Fiber Laser Cutting Ability (for reference)

• Cutting capabilities by material and laser wattage

Operating Costs Overview

➢ Under the same power, fiber lasers consume at least half the energy, saving more with higher usage.

➢ No need for laser gas generation with fiber lasers, saving nearly 2000 USD annually.

➢ Fiber lasers can use air cutting, saving nearly 2000 USD on nitrogen costs per year.

➢ After upgrading, lasers come with a new 5-year warranty for 6KW machines, for worry-free operation.

➢ Equipped with a German Precitec cutting head for stable performance.
