Fiber laser vs. CO 2 –laser ParameterCO 2 –lasersFiber Lasers Wave length, mkm10,61,07 BPP, mm x mrad3...61, Wall plug Efficiency, % Maintenance costs, in rel. units10,1 Periodicity of lamps and laser diodes substitution, hrs. -> Cutting speed, in rel. units11,1…3

Wave length difference between the absorption coefficients – cutting non-ferrous metals focusing into a spot smaller diameter – minimal heat affected zone, cutting thin and deformable metals

Excellent Beam Parameter Product creation of the light is 200% more efficient no expensive optical path flexible optical fiber up to 300 m long the focusing lens is sealed in the cutting head

Coefficient of efficiency Wall-plug efficiencies greater than 30% considerably lower running costs

Maintenance costs 50% longer servicing intervals 50% lower servicing costs No moving parts or mirrors - reducing maintenance requirements and operating costs

Laser diodes substitution fiber laser is modular, built from multiple laser units allows the laser system to incorporate reserve modules and power margins could be supplied in bigger case for further gradual upgrade
