Laser cutter has become quite common these days. It offers unmatched cutting quality and cutting speed, which outperforms many traditional cutting methods. But for many people who are the laser cutter users, they often have a misunderstanding - the higher the laser cutter power the better? But is it really the case?


Well, absolutely not. In terms of laser power, laser cutter can be divided into low power laser cutter, middle power laser cutter and high power laser cutter. For relatively thin stainless steel sheet and carbon steel sheet, low power laser cutter should be sufficient to perform high quality cutting while maintaining high cutting speed. Choosing the right one can help you not only improve the working efficiency but also save considerable operating cost. So what should be considered when selecting a proper laser cutter? 


1.The type and thickness of the materials to be processed

Generally speaking, the thicker the materials, the bigger the cutting difficulty. That means thicker materials require laser cutters of higher power. And there are two common types of laser cutters. One is CO2 laser cutter and the other is fiber laser cutter. For cutting non-metal materials, CO2 laser cutter is often the ideal option. And for metal materials, fiber laser cutter works better. 


2.Your budget

Many people would consider the ratio of investment and output. It is normal that the higher the power of the laser cutter, the more expensive it will be. And different configurations inside the laser cutter also lead to price difference.


But no matter what laser cutter you get in the end, there is one thing you can’t ignore - cooling problem. Either CO2 laser or fiber laser can generate heat in the operation. And the higher the power, the more heat the laser cutter would generate. If those heat continues to accumulate, it will certainly lead to serious problem like machine shut down. And a laser chiller is often the “cure” for this issue. 


S&A Chiller offers a wide variety of laser water chillers for fiber laser, CO2 laser and many other laser sources ranging from low power to high power. The cooling capacity can be up to 30KW and the temperature stability can be up to ±0.3°C.
