What are Fibre Laser Cutters?

Fibre laser Cutters are advanced machines used in Precision cutting jobs, they play a crucial role in metalworking workshops. Fibre laser cutters can be used to process a wide range of metals including Steel, Aluminium, Copper and brass, Titanium and nickel alloys and more.

 

Fibre laser cutters are used in sheet metal and production workshops and generate a laser using optical fibre, which is then directed onto the material to be cut. Fibre laser machinery is renowned for its speed, accuracy and versatility. Fibre laser cutting machines can be used to cut materials other than metal too, including some plastics and Composites.

How do Fibre Laser Cutters Work?

Before cutting, the metal sheet or workpiece is prepared by cleaning it surface and placing it on the Laser cutting bed or worktable. The cutting parameters, including path, speed, power, and focus are all programmed into the CNC system of the fibre laser cutter. This is usually done using CAD/CAM software, which allows for precise control and customisation of cutting design.

Fibre laser cutters operate by generating a high-energy laser beam within an optical fibre. This beam is then focused onto the metal material to be cut, heating and melting it along the programmed cutting path. Gas, such as oxygen or nitrogen, assists in blowing away debris for clean cuts. Systems for cooling the laser and extracting fumes ensure a safe work environment. Throughout the process, cutting parameters are monitored to ensure precise cuts meet specifications.

What can you cut on a fibre laser cutter?

Mild Steel

All of our fibre laser cutters will cut mild/carbon steel. How thick you can cut is depend on what power source you choose.

Stainless Steel

Cutting stainless steel with one of our Glorystar or Fibermak laser cutters is easily achievable and at high accuracy.

Aluminium

If you’re looking to process aluminium on a fibre laser cutter, we can advise you on the best possible cutting solution for this reflective material.

Titanium

Titanium plate can be cut using our Glorystar and Fibermak fibre laser cutters*. When looking to cut titanium plate, adjustments will need to be made to the assist gasses and the nozzle used during the cutting process.

Brass & Copper

Due to the high reflectivity of brass and copper, alterations will need to be made to the power and speed settings. Anti reflection optics will need to be used to protect your laser’s internal components from the laser light.
