To laser cut your design perfectly, different materials would require different types of laser cutting machines. Now, let’s get to know the two most common types of laser cutting machines that can perform different laser cutting services.
Gas Lasers
Also known as CO₂ lasers, these laser cutting machines are mostly used because of its good beam quality and high efficiency. Gas lasers work with carbon dioxide gas mixture stimulated electrically. Since it has a wavelength of 10.6 micrometres, gas lasers work best with non-metallic materials. For this reason they are used to laser cut materials such as glass, paper, wood, leather, fabric, stone and plastics.
Fibre Lasers
Ever wondered what type of laser cutting machines that can cut precise and intricate designs in sheet metal? Fibre lasers function with the help of seed laser which is magnified in glass fibres. These glass fibres are supplied with energy through pump diodes. As a result, fibre lasers can have wavelengths of 1.064 micrometres. For this reason, fibre lasers can produce remarkably small focal diameter and can intensify up to 100 times greater than gas lasers. One of the most effective fibre lasers available today is the Fibermak Momentum Gen-2 that can cut designs up to ¼ inch thick with accuracy, speed and unmatched efficiency.
Baseline Custom Fabricating has acquired a Fibermak Momentum Gen-2 3KW. This fibre laser can cut the most complex parts with extremely high tolerances, accuracy and speed. It can cut size plates in any radius, any size and any design. Furthermore, cutting company logos and signage is simple and easy with this innovative laser cutter. We provide our clients with the best laser cutting services anyone can find in Canada.
