Your doctor keeps telling you that you need more fiber, and he’s right! But just as dietary fiber is necessary for your physical health, you may find that introducing a fiber laser into your production can give you a much healthier bottom line.
For cutting accuracy and efficiency, the fiber laser cutting machine stands head and shoulders above other cutting systems, such as CO2 lasers or plasma cutting machines. Fiber lasers are designed for energy efficiency. The laser beam is transmitted directly from the resonator through a fiber optic cable to the cutting head. This solid-state design does not require any mirrors or optical devices to transmit the laser beam.
Fiber lasers are an ideal choice for cutting reflective materials such as copper, brass, aluminum, and stainless steel. Unlike a CO2 laser that use electricity to ignite laser gas, that includes gases like Helium, Nitrogen and Carbon Dioxide to produce the laser beam, fiber lasers use a Compact Ytterbium Fiber Laser System that is directly feed into the core of the flexible fiber optic cable.
Fiber lasers do not require expensive gases to operate and they use less electricity. Fiber has a 35% wall efficiency as compared to CO2 that has an 8% wall efficiency. Another big advantage of fiber laser cutting machines is that fiber lasers are less expensive to operate.
Bud’s Machine Tools carries Bodor fiber lasers, and our customers have been excited to discover that they are built with the right name-brand components and are available at the right price.
We have installed several Bodor fiber lasers near our offices in Utah, and we’d love to take you to check them out in person and learn first hand from some of the owners exactly what they think about these precise, yet very affordable fiber lasers.
Please give us a call today to set up a presentation on the benefits of the fiber lasers we sell.
