Plasma &fiber laser cutting machine
For your reference,check the following table:
Plasma power consumption is 6-7 times of fiber, while maintenance also cost a lot of energy and money, fiber-free maintenance.
Subsequent costs are too high, using 5 years maybe not cheaper than optical fiber, but the benefits for you is much worse than the fiber
Items | Plasma laser cutting machine | Fiber laser cutting machine |
Firstly, Cutting speed | Slowly (time cost is much) | Fast (higher work efficient) |
Secondly, Cutting precision | 0.1mm | 0.05mm (much better) |
Thirdly, Principle | High temperature arc | Laser energy |
Fourthly, Material damage | There will be large or small damage, | Laser cutting does not damage the steel |
Fifthly, Cutting gap | Bigger cutting gap | The laser beam is focused into a small spot,the cutting gap is smaller |
Sixthly, Flexibility | CNC programming，cause the cutting precision is not enough,can not cut the smaller objects perfectly | CNC programming, can be processed with any cutting patterns ,no need any molds |
Finally, Purchasing cost | lower | higher |
plasma other disadvantages:
1. cutting surface is roughness
2. Plasma cutting the heat effect is big,the cutting sample’s shape change big.
3. Plasma cutting slit is big,about 3mm
4. Plasma power consumption is quite powerful
5. The spare parts maintainance cost is high
6. The plasma is hurt to people body,it will produce the Poisonous gas,the plasma arc can damage the eyes, and the sparks flying off in all direction when machine working,easy to hurt the skin.
Plasma when working has radiation do harm to the operation workers.
Besides, nowadays fiber laser's price is going down and down, many of your competitors are importing the fiber laser now. If you are interested, I will send you more info
