Co2 Laser
Fiber lasers have a very small focal point which makes it impossible to cut through thick materials with them. In these cases, a CO2 Laser is the best option.

Plasma can cut almost any material that is conductive. Laser machines are unable to cut reflective metals like brass, copper, and aluminum.
An optical fiber laser bends the light by refraction. An optical fiber cable transmits light through an impure transparent silica core. The core is then covered with cladding. This is another layer of silica, doped with additional materials to lower its refractive index. Due to their differing refractive indexes, light will be refracted at the core-clad interface.
Make sure you buy safety glasses that block the laser light of 1064 nm when buying safety glasses for this machine.
Raycus 50W Fiber Laser can be used to etch and mark aluminum at 90 degrees angles. It uses 100% of the laser's power.

For the most demanding fabrication requirements, with thick materials and no room for error, our CO2 lasers can give your products and your business a serious edge.
Fiber laser is a type of high energy laser beam based on fiber amplifier that uses glass fiber doped with rare earth ions as the gain medium. The pump light irradiates the rare-earth-doped glass fiber pump source, which induces the rare-earth ions to absorb photons, and the excited radiation has the same frequency as the incident photons. Under the action of pump light, it is easy to form high power density in the fiber, which results population inversion of the laser working substance. When a positive feedback loop (constituting a resonant cavity) is properly added, the laser oscillation output can be formed. Fiber lasers have a wide range of applications, including material processing, communications, medical beauty, scientific research and military, instrumentation and sensors. It has been used for cutting, engraving, etching, marking, welding, surface treatment, cleaning, cladding, and some other applications.
Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. (FM1212-50S) can engrave acrylics, brick, granite and marble, tile as well as aluminum, gold, silver stainless steel, brass or titanium.
“We went to fewer machines with lower kilowatts, yet we now have higher throughput because the machines operate more intelligently and the automation prevents bottlenecks. The combination has allowed us to get work through faster at a more competitive price and actually gain more work.”
Other engraving area options available are 6.9" x 6.9", 5.9" x 5.9", 4.3" x 4.3", and 2.6" x 2.6". You can choose them depending on your operational requirement.
Raycus 50W fiber-laser can mark or etch in aluminum at a angle of 90° using 100% of its laser power.
Laser machines can cut any material. The type of laser machine you use will determine the material that can be cut. A CO2 laser machine is unable to cut through reflective materials like brass, copper, and aluminum. However, they can cut through nonmetallic material like wood and polymer.
Maximum material cutting thicknesses by 1000W fiber laser cutting machine: Carbon steel has a maximum thickness of 10mm; stainless steel has a maximum thickness of 5mm; aluminum plate has a maximum thickness of 3mm; and copper plate has a maximum thickness of 3mm.
Marking and engraving are improved by high peak power and nanosecond pulses. The increased power and improved beam quality result in cleaner cut edges and faster cutting speeds. Fiber lasers are also used in material processing, telecommunications, spectroscopy, medicine, and directed energy weapons.
What Materials Can Be Cut With A Fiber Laser? A fiber laser cutting machine can cut sheet metal such as carbon steel, stainless steel, copper, brass, aluminum, and titanium. Fiber lasers outperform CO2 lasers in cutting reflective materials.
