 20mm.
For stainless steel, the cutting speed of the 4kw fiber laser cutting machine ranges from 0.2m/min to 70m/min. For aluminum, the cutting speed ranges from 0.2m/min to 50m/min. For yellow copper, the cutting speed ranges from 0.1m/min to 40m/min. For carbon steel, the cutting speed ranges from 0.6m/min to 65m/min.
Compared with the CO2 laser cutting machine, this fiber laser has a shorter wavelength, so it has better absorption characteristics, and the focused beam of the laser cutting machine has a higher power density at the focal point.
● The fiber laser cutting machine uses nitrogen as auxiliary gas, which can speed up the melting and expelling of materials, thereby increasing the feeding speed.

Conclusion
To obtain high-precision and high-speed cutting, in addition to the fiber laser machine itself, the operator also needs to adjust the parameters properly, such as laser power, gas pressure, feed rate, the working distance of the nozzle and focus position, etc. Different operations will lead to different cutting results, but it is certain that whether you need to process copper/brass, aluminum, stainless steel and carbon steel of different thicknesses, fiber laser cnc machine from the Hymson sheet metal cutting machine manufacturers must be your economical choice.
