Over the past few years, laser machine manufacturers increasingly opt for fibre laser sources instead of CO2, thus reducing the user&#;s operating costs: no laser gas, low maintenance costs, etc.
All the main laser machine manufacturers agree that fibre sources are effective and useful. It is no longer a point of discussion!
Fibre laser cutting is well developed, both in terms of the quality of the cut parts and productivity. Metal-Interface spoke with the main manufacturers about the aspects to prioritise when choosing a laser cutting table.
Christophe Berquet &#; Prima-Power believes that "the overall control of the machine, software and cutting parameters are essential criteria to take into account when choosing a manufacturer.&#;
Pour Loïc Vicaud &#; Trumpf: "Laser cutting machines today should aim to work autonomously, with the least possible operator handling.&#;
Franck Ferrari &#; Amada insists on "the importance of measuring the cost per part and/or the machine operating costs to make the optimal choice.&#;
Hugues Cousseau &#; Bystronic agrees, explaining that "when deciding on a 2D laser machine&#;s size, power and automation, it is essential to have a good understanding of the output, volumes and production times expected of the new equipment.&#;

There are therefore 4 aspects to take into account: specifications, machine productivity, flexibility and estimated operating costs.
Aspects linked to automation will be discussed in a separate article.
