Compared with other equipment, the running cost of fiber laser cutting machine should be the lowest. The running cost includes 3 parts: electric power, auxiliary gas and quick wear parts.
Electric power
Real machine running cost occupy 60%~70% of whole power.
Auxiliary gas consumption
One gas tank is 40L in China.
1).Nitrogen consumption is the same for different thickness stainless steel.
It’s consumption of continue cutting is about 20~30min/tank.
2). Oxygen consumption will decline when carbon steel thickness increase.
The thicker the carbon steel, the less the gas consumption.
For example, 1mm carbon steel cutting gas consumption is about 50~60min/tank. 10mm carbon steel cutting gas consumption is about several hours/tank.We recommend you use liquid gas, its cost will be much more lower.
Most of our customers use it.
3. Quick wear parts
Main quick wear parts include nozzle and protective lens.
First year their consumption is about 20~30 pieces, but the cost will decline later.
As their consumption have big relationship with workers’ operation.
Nozzle 10USD/piece; Protective lens 15USD/piece.
So the cost of nozzle and protective lens is about 500USD per year.
4. Other parts. Focus lens, collimating lens and ceramic rings are not common quick wear parts.
You just need to prepare 1 set for spare, their total cost is 350USD.
Hope above can let you know more about fiber laser cutting machine running cost.
For the second of last year, more and more customers ask high power fiber laser cutting machine.
According to the talking with visitors,now the higher power is more and more popular.
Almost customers told me they need 2000w or 3000w or 4000w and 6000w power, and even 8000w power.
Even some customers only cut 1-2mm stainless steel, they prefer to choose higher power. Why need a higher power?
They said they need higher cutting speed to get more cutting pieces.
And they know it is a trend of higher power using,the cost is also going down than several years ago.
Why not have one higher power machine.
For example, in 2015, maybe one 1kw machine is around USD80000,now,a 3kw machine is around USD80000.
Of course, before purchasing, it is important to know machine well.
Firstly, for now, almost suppliers use the same main parts, like laser source: IPG or Raycus or nLIGHT.
Different price level, the three brands are stable, depends on different region customers choice. Some region prefer the made in German,some region prefer the cost-effective brand.
Secondly, laser head, in China, Raytools is the most popular, it is originally from Swiss, a long history company.
Or some customers want Precitec, also no problem.
Thirdly, software.Cypcut is great, 98% suppliers use this brand. If higher power, 4000w,6000w,8000w,then Simens is suitable.
Except these main parts, the details will make customers interested.
For example, some thin metal clamping fixture, some material uploading rollers. Or cameras to monitor the inside cutting. Or wifi function, etc.
The details is to make the working more convenient.
So if you are looking for the fiber laser cutting machine,we can have a further discussion.
And we recommend to choose a higher power,for laser source suppliers,they also will get rid of the lower powers,like 500w,700w,etc.

Nine standards for laser cutting machine cutting quality judgment
Judging the quality of the laser cutting machine is the best way to judge the performance of the laser cutting equipment intuitively. Here are some of the nine criteria for judging.
1. Roughness.
The laser cutting section will form vertical lines. The depth of the lines determines the roughness of the cutting surface. The lighter the lines, the smoother the cutting surface. Roughness affects not only the appearance of the edges, but also the friction characteristics. In most cases, it is necessary to reduce the roughness as much as possible, so the shallower the texture, the higher the cutting quality.
2. Verticality.
If the thickness of the sheet metal exceeds 10mm, the verticality of the cutting edge is very important. As you move away from the focus, the laser beam becomes divergent, and depending on the position of the focus, the cut becomes wider toward the top or bottom. The cutting edge is a few millimeters from the vertical line. The more vertical the edge, the higher the cutting quality.
3. Cutting width.
Generally speaking, the cut width does not affect the cutting quality. Only when a particularly precise contour is formed inside the part, the cutting width has an important effect. This is because the cutting width determines the minimum inner diameter of the contour. Increase. Therefore, we want to ensure the same high accuracy, regardless of the width of the cut, the workpiece should be constant in the processing area of the laser cutting machine.
4. Lines.
When cutting thick plates at high speeds, the molten metal does not appear in the cuts under the vertical laser beam, but instead sprays out at the rear of the laser beam. As a result, curved lines are formed at the cutting edge, and the lines closely follow the moving laser beam. To correct this problem, reducing the feed rate at the end of the cutting process can greatly eliminate the formation of lines.
5. Glitch.
The formation of burrs is a very important influencing factor in determining the quality of laser cutting. Because the removal of burrs requires additional work, the severity and amount of burrs can intuitively judge the cutting quality.
6. Material deposition.
The laser cutting machine encounters a special oily liquid on the surface of the workpiece before it starts melting the perforations. During the cutting process, because the gasification and various materials are not used, the customer uses wind to remove the cuts, but the upward or downward discharge will also cause deposits on the surface.
7. Sagging and corrosion.
Sinking and corrosion have an adverse effect on the surface of the cutting edge, affecting the appearance. They appear in cutting errors that should normally be avoided.
8. Heat affected area.
In laser cutting, the area near the cut is heated. At the same time, the structure of the metal changes. For example, some metals will harden. The heat affected area refers to the depth of the area where the internal structure changes.
9. Deformation.
If the cutting heats the part sharply, it will deform. This is especially important in fine machining, where the contours and webs are usually only a few tenths of a millimeter wide. Controlling laser power and using short laser pulses can reduce component heating and avoid distortion.

