What thickness can a fibre laser cut?

Cutting thickness depends on laser power. For example, a 6kW fibre laser can typically cut mild steel up to about 20–25 mm, stainless steel up to 15–20 mm, and aluminium up to around 12–16 mm depending on machine configuration and assist gas.

What are the advantages of fibre lasers over CO2 lasers?

Fibre lasers offer higher energy efficiency, faster cutting speeds, lower maintenance requirements, longer laser source lifespan, and better performance on reflective metals such as aluminium and copper.

What industries use fibre laser machines?

Fibre lasers are widely used in metal fabrication, automotive manufacturing, aerospace, engineering, signage production, electronics, and medical device manufacturing.

How much maintenance does a fibre laser require?

Fibre lasers require minimal maintenance compared to CO2 systems. Routine tasks include cleaning lenses and protective windows, checking assist gas lines, and replacing consumables such as nozzles.

What power fibre laser do I need?

The required power depends on the material type, thickness, and production volume. Light fabrication may use 1–3kW systems, while heavy industrial applications typically require 6–12kW or higher.

Do fibre laser machines require special training?

Basic operator training is recommended. Most modern fibre laser machines include intuitive control software, automation features, and safety systems that make them accessible for new operators.

What assist gases are used with fibre lasers?

Common assist gases include nitrogen for clean edges, oxygen for faster cutting of mild steel, and compressed air for cost-effective cutting in certain applications.

How long does a fibre laser source last?

Most fibre laser sources have a lifespan of approximately 80,000 to 100,000 operating hours, allowing many years of continuous industrial use.

What should I consider when choosing a fibre laser machine?

Important factors include laser power, bed size, automation options, control software, after-sales support, warranty coverage, and overall operating costs.

Do Axe & Status offer installation and support?

Yes. Axe & Status provide full installation, commissioning, operator training, and ongoing technical support to ensure optimal machine performance.
