Global industrial laser market trend analysis: fiber laser into the main
REVIEW: Estimated global industrial laser market will grow from $ 4.6 billion in 2015, up to $ 6.3 billion in 2021, the annual compound growth rate of over 6.6%.
OFweek Laser News: According to BCC Research data show that the global market for industrial lasers is expected in 2015 from 4.6 billion US dollars, up to $ 6.3 billion in 2021, the annual compound growth rate of over 6.6%. When this growth trend, mainly due to the strong performance of the fiber laser, product quality requirements for suppliers to grow based on productivity concerns and industrial users.
The next few years, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to become the largest market for industrial laser applications, including China, Japan and South Korea will be a key factor driving market growth, mainly due to automation and the development of new industries.
In the weak global economic environment, industrial lasers will continue to exhibit growth, mainly due to the continuous development of technology opportunities. Emerging fields such as disk lasers and fiber lasers will bring a strong growth momentum. Wherein the fiber laser performance significantly, in 2020 is expected to reach $ 1.9 billion market size, the annual compound growth rate of 8.5%, exceeding the overall industry growth rate of the laser.
Peak power and nanosecond pulse, very suitable for marking and engraving applications. Coupled with small size, high reliability and low cost of ownership, so that the terminal industrial users more popular
fiber lasers.
REVIEW: As a user, you seem to understand the respective fiber lasers and CO2 lasers bane. The so-called Achilles heel is the cutting of the blind spot. Avoid the Achilles heel (blind), and then compete competing short length, suitable for the needs of that one selected.
Laser News: frequently asked: for industrial processing, fiber lasers and CO2 laser which is better? More specifically, it is: two lasers in the end what the strengths and weaknesses? Fiber laser CO2 laser can replace it?
This seemingly simple problem, make it clear that is not necessarily easy.
We tried from many, many angles to provide users with comprehensive information and impartial advice from in order to receive the effect of clearing up doubts.
Laser (hereinafter referred to as fiber laser) fiber laser of wavelength 1.06 m is produced, CO2 laser produces laser light (hereinafter abbreviated as CO2 laser) wavelength of 10.6 m, are infrared light can be absorbed by the material, and applied industrial materials processing.
Two kinds of laser length the pros and cons
As a user, you seem to understand the respective fiber lasers and CO2 lasers bane. The so-called Achilles heel is the cutting of the blind spot. Avoid the Achilles heel (blind), and then compete competing short length, suitable for the needs of that one selected,
Fiber laser
Non-metallic fiber laser can not cut, including wood, plastic, leather, cotton and linen fabrics. If the workpiece material to be machined is exactly what non-metallic, the fiber laser can only lose, instead of none other than CO2 lasers.
Automotive interior parts are mostly non-metallic materials, high-precision robot + CO2 laser machining system, cutting its space surface, this laser beam machining system need to be addressed in the joint between the robot transmission problems.
Fiber laser can not cut with the coated surface of the material, such as ordinary stainless steel coated with anticorrosive coatings of special steel. There is not enough attention to this user, and the choice of fiber lasers had to be issued ordinary coating stainless steel cutting. If you want to use a dedicated fiber laser film, the cost is increased.

CO2 lasers
CO2 laser can not cut copper, including brass, copper. If you need to cut copper, fiber laser grid only enough.
For CO2 laser, a copper and a high reflective material, almost all the laser light is reflected without being absorbed; light reflected back into the laser, causing harm.
CO2 laser reflectivity of aluminum is higher. Install isolator back reflector, which can effectively protect the CO2 laser, which can be safely cut aluminum.
And from our cost cutting speed, piercing efficiency, quality and other aspects of cross-section, the bringing of two competing lasers to fight short length.
The cost
Here, in order to facilitate the comparison of the two lasers cost difference is calculated only the cost of electricity, supplies, medium gas composed of three parts, the cost of this three-part, they are different; manpower, depreciation, space, cutting gas for two kinds of lasers, the same cost, it does not count.
Two kinds of lasers are required to spend a huge amount of electricity. Power fiber laser – optical conversion efficiency of about 30%, CO2 laser is about 10%. In terms of 3000W laser, fiber laser power of about 10kW of electricity, and CO2 laser power of about 30kW. In price 1 yuan / kWh, accounting for 70% load meter, the costs were 7 yuan / hour, 21 yuan / hour.
Further, due to different efficiency, therefore, the heat generated by the laser two kinds of different specifications (cooling capacity) of water chillers require different. Power fiber lasers require water-cooled machine is 13kW, CO2 laser power required for water-cooled machine is 18kW. In price 1 yuan / kWh, accounting for 70% load meter, the cost was 9 yuan / hour, 12.8 yuan / hour.
In everyday use, the use of fiber laser cutting machine (hereinafter referred to as the fiber cutting machine) cost the materials: focusing mirror, ceramic bodies, nozzles, protective glass, etc., costs about 3 yuan / hour.
In addition, according to statistics four years, and beam expander laser module has its own life, resulting in about 4 yuan / hour, respectively, and 1 yuan / hour costs (special instructions, the smallest unit of ROFIN fiber laser is a semiconductor module to be replaced , cost about 1 yuan / hour).
Using CO2 laser cutting machine (hereinafter referred to as the CO2 cutting machine) cost the materials: focusing mirror, ceramic bodies, nozzles, mirrors, etc., cost about 2.5 yuan / hour.
Fiber laser medium without gas; CO2 gas lasers need to use the media to produce laser light, cost about 1 yuan / hour.
In addition, CO2 laser every 3,000 hours of routine inspection every 6000 hours for in-depth inspection, about 2 yuan / hour costs are incurred.
