Modern metalworking requires equipment capable of providing high speed, impeccable accuracy and stable results with minimal operating costs. METALTEC fiber laser cutters supplied by STANKY LLC represent just such a solution — a combination of advanced technologies, thoughtful design and affordable cost.
In this article, we will take a detailed look at the advantages of METALTEC fiber lasers, their technical characteristics, applications, and key criteria for choosing equipment for your production.
What is a fiber laser cutter and why is it beneficial?
A fiber—optic laser cutter is a high-tech equipment in which a laser beam is generated in an active fiber doped with ions of rare earth elements (usually ytterbium) and transmitted through a flexible fiber-optic cable to a cutting head. The wavelength of this radiation is about 1.07 microns, which ensures excellent energy absorption by most metals, from carbon and stainless steel to aluminum, copper and brass.
Compared to gas (Co₂) lasers, fiber technologies demonstrate a number of undeniable advantages.:
- Higher efficiency — up to 30-40% versus 8-10% for gas lasers;
- Compact — the radiation source takes up a minimum of space;
- Low operating costs — no consumable gases for beam generation, replacement of diode pumps only;
- Durability — the service life of the laser source reaches 100,000 hours;
- Flexibility — the ability to cut both sheet materials and pipes of various profiles on the same equipment.
The range of METALTEC fiber-optic cutters
The MACHINE TOOLS company offers a wide range of METALTEC fiber laser machines capable of solving tasks of any complexity — from small-scale production to large-scale cutting.
Sheet metal cutting machines
The flagship model in this category is the METALTEC 1530B G5 with a 3000W laser power source. The working table of the machine has dimensions of 1530 × 3050 mm, which makes it possible to process rolled sheets of standard dimensions. The weight of the equipment is 2300 kg, which guarantees
