1.What is a fiber laser cutter?

  Fiber laser cutter is a CNC laser cutting system for metal, which is with high cutting quality, high cutting speed, high cutting precision and high cutting efficiency. It is suitable for most of of metal cutting and the fiber laser cutting machine is your good partner in metal processing. Equipped with different power (from 1,000W to 30,000w), it is used to cut metal materials with different thickness, such as stainless steel, carbon steel, electrical steel, galvanized steel, aluminum zinc plate, aluminum, aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, copper, brass, iron, etc. Fiber laser cutting machine is also called fiber laser metal cutting machine, fiber laser cutting machine, fiber laser cutting system, fiber laser cutting equipment, metal laser cutting machine, fiber optic laser cutter, laser metal cutter, laser cutter machine for metal, CNC laser cutter, CNC laser cutting machine, cnc laser metal cutter, fiber optic laser cutting machine.

2.What is a fiber laser generator?

The Fiber laser generator is used in the fiber optic laser cutter, and it a laser generator with rare earth doped glass fiber as gain medium. The pump light of the fiber optic laser generator is used to irradiate the glass fiber pump source doped with rare earth elements, which stimulates the absorption of photons by rare earth ions. The excitation radiation is the same as the incident photon frequency, and the propagation direction coherent light and vibration direction are amplified by light to generate high-energy laser.

Fiber laser generator has a wide range of applications, such as the material processing, medical beauty, communication, instruments and sensors, scientific research and military, etc. The largest field of fiber optic laser application, material processing has developed many application technologies such as laser cutting marking, welding, cleaning and surface treatment, and cladding.

Fiber laser cutting industry has become the most widely used field for fiber laser technology. Because the working medium of optical fiber laser generator is optical fiber, its characteristics are affected by the transition characteristics of optical fiber. The fiber laser pump light entering the optical fiber generally has a variety of modes, and the signal photoelectric may have a variety of modes. Different fiber laser pump modes have different effects on different signal modes, which makes the analysis of fiber laser generator and amplifier more complex. The doping distribution in the optical fiber also has a great influence on the fiber laser generator. In order to make the medium have gain characteristics, working ions (i.e. impurities) are doped into the optical fiber laser.

Generally, the working ions are evenly distributed in the core. However, the distribution of different modes of pump light in the fiber is uneven. In order to improve the pumping efficiency of the fiber laser, the ion distribution and pumping energy distribution should be as close as possible. When analyzing the optical fiber laser generator, in addition to the general principle of the laser generator discussed above, we should also consider its own characteristics, introduce different models and adopt special analysis methods to achieve good analysis results.

Like the traditional solid and gas laser generator, the fiber laser generator is also composed of three basic components: pump source, gain medium and resonator. The pump source of the fiber optic laser generally adopts high-power semiconductor laser generator, and the gain medium is rare earth doped fiber or ordinary nonlinear fiber. The resonator can be composed of various linear resonators such as fiber grating and optical feedback element, or various linear resonators can be composed of couplers. An annular cavity.

The pump light of the fiber optic laser is coupled to the gain fiber through an appropriate optical system. After absorbing the pump light, the gain fiber forms particle number inversion or nonlinear gain to produce spontaneous emission. The generated spontaneous emission light forms a stable laser output through the excitation amplification and mode selection of the resonator.

3.How does the fiber laser cutting machine work?

Through the numerical control system, the optical fiber laser cutting machine is with an optical fiber laser generator, which dopes the pump material into the optical fiber and couples the laser of specific wavelength emitted by the semiconductor laser to make the optical fiber produce laser. And then, the optical fiber laser cutter converges the laser beam into a small-diameter spot to form a high-energy density and extremely bright beam, which will act on the cut metal to make the metal temperature at the laser irradiation point rise sharply and reach the vaporization temperature instantly, causing evaporation and forming holes. The laser cutting machine takes this as the starting point and makes the fiber laser beam move relative to the workpiece according to a certain trajectory according to the shape requirements of the workpiece to be cut to form a slit. At the same time, the auxiliary blowing device is used for slag removal.
