A metal cutting laser has to use at least 300 w which will run you up to at least 10 000.
Laser power to cut sheet metal.
Certain metal does not react really well with 10640nm wavelength.
Somehow the shorter the laser wavelength the finer the cutting.
Fiber laser has 1064nm while co2 laser has 10640nm wavelength.
With the application of laser cutting machines sheet metal processing technology has been developed rapidly which is brought a revolutionary concept to sheet metal fabrication and processing.
In addition to price metal cutting machines additionally require gas usually oxygen for cutting.
Metal laser cutting machines fiber laser power from 1000w to 36000w open type and full cover protection working table more details just contact us.
Metal laser cutting does not rely on pure laser power in cutting process.

1in 2 645mm 2 a 100 watt laser can achieve a power density of 1550 watts mm 2 in a spot size that is 0 6452mm 2.
You can buy low power machines less than 100 w fairly cheaply but these will hardly scratch a metal surface.
Mike klos laser mechanisms converting to millimeters that s 1550 watts mm 2.
There is another factor that takes into play such as the wavelength of the laser.
Laser cutting and laser engraving are digital making methods available online from ponoko.
A computer directs this laser to follow the cutting line provided in your digital design.
