Fiber laser source is the heart of laser processing equipment and play a decisive role in process quality,production efficiency,such as on laser cutting,laser welding.
We know every client want to find the fiber laser source,which good quality,high efficient,safety,low maintenance.So what performance should a good fiber laser source have?
7 principles for selecting fiber lasers
1 laser beam quality
Provides important performance in processing quality.
There are three important indicators for the beam quality of fiber lasers.
Beam parameter product BPP
An important indicator describing the quality of the laser beam. The smaller the BBP value, the smaller the representative beam can be gathered, the higher the power density, the faster the cutting speed of the sheet, the higher the smoothness of the cutting surface, and the copper and aluminum. High-reflection material cutting is possible, which improves the production efficiency, quality and application range of cutting.
Spot roundness
The roundness of the spot describes the uniformity of the energy distribution of the spot in different directions. The spot with high roundness has uniform energy distribution in all directions. When doing non-linear cutting, it can ensure the consistency of cutting surface smoothness and cutting speed in all directions, and ensure the quality of cutting products. .
2D focus
non-2D focus
Spot energy distribution
The spot energy distribution is round, uniform, concentrated, or closer to the Gaussian distribution, the higher the center energy of the focused spot, and the better the spot symmetry. The sharper the blade is when cutting, the cutting speed of the sheet is faster, the smoothness of the cut surface is better, and the consistency of the cut seams is higher.
2 laser output power stability
Provides important performance in processing quality
Describe the stability of the laser output power at full output power (10% – 100%) at different output powers and the stability of long-term use.
Output power stability over the full power range
The lower the stability value, the better the stability of the laser at different output powers, ensuring the consistency of the cut surface finish and cutting speed at different thickness cuts. It can improve the authenticity rate of the products to be cut and ensure the stability of the quality of the cut products.
3 core component quality control
Important performance to reduce equipment failure rate
The core components determine the overall performance and quality of the laser. Outsourcing core components can make the overall performance and quality of the laser difficult to control, and the performance and quality of the laser cutter are uncontrollable. The core component life affects the laser’s failure rate and lifetime, and the high core component life determines the laser’s low failure rate and long life, reducing customer downtime and maintenance costs.
4 laser module redundant hot standby design
Important performance to reduce equipment failure rate
The laser module redundant hot standby design can start the hot standby function when the power module of the laser is faulty, replace the faulty power module with the standby power, and the cutting machine can continue to be used normally, thereby reducing the cost of downtime caused by the failure of some power modules.
5 laser electronic dehumidifier
Important performance to reduce equipment failure rate Condensation occurs when the laser cooling system and the temperature of the cooled device are below the dew point temperature of the surrounding humid air, causing corrosion of the device and causing malfunction. The dehumidification device effectively reduces the internal humidity of the laser, avoids condensation due to excessive humidity, reduces damage to the board and power modules caused by condensation, reduces laser failure rate, and reduces customer laser maintenance costs and downtime costs.
6 laser cabinet protection level
Important performance to reduce equipment failure rate
The laser cabinet protection level describes the waterproof and dustproof level of the cabinet. The high IP level cabinet can effectively prevent external dust and water from entering the cabinet, keep the inside of the laser cabinet clean and dry, avoid laser failure caused by dust and water entering the cabinet, and reduce customer laser maintenance. Cost and downtime costs.
7 Electro-optic conversion efficiency (WPE)
Important performance to reduce operating costs
Describe the ratio of the input power to the output power, the electro-optical conversion efficiency is high, the power consumption is low under a certain output power, the laser heat is low, the power consumption cost of the laser is reduced, and the power consumption cost of the water cooler required for heat dissipation is reduced.
