CO2 and Fiber Laser Combo Cutting Machine with Dual Source

How Does a Fiber CO2 Laser Cutting Machine Works?

Please watch the working demo here, you will understand how its dual sources work and what projects they can do.

What is the Advantage of a CO2 Fiber Laser Combo?

What benefits can we get by integrating dual laser sources into one machine?

• Space. If your workshop has some space constraints, you can maximize your space with equipment that can now work with any laser: fiber and co2.

• The widest variety of suitable materials. Dual-source fiber laser and CO2 laser cutting machines can cut metal materials and non-metal materials. The required source can be easily activated by manipulating the control system. All potential CO2 laser applications, as well as metal cutting, can be realized immediately.

Applications of Fiber & CO2 Combination Laser Cutting Machine

Applicable Field

The co2 fiber laser cutting machine is suitable for metal and nonmetal cutting works.

Materials

Perfect for metal sheets like steel, stainless steel, brass, aluminum, titanium, galvanized sheets; and nonmetal materials including plastic, wood, acrylic, rubber, leather, and more.

Features of Laser Cutter for Metal and Plastic with 4 x 8 table

• The dual-source laser cutting machine allows you to integrate CO2 and fiber laser sources into one laser system. For dual configuration, we provide 500W/1000W1500W fiber laser and match 150W CO2 laser source. Choose the combination that best suits your application. The CO2 laser source is installed behind the beam, while the fiber laser is placed at the rear part of the machine base.

• ET-FC1325 can use a fiber laser to cut stainless steel up to 5 mm or use a CO2 laser to cut 3/4" plywood, so no quality is sacrificed to achieve a compact design.

• RD Works is an ideal laser system suitable for users who need fiber laser (metal) and CO2 laser (non-metal) system functions. It is in English.

• Dual laser cutting head can be active alternatively through the system – RD works. The fiber laser cutting head is Raytools model: BT220.

• The Co2 laser source (Yongli Model: A6s) reaches the laser cutting head through several mirrors installed on the right side of the beam.

• The X/YZ axes are driven by Panasonic AC servo system. Fast, accurate, and quiet operation. And the motor on Z-axis has a holding brake.

• All three motion axes have a dust-proof design to prevent dust and slag from falling on precision parts such as screw rods and guide rails to ensure the machine's stability and durability and effectively extend the lifespan of the device.

FAQs about the 48x96 CO2 and Fiber Laser Combo Cutter

Q: What Software Does This Cnc Laser Combo Use And What Other Parts Are Needed To Make This Work, Please?

A: The used software is Cypcut. 

This machine, specially, the fiber laser system requires auxiliary gas to operate. It could be compressed air, oxygen, or nitrogen. If you decide to go with compressed air, just make sure to have an air compressor ready for the machine. If you don't have one yet, we can supply one along with the laser machine.

Q: Can You Make The Machine Black In Color?

A: Yes, we can customize the color as per your request. Just a heads up: selecting custom colors might take a little longer for delivery.

Q: Can The CO2 Laser Run With Compressed Air, Or Does It Need Tanks Of Something?

A: The CO2 laser source is a sealed tube; it doesn't need to run with compressed air or tanks of something.

Q: Can I Also Get Speeds For Laser Cut Materials?

A: Yes, the laser processing parameters will be provided along with the machine upon delivery. This is not a single-speed parameter; rather, it is a set of parameters that cover cutting speed, the selected assist gas source, material type, thickness, output power settings, and so on.

Q: And How Reliable Is It All?

A: Since its initial launch in 2019, this product has experienced ongoing optimization and enhancements driven by user feedback. It has now matured into a model distinguished by its exceptional stability, as evidenced by market validation.

Q: And How Reliable Is This Machine With Both Heads Running On It?

A: The two cutting heads operate independently of each other. You can use the fiber laser for cutting metal and switch to the CO2 laser when you need to cut non-metallic materials. This mechanism works reliably. Just a friendly reminder: the two cutting heads can't operate simultaneously, so be sure to choose the one you need for your project!

Q: Can Used Compress Air To Cut Metal Too?

A: Compressed air is indeed suitable for cutting thin metal sheets. 

Q: Do You Have CCD Camera You Can Add To This?

A: Adding a CCD is definitely doable! Just keep in mind that it will change the machine configuration, which might bring in some new challenges to manage stability.

Q: Is It Much More To Upgrade To Slightly Higher Power Machine?

A: The next option for fiber laser power is 3,000 W; upgrading to 3 kW would increase the price by USD 3,100 about.

Q: What Peripheral Equipment Is Needed Outside Of The Enclosure (Besides The Chiller)?

A: Besides the chiller, the CO2 laser doesn't need any other peripheral equipment. This is not always the case though, if you are using it to cut wood you may need compressed air.

Q: Is The Fiber Head Following Material Thicknes, Goes Up And Down?

A: Yes, it is. The fiber laser cutting head follows the material thickness to go up and down.

Q: With Fiber Laser, Can You Run More Than One Pass Or Only One Pass?

A: You can run only one pass with a fiber laser.

Q: We Can Turn The Fiber Laser Power Down For Different Thicknesses, Right?

A: Yes, that's right.

Q: What Max Acrylic Can The CO2 Laser Head Cut?

A: With a 150-watt CO2 laser, you can cut 35mm acrylic at most.

Q: We Can Always Tune Down The CO2 Laser Power, Correct?

A: Yes, that is correct.

Q: Are Any Special Requirements Needed To Operate The Lazer Cutter / Engraver for Material up to 12mm Metal and Plastic?

A: It is better to have basic knowledge of CNC machines and be familiar with CAD drawing skills.

Q: How Can You Get this Machine Shipped to Us?

A: We can get the fiber co2 laser cutting machines shipped all the world by sea. You just need to tell us your port of entry, and we can quote the ocean freight for your reference.

Q: What Warranty is the Fiber Laser CO2 Combination Cutting Machine Covered?

A: The machine is covered with a 12 months warranty since the departure date except for the fiber laser source. The fiber laser source is coming with a 2-year warranty. During the guarantee, you will enjoy free replacement for any broken components, including the laser sources.
