Processing Efficiency Advantages
High Cutting Speed: At the same power level, the speed is twice that of CO₂ laser cutters and 4–5 times that of YAG solid-state laser cutters; for thin-sheet processing, speeds can reach up to 100 meters per minute.
High Electro-Optical Conversion Efficiency: The conversion rate exceeds 30%-three times that of CO₂ models-resulting in significantly improved energy utilization.
No Warm-up Time: Processing can begin immediately upon startup, eliminating the warm-up period required by traditional lasers and enabling higher continuous production throughput.
Processing Precision and Quality Advantages
Excellent Beam Quality: The focused spot size can be less than 0.1 mm, resulting in an extremely narrow kerf and a repeatability precision of ±0.02 mm/m.
Minimal Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ): The duration of localized high-temperature exposure is short, causing virtually no thermal deformation in the workpiece. Cut edges are smooth and perpendicular, typically burr-free, allowing for immediate progression to the next processing stage without the need for secondary finishing.
Non-Contact Processing: The cutting head does not touch the workpiece surface, completely avoiding issues such as scratches or stress-induced deformation associated with mechanical cutting methods.
