With the pursuit of efficiency and craftsmanship in the entire processing and manufacturing industry, laser cutting technology continues to make breakthroughs. The 10kW+ fiber laser cutting machine is warmly sought after by the entire industry due to its unique advantages such as high power, high performance, and high stability. The high-power large-format fiber laser cutting machine has the advantages of large cutting format and fast cutting speed. It can cut thicker metal sheets and has stable performance, which is an inevitable trend in the development of laser cutting technology. With the continuous improvement of market demand, the in-depth application of laser cutting technology will further promote the development of laser cutting machines to high precision and high power.
At present, the most popular one in the market is the 12kW laser cutting machine, which occupies a large market share with its excellent performance and price advantage. At the same time, due to the obvious advantages of the 10,000-watt series, fiber laser cutting machines have begun to develop to higher power, from 12kW to 20kW or even 30kW. Everyone can't help but start thinking, is the higher the power the better? Which power is the most cost-effective? Which one is more suitable to choose?
In fact, because each company's processing materials are different, product requirements are different, and production needs are also different, so it is the most important to choose the one that suits you. So how to choose the most suitable power for you? Next, I will take you to compare the cutting efficiency of 12kW and 20kW.
12kW vs 20kW，Which one is better? When purchasing a fiber laser cutting machine, you need to consider whether the power of the equipment can meet your own cutting needs. The power of the laser cutting machine is one of the core parameters of the equipment. The materials cut by the fiber laser cutting machine are metal materials, and the types are mainly stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum plate, brass, etc. The higher the equipment power, the thicker the cutting thickness and the faster the cutting speed.
Under the condition of auxiliary oxygen, the cutting efficiency of the 20kW laser cutting machine is about 1.5 times and 2 times higher than that of the 12kW laser cutting machine when cutting carbon steel of 30mm and 40mm, respectively. Under the condition of auxiliary air, when cutting 10mm carbon steel, the laser cutting efficiency of 20kW is doubled compared with that of 12kW. After market inspection, in addition to saving time and labor costs when cutting 20mm carbon steel, air cutting saves about 5 yuan/hour compared to oxygen cutting.
When cutting stainless steel, whether the auxiliary gas is air or nitrogen, the cutting efficiency of 20kW laser cutting machine is greatly improved compared to 12kW. When processing different materials, the 20kW laser cutting machine has better cutting thickness and speed than the 12kW laser cutting machine. Customers can choose their own 10kW+ fiber laser cutting machine according to the thickness and material of the processed sheet. At present, these two 10kW+ fiber laser cutting machines belong to mainstream metal processing products in the market.
Application Industry
At present, fiber laser cutting machines are mainly used in sheet metal processing, hardware products, kitchen utensils, machinery manufacturing, aerospace, auto parts manufacturing, communication equipment, steel structures and other related manufacturing and processing industries. Different industries, different products, and different processing requirements have different power requirements. Small fiber laser cutting machine is mainly used in hardware, kitchen and bathroom utensils and other industries. Medium power fiber laser cutting machine is mainly used in advertising, sheet metal processing, fitness equipment, chassis and other industries. High-power fiber laser cutting machines are mainly used in aerospace, rail transit, auto parts manufacturing, communication equipment, high-end mechanical equipment manufacturing and other industries.
In general, the choice of how much power fiber laser cutting machine depends on the cutting needs of customers. After the above comparison, everyone has an in-depth understanding of the 12kW and 20kW laser cutting machine products. In fact, no matter how much power, the most suitable one is the best. When purchasing a fiber laser cutting machine, customers can choose from various aspects such as processing detail requirements, thickness, speed, and price. At the same time, match the corresponding power size according to the material to be processed, and don't forget to check whether the price meets your budget.
