    What to keep in mind when using fiber lasers

    There are several ways to make cuts through laser techniques. In this post we will talk about the most current, which is making a big hole in the market. This is the fiber laser.

    Different variants must be taken into account when performing laser cutting.

    There are several ways to make cuts using laser techniques. In this post we will talk about the most current, which is making a big hole in the market. This is the fiber laser. 

    This laser is being very demanded because it includes a high speed accompanied by a high level of quality, which has much to do with cutting the CO2 laser. The difference is that the maintenance of this technique has a much lower cost than CO2.

    The most significant advantages of the fiber laser are, mainly, its low energy consumption, its long life, higher productivity and easy operation.

    When working with this type of laser must take into account a number of precautions that it is advisable to put into practice:

    Always use eye safety. Sometimes sparks can jump and damage the eyes. It is recommended to use specific lenses prepared for this type of machines.

    Be informed beforehand. Before using the fiber laser is recommended to be prepared and informed about its operation, to ensure that we use the system correctly and, above all, in a safe manner.

    Not all materials work. The fiber laser is very useful for most components and almost all can be used. But the truth is that there are some such as acrylic or polycarbonate that under no circumstances can be used or treated with the technique of fiber laser.

     Beware of wood and fabrics. The fiber laser can work with these materials, but in a limited way.

    Look at the thickness. It is advisable to note the size of the material cut to use a particular fiber laser.

    Watch out for temperature. It is important that the components do not have contact with very high temperatures, much less with sunlight. The ambient temperature is ideal for this type of laser.

    In conclusion, the fiber laser is a relatively new technique, which is becoming increasingly important due to its great advantages, among which the most important are its low energy consumption and minimal costs.
