How thick can a 1500 watt fiber laser cut?
A 1500W fiber laser can cut carbon steel up to approximately 1/4" (6mm), stainless steel up to 3/16" (5mm), and aluminum up to 1/8" (3mm). It is best suited for thin-gauge sheet metal work. For thicker plate or higher-volume production cutting, stepping up to a 3kW or 6kW system like the H Series provides significantly greater capacity and throughput.
How thick can a 3kW fiber laser cut?
A 3kW fiber laser can typically cut carbon steel up to 3/4" (20mm), stainless steel up to 1/2" (12mm), and aluminum up to 3/8" (10mm). Cutting capacity also depends on cut quality requirements, assist gas type, and feed rate settings. For brass and copper, a 3kW source handles sheet gauges up to approximately 4–6mm effectively.
What materials can the H Series 3kW fiber laser cut?
The H Series cuts carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, and other electrically conductive metals. It is designed for flat sheet metal fabrication across a wide range of thicknesses and gauges, making it suitable for diverse industrial manufacturing and job shop applications.
What table sizes are available for the H Series fiber laser?
The H Series is available in three table configurations: 5x10 (standard mill sheet format), 6-1/2x13 (wide-format for broader material), and 5x20 (long-format for extended sheet runs). Each size is designed to accommodate specific production formats and shop floor requirements without sacrificing cutting precision.
What warranty and support are included with the H Series fiber laser?
Every H Series purchase includes a 1-year manufacturer warranty, with extended 1-year and 2-year warranty options also available. On-site machine start-up, alignment verification, and operator training are included. Additionally, Cutting Edge Plasma provides lifetime technical support and access to their Owners Group community for ongoing assistance.
What industries is the H Series 3kW fiber laser suitable for?
The H Series 3kW fiber laser is well-suited for a wide range of industries, including metal fabrication and job shops, automotive and off-road manufacturing, HVAC and sheet metal contracting, and architectural and signage fabrication. It handles precision cutting of sheet metal parts such as brackets, ductwork, decorative panels, and structural components.
How does fiber laser cutting compare to plasma cutting for sheet metal?
Fiber laser cutting delivers significantly tighter tolerances, finer kerf widths, and cleaner edge quality compared to plasma cutting, especially on thin-gauge materials. It is the preferred choice when part accuracy, detail complexity, or edge finish is critical. Plasma cutting remains cost-effective for thicker plate at higher speeds, but fiber laser excels in precision sheet metal fabrication.
