With the continuous improvement of people’s demand and cognition, the market demand for laser cutting is constantly increasing, and people’s requirements for laser cutting are becoming higher. Laser cutting not only needs to be able to cut, but also needs to cut better and thicker, especially in terms of cutting thickness. So how thick can laser cutting machine cut?

Metal laser cutting machine mainly cuts various metal materials, including stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, aluminum plate, silver, copper, titanium and other metal materials. The key advantages of the metal laser cutting machine are reflected in the actual application process. The cutting ability of the fiber laser cutting machine is also related to the quality of the cutting machine, the type of laser, the cutting environment, the cutting speed and other factors. The use of auxiliary gas can also improve the cutting ability. Therefore, there is no absolute standard to judge the cutting thickness. Generally speaking, the thicker the metal steel plate, the more difficult it is to cut. Users need to pay special attention when purchasing laser cutters, and choose the appropriate laser configuration according to their actual needs.

So, how thick can the fiber laser cutting machine with various powers cut the metal plate?
1. The maximum cutting thickness of different materials of 500W metal laser cutting machine: the maximum thickness of carbon steel is 6mm; The maximum thickness of stainless steel is 3mm; The maximum thickness of aluminum plate is 2mm; The maximum thickness of copper plate is 2mm;
2. The maximum thickness of different materials cut by 1000W metal laser cutting machine: the maximum thickness of carbon steel is 10mm; The maximum thickness of stainless steel is 5mm; The maximum thickness of aluminum plate is 3mm; The maximum thickness of copper plate is 3mm;
3. The maximum thickness of different materials cut by 2000W metal laser cutting machine: the maximum thickness of carbon steel is 16mm; The maximum thickness of stainless steel is 8mm; The maximum thickness of aluminum plate is 5mm; The maximum thickness of copper plate is 5mm;
In the process of practical application,the cutting ability of the fiber laser cutting machine is also related to the quality

For different metal materials, the cutting thickness of different power metal laser cutting machines has a great relationship with the cutting materials. Due to many external factors, the actual cutting ability is also related to the quality of laser cutting machine, cutting environment, auxiliary gas, cutting speed and other factors.
How to choose a suitable laser cutting machine should be considered from three aspects.
1.Price does not necessarily have to be the cheapest, a higher cost-effectiveness is sufficient.
2.The effect should be considered from two aspects: cutting quality and accuracy. On the premise of meeting one’s own cutting accuracy and quality, relatively inexpensive equipment is suitable for oneself.
3.The use of laser power and auxiliary gas will affect the cutting speed, and the disguised effect will affect the equipment’s return time, which is also worth considering.
