![]() They are more capable and able to focus the beam into 1/10th the diameter of a CO2 system giving lower wattage systems much more capability and power. They operated much more efficiently, lost far less power from mirrors and lenses then their CO2 counterparts thus put more cutting power to the torch. Fiber Lasers were simply different than their cousin, the CO2 laser resonator. ![]() ![]() But the reality was that there was much learning that needed to be done for OEM’s, Dealers and Manufacturers alike. Unfortunately OEM’s and Dealers were slow to educate equipment buyers/Manufacturer's of the differences in cutting speeds & capacities that Solid State and Fiber Lasers brought to the table.Īs the argument did not go away with the introduction of this new technology, the dealers capitalized on the need for more power as higher power and wattages also meant more sales dollars. While all of this was true, it only applied to the CO2 technology of the time. We had the data to prove that increasing your wattage on a machine increased your speed and thus throughput. ![]() For many years we as manufacturers, distributors and OEM’s of laser cutting systems were taught that Power (KW) IS Capacity & Speed.
