Material Thickness Range Comparison Across Laser Powers
The chart above visually represents how different laser power levels perform across various materials and thicknesses. As power increases from 2kW to 20kW, both the maximum thickness capacity and cutting speed increase significantly, though the relationship is not perfectly linear. For optimal cost-efficiency, selecting the appropriate laser power for your typical material type and thickness range is crucial.
Key Insights from Material Performance Data:
- Reflective Materials: Higher powered lasers (8kW+) provide significantly better performance on reflective materials like copper, brass, and aluminum due to their ability to overcome reflection issues through sheer power density.
- Thick Material Processing: When cutting materials over 12mm (1/2″), the jump from 6kW to 12kW offers a substantial productivity increase, often reducing cut times by 50% or more.
- Thin Material Efficiency: For materials under 6mm (1/4″), the difference between a 4kW and higher-powered laser becomes less pronounced in terms of cut quality, though speed advantages remain significant.
- Edge Quality Considerations: As laser power increases, the potential for superior edge quality improves, particularly on thicker materials, resulting in less post-processing and secondary operations.
This comprehensive material performance data helps you identify the optimal laser power for your specific cutting applications, ensuring maximum productivity and quality while minimizing operating costs.
