What is the max. thickness of the metal that 500W fiber laser cutter is able to cut?

Theoretically speaking,when fiber laser cutter increases by 100W power,it can cut 1mm more thick metals. Therefore,500W fiber laser cutter is supposed to be able to cut 5mm metals. However,the actual situation is quite different.

Fiber laser cutter is a cutting device with superior performance. In thin metal plate processing sector, fiber laser cutter has always considered to be the fastest laser processing equipment. However, different kinds of metals have different kinds of features, so fiber laser cutters will have different processing abilities to those metals. 


Theoretically speaking, when fiber laser cutter increases by 100W power, it can cut 1mm more thick metals. Therefore, 500W fiber laser cutter is supposed to be able to cut 5mm metals. However, the actual situation is quite different. When the fiber laser cutter is running, the electric energy turns into luminous energy and then turns into heat energy. During this process, there has to be energy loss. Therefore, in actual cutting, the theoretical value can not be reached. So how is the actual cutting ability for 500W fiber laser cutter? 

1.For copper and aluminum, since they are highly reflective material, it’s quite hard for fiber laser cutter to cut them (the reflection is harmful to the fiber laser source). Therefore, the maximum thickness for fiber laser cutting is around 2mm;
2.For stainless steel, it is quite hard. The maximum thickness for fiber laser cutting is around 3mm;
3.For carbon steel, since it contains high volume of carbon, it is relatively soft, which makes it much easier for cutting. The maximum thickness for fiber laser cutting is around 4mm. 

To guarantee the best performance of 500W fiber laser cutter, the key is to provide stable temperature control. S&A Teyu dual circuit laser water chiller is applicable to cool down 500W fiber laser cutter effectively. This fiber laser chiller has two independent water circuits, so it can provide effective cooling for the fiber laser and the laser head at the same time.