Can Fiber Laser Cutting Machine Use Air As Auxiliary Gas?
Why should the auxiliary gas be added to the fiber laser cutting machine when cutting metal materials?
There are four reasons
The first is to make auxiliary gas and metal materials chemical reaction, increase the strength of the ability.
The second is to help the equipment blow off the slag from the cutting area and clean the slit.
The third is to reduce the size of the heat affected zone by cooling the adjacent area of the slit.
The fourth is to protect the focus lens and prevent the burning product from contaminating the optical lens.
What are the auxiliary gases commonly used in fiber laser cutting machines? Can air be used as auxiliary gas?
Laser cutting experts tell everyone that fiber laser cutting machine in cutting metal sheet, can choose nitrogen, oxygen, air these three types of gas as auxiliary gas.
Their roles are as follows:
Nitrogen:
When cutting a color plate such as stainless steel or aluminum, choose nitrogen as an auxiliary gas to cool and protect the material. When cutting metal section is relatively bright, good results.
Oxygen:
When cutting carbon steel, you can use oxygen because oxygen has the function of cooling and accelerating combustion to accelerate cutting. cutting speed is the fastest of all gases.
Air:
For cost savings, use air to cut stainless steel, but there are subtle burrs on the back. Just sand it with sandpaper. This means that the fiber laser cutter can choose air as auxiliary gas when cutting certain materials. And when using air have to select Air compressors.
However, laser cutting experts suggest, such as 1000 watts fiber laser cutting machine examples. 1mm of carbon steel and stainless steel is best cut with nitrogen or air, the effect will be better. With oxygen will burn edge, the effect is not ideal.
Hope it is helpful for you.If you have any confused of machine,welcome to contact to XT LASER.

The main components of the laser cutting machine are circuit system, transmission system, cooling system, light source system and dust removal system. The main parts of the daily maintenance that need to be maintained are the cooling system, the dust removal system, the optical path system, and the transmission system. Next, we will take you to learn about equipment maintenance tips.
Firstly, cooling system maintenance
The water inside the water cooler needs to be replaced regularly, and the frequency of replacement is usually one week. The water quality and water temperature of the circulating water directly affect the service life of the laser tube. It is recommended to use pure water or distilled water and control the water temperature below 35 °C. It is easy to form scale without changing the water for a long time, thus blocking the waterway, so be sure to change water regularly.
Secondly, dust removal system maintenance
After a long time of use, the fan will accumulate a lot of dust, which will affect the exhaust and deodorization effects, and will also generate noise. When the fan is found to have insufficient suction and poor smoke exhaust, first turn off the power. Remove the dust from the inlet and outlet air ducts on the fan. Then turn the fan upside down, stir the blades inside until they are clean, and then install the fan. Fan maintenance cycle: about one month.
Thirdly, the optical system maintenance
After the machine works for a period of time, the surface of the lens will be glued with a layer of ash due to the working environment. This will reduce the reflectivity of the reflecting lens and the transmittance of the lens. And it ultimately affect the working power of the machine. At this time, use a cotton wool and ethanol to carefully wipe along the center of the lens to the edge. The lens should be gently wiped to prevent damage to the surface coating; the wiping process should be handled gently to prevent it from falling; be sure to keep the concave surface facing down when installing the focusing mirror.
