Tal vez nunca se sabe que la máquina láser de CO2 es capaz de metales de corte. Pero es cierto que la máquina láser de CO2 puede hacer, y si Fuente internet, se pueden encontrar algunos cortadores de metal con láser CO2.

Luego, puede que se pregunte, por eso cortadora láser CO2 no es tan popular como cortadora láser de fibra? To explain this, we shall start from the basic laser principles.

As you know, there are three possiblities when the laser light reachs the materials surface, the laser could be reflected, converted, or absorbed by the materials. If the laser was reflected, that means thr laser energy was wasted, it can’t process the mateirals and it may also damage the laser machines. If the laser was converted, that means the energy can work on the materials to perform cutting or other process. Laser absorbtion is the key to process mateirals, the more laser been absorbed by materials, the better efficiency the machine would have.

In comparasion with fiber laser, CO2 laser has different wavelength. For CO2 laser machines, metals are high reflection materials, almost all laser light could be reflected instead of been absorbed, that’s why CO2 laser is not suggested to cut metals, not only becasue it is slow, but also it would cost you more money if the material is not thin.
