Read Full ArticleCustom metal fabricators who manufacture parts and equipment for food service, aerospace, farming, and other industries, need to deliver precise and clean cuts on every fabrication. That’s why investing in specialized fiber laser cutting equipment is so important, as it allows metal fabrication shops to deliver high-precision processing of metal plates and pipe for their customers. Alpha Lazer™ provides state-of-the-art …
Read Full ArticleAluminum, copper, brass, and stainless steel are popular metals used to make a variety of different products that customers like for their sleek appearance and mirror-like finish. But it’s this very reflectivity that presents challenges to fabricators who use carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers to process these metals. In short, highly reflective materials can lead to serious issues with cut quality …
Read Full ArticleFiber laser cutting machines give fabricators a quick and effective way to cut sheet metal. These lasers provide more precise and cleaner cuts than CO2 lasers and have a longer lifespan. Since their introduction in 2008, fiber laser systems have become veritable workhorses in the fabrication industry. They may not be the least expensive metal cutting systems available, but the …
Read Full ArticleTheir compact, solid-state design and low cost of operation make fiber laser tables the preferred cutting machines for sheet metal fabrication. Fiber lasers provide much faster cutting speeds than CO2 lasers and can cut copper, brass, and aluminum better and more safely because the fiber laser beam is more readily absorbed and not reflected. In fact, a fiber laser machine’s …
Read Full ArticleLaser cutting systems represent a major investment. They can cost anywhere from $200,000 to $1,500,000, so it makes sense to ask whether outsourcing vs purchasing a laser cutting system is cost effective. In short, the answer may depend on the kind of manufacturing your company performs. If most of your projects do not require the fine accuracy of laser cutting, …
Read Full ArticleFiber laser cutting tables have two general applications: fabricating metal plates and cutting tube and pipe. At Alpha Lazer™, our solutions include a combination option that allows for both applications on the same table. By equipping your fiber laser cutting machine with a rotary attachment, you can fabricate flat plates and tubes/pipes more efficiently, and you can save space in …
Read Full ArticleFiber Laser technology is the new standard. Fiber laser cutting solutions account for 80% of the sheet metal laser cutting market for steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, in 1/4″ thickness or less. Manufacturers currently using C02 profile cutting lasers are seeing many advantages in upgrading their existing CO2 lasers to a fiber; they achieve comparable cut quality and significantly higher …
Read Full ArticleShould you upgrade to fiber laser? Here are a few fundamentals to help you determine whether a fiber laser will benefit your company. 1. What material and thickness are you cutting? The material type and thickness is a good place to start. If you are cutting primarily thinner material (80% less than 0.5 in thick), fiber laser might be worth …
