Fume extraction and filtration are an integral part of the thermal cutting process—in fiber laser cutting machines, CNC plasma cutting machines, and oxy-fuel cutting machines. During machining, fumes, fine metal particles, oxides, and dust are generated, which must be captured...

Materials and optical components have a direct impact on the stability of laser cutting, edge quality, and machine availability. Even a properly selected fiber laser cutter will not operate consistently if the nozzle is damaged, the protective glass is dirty,...

A burr, a rough edge, an uneven edge, melt-through, jagged edges, or excessive bevel after cutting are indicators that help assess whether the metal-cutting process is proceeding correctly. They do not always indicate a serious problem, but it is always...

For years, cutting heavy plate was mainly associated with plasma and gas, while fiber lasers were considered a technology for thin and medium-thickness sheets. Today, this distinction is no longer so clear-cut—modern high-power fiber laser cutters, with configurations of up...

Plasma cutting is a thermal metal-cutting technology in which the material is locally melted by a concentrated plasma jet and then removed from the cut by a dynamic gas flow. It is a fast, efficient, and well-established industrial method for...
