Today we will discuss laser cutting machines for copper cutting. Copper is an important part of many industrial,
technical and engineering projects. Cutting copper is a challenging task because the metal acts more like a mirror than an absorber of infrared lasers.
Although there are several different types of 2kw fiber laser source.
We most often recommend using fiber laser cutting machines to cut copper and other non-ferrous metals.
Below we will share more about why and how chuyu's advanced machinery can help you get the best results from the copper manufacturing process.
Why do manufacturers choose copper
The main advantage of using copper in industrial manufacturing is its thermal and electrical properties. And its ability to resist corrosion.
People can also transform into lines or shapes in various ways without losing their strength.
Laser cutting copper can be used to cut materials used in construction, electronics and plumbing.
Copper is also very effective in forming alloys with other metals. These alloys have many of the same properties as copper.
As a result, the same challenges are faced in determining the best way to cut.
Choose the right copper laser cutting machine
Even though there are many options available for cutting copper.
Traditionally, we use CO2 laser cutting machines to cut copper because it is able to cleanly cut thick materials.
CO2 lasers have long been the best way to cut copper and have been a popular choice throughout the industry.
Fiber lasers started using more advanced technology around 2008.
Fiber laser cutters make cutting copper more efficient and economical because the beam does not reflect back to the resonator and cause damage.
They are also ideal for cutting copper as they can cut a wide range of material thicknesses from thin to thick.
