Choosing the right cutting technology is critical for your profitability. We break down the key differences to help you decide.
| Feature | Fiber Laser | CO2 Laser | Plasma |
|---|---|---|---|
| Precision | High (0.02mm) | Medium | Low |
| Maintenance | None (100k hours) | High (Mirrors) | Medium (Consumables) |
| Energy Efficiency | High (30%) | Low (10%) | Low |
| Thin Metal Speed | Extremely Fast | Slow | Fast |
While Plasma offers a lower initial investment for cutting thick plates, its high running costs and lower precision make it unsuitable for high-quality manufacturing.
CO2 lasers used to be the standard, but they are expensive to maintain due to complex optical paths and mirrors that require alignment.
Fiber Laser technology combines the best of all worlds:
