Common FAQs about our industrial laser cutters

In this section, you'll find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about our range of Baykal laser cutters.

Investing in laser machinery is a significant step for your business, and you may have several additional questions. If you can't find the information you're looking for here, don't hesitate to click the button below and get in touch with one of our CNC laser cutting specialists. They'll be more than happy to provide you with the answers you need and help you make an informed decision about upgrading your cutting capabilities with a Baykal fiber optic laser.

How does a laser cutter work?

A laser cutter (in this case specifically a fiber laser) is an advanced machine that uses a high-intensity laser beam generated by a fiber laser resonator to cut various materials precisely. The resonator contains a rare-earth element, usually ytterbium, embedded in a fiber optic cable, resulting in a compact, efficient, high-powered laser source.

The laser beam is transmitted through the fiber optic cable to the cutting head, which focuses the beam onto the material surface. The focused beam has a high power density, enabling it to melt or vaporise the material along the cutting path. Fiber lasers maintain a small focused spot size over a longer distance, allowing for precise cutting of thicker materials, faster cutting speeds, and a smaller heat-affected zone (HAZ).

Guided by a CNC system, laser cutting machines such as our Baykal range can produce intricate shapes with exceptional accuracy and repeatability. Laser cutters offer high energy efficiency, lower maintenance, and longer operational lifetimes than other laser-cutting technologies.

What are the advantages of using fiber laser?

Fiber optic lasers, with their remarkable speed, offer numerous advantages. They allow for quick processing times, highly accurate cuts, and the ability to handle a variety of materials and thicknesses. The speed of fiber lasers ensures that tasks are completed efficiently and on time, contributing to the overall productivity of your operations.

Fiber laser machines are highly energy-efficient, consuming less power compared to traditional cutting methods. Moreover, they require minimal maintenance, with fewer consumables and longer-lasting components. This combination of energy efficiency and low maintenance helps businesses reduce operating costs, allowing them to allocate resources more effectively and maintain a competitive edge.

Summed up, the enhanced efficiency and boosted productivity enables businesses to meet tight deadlines, take on more projects, and grow their customer base. Furthermore, the precision and speed of fiber laser cutting machines contribute to faster turnaround times, improving customer satisfaction and loyalty.

What's the difference between CO2 lasers and fiber lasers?

CO2 and fiber lasers are two distinct types of laser cutting technologies. CO2 lasers use a gas mixture to generate the laser beam, while fiber lasers employ a solid-state laser source that relies on optical fibers doped with rare-earth elements.

The fundamental difference in the laser generation method results in fiber laser cutters offering distinct advantages over CO2 lasers. These include higher energy efficiency, lower maintenance requirements, and faster cutting speeds, particularly for thin materials, making them a superior choice in these contexts.

Fiber lasers also provide superior beam quality and smaller focused spot sizes, enabling more precise and intricate cuts. Fiber lasers have a longer lifespan and are more compact than CO2 lasers, making them a space-saving and cost-effective choice for many applications. Ultimately, the choice between a CO2 laser and a fiber laser depends on the specific materials, thicknesses, and applications involved in your manufacturing process.

Are laser cutters eco friendly?

Many consider fibre laser cutters generally more energy-efficient than traditional cutting methods, such as plasma cutting. One notable reason for fiber laser cutters' energy efficiency is the use of fiber optic laser delivery systems, which reduce the need for cooling capacity and consequently lower energy consumption.

The precision of laser cutting allows for close nesting of parts, enabling efficient use of materials and minimising waste. As a non-contact process, laser cutting requires fewer consumables compared to traditional methods, reducing the environmental impact of tool production and disposal.

Furthermore, laser cutting produces clean, precise cuts with minimal heat-affected zones, reducing the need for secondary finishing processes that can generate waste or require harmful chemicals.

What thickness can a laser cutter handle?

The maximum material thickness that Baykal laser cutters can handle depends on the specific model and laser power configuration. Baykal offers two main series of laser cutters: the BLE-Pro and the BLS, each with different laser power options and corresponding cutting capabilities.

According to the technical specifications, the BLE-Pro series with a 1kW laser power can cut mild steel up to 12 mm, stainless steel up to 4 mm, and aluminium up to 3 mm. When equipped with a 6kW laser power, the BLE-Pro can cut mild steel up to 25 mm, stainless steel up to 20 mm, and aluminium up to 20 mm.

The BLS series, on the other hand, can handle even thicker materials. With a 6kW laser power, the BLS can cut mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminium up to 25 mm. When configured with a 20kW laser power, the BLS can cut mild steel and stainless steel up to 40 mm and aluminium up to 35 mm, making it suitable for applications that require cutting thicker materials.

How does a laser cutter compare to plasma?

Laser and plasma cutting are thermal cutting processes used to cut various materials but differ in their cutting mechanisms, capabilities, and applications.

A laser cutter uses a focused, high-intensity laser beam to melt and vaporise material along the cut line, while plasma cutting uses a high-temperature, electrically conductive gas (plasma) to melt and blow away material along the cut line.

Laser machinery is suitable for cutting a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, wood, and composites. Depending on the laser power, it can handle thicknesses up to 40 mm or more. It produces high-quality, precise cuts with narrow kerf widths and minimal heat-affected zones (HAZ).

Laser machines offer high cutting speeds, particularly for thinner materials, and have lower operating costs due to their energy efficiency and minimal consumables. Plasma-cutting machines have lower initial costs but higher operating costs due to the consumption of gases and worn parts.

Are CNC laser cutters afe?

CNC laser cutters, like the Baykal BLE-Pro and BLS-Pro series, incorporate various safety features to ensure operator safety and protect the equipment.

These machines have light guard protection systems that detect when an operator or object enters the cutting area and automatically shut down the laser to prevent accidents. Protective viewing windows provide a physical barrier to shield operators from potential hazards, such as laser radiation or flying debris.

The BLE and BLS series of laser cutters feature magnetic locking systems that secure the laser cutting area during operation, preventing unauthorized access. Both series offer fume extraction systems to maintain a clean and safe working environment while ensuring HSE compliance.

The BLE-Pro and BLS-Pro series also includes automatic nozzle cleaning, and calibration features that minimise manual intervention and reduce the risk of operator injury during maintenance. As with all machinery, proper training for machine operators and appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) are essential for ensuring a safe working environment when using CNC laser cutters.
