In modern manufacturing, fiber laser cutting machine technology has become a common cutting method. Among the many laser cutting equipment, fiber laser cutting machines above 10,000 watts have received widespread attention and application due to their powerful cutting ability and high working efficiency. So, how thick can laser cutting machines above 10,000 watts cut? In this article, we will give a detailed answer to this.

12000 watt fiber laser cutting machine

For a 12000 watt fiber laser cutting machine, the maximum thickness it can cut is 45mm. Compared with other types of lasers, cutting heads and systems, using a 12000 watt laser cutting machine can save 15% of materials and can compress the working cycle by one third.

20000 watt fiber laser cutting machine

For a 20000 watt fiber laser cutting machine, the cutting thickness of carbon steel can reach 36mm. If the steel plate is of good quality, the cutting speed can reach 650mm/min. For stainless steel, the cutting thickness can reach 25mm, and when high-pressure nitrogen is used as an auxiliary gas, the cutting speed is about 400mm/min.

Advantages of laser cutting

The significant advantages of laser cutting technology over other cutting methods are:

Good cutting quality. Narrow incision width, high precision, good incision surface roughness, and the cut seam generally does not need to be reprocessed for welding.

Fast cutting speed. For large-scale production needs, laser cutting can greatly improve production efficiency.

Through the above analysis, we can see that the 10,000-watt fiber laser cutting machine has obvious advantages in cutting thickness. However, how thick the material can be cut needs to be judged based on the specific parameters of the equipment and the properties of the cutting material.
