Due to the clear technical advantages of fiber lasers compared to other lasers, they have a broad range of applications. Currently, fiber lasers are gradually replacing traditional lasers as the dominant choice for laser marking, laser welding, and laser cutting applications.
More and more companies are purchasing and using fiber lasers. From the electronics industry to automotive, aerospace, and medical sectors, every industry values this new technology and is actively acquiring equipment. The application technology of fiber lasers has become increasingly mature.
1. High Energy Efficiency, Low Cost
Traditional lasers, like CO2, have a photoelectric conversion rate of only about 10%. However, the energy consumption of fiber lasers is very low.
1.1 Reduced Energy Wastage
On one hand, it's because the energy loss of light during transmission in the fiber is extremely low. On the other hand, the photoelectric conversion rate of fiber lasers exceeds 25%, which significantly reduces energy wastage.
1.2 Benefits Over Other Lasers
Compared to lamp-pumped lasers, the electricity consumed by fiber lasers is much lower, and its efficiency is more than twice that of semiconductor laser-pumped solid-state Nd:YAG lasers. Moreover, the structure of the fiber laser is simpler and more compact, taking up less space. It offers superior beam quality, high reliability, and excellent laser stability, thus reducing material wastage. It's most suitable for clients with diverse needs and flexible usage requirements.
2. Easy Maintenance
As the resonating chamber of the fiber laser is also fiber, it possesses characteristics such as no adjustment required, maintenance-free, and high stability.
2.1 Tolerance in Harsh Environments
It can operate in relatively harsh working environments, exhibiting high tolerance to dust, vibrations, impacts, humidity, and temperature.
2.2 Low Maintenance Costs
There's essentially no need for professional maintenance, leading to lower maintenance costs, which is very convenient for users.
3. Faster Speed, Higher Efficiency
4. Longer Lifespan
The diode modules inside fiber lasers have a longer lifespan than lamp-pumped modules. The theoretical life expectancy of a fiber laser can reach 100,000 hours, which is indeed very long.
