However, the fiber laser is being used more and more frequently in laser cutting technology and is competing with the CO2 laser. Thanks to the most modern and sophisticated technologies, they are at least on par with established lasers in terms of precision with different material thicknesses. However, it is mainly used for micro-drilling and welding.Ĭompared to CO2 lasers (carbon dioxide lasers), fiber lasers have significantly lower operating and maintenance costs. The Nd:YAG laser, which like the fiber laser belongs to the group of solid-state lasers, is also becoming increasingly important in laser cutting. This special form of solid-state laser is particularly convincing due to its high efficiency compared to the well-known cutting system. For some years now, however, the gas laser has been increasingly competing with the fiber laser. The CO2 laser is the more established cutting technology and has been used successfully for many decades. The most frequently used are the CO2 laser (a gas laser) or the fiber laser (solid-state laser). There are different versions of focused high-power lasers that are used in laser beam cutting.
