What materials cannot be cut by fiber laser cutting machines?

Many people think that fiber laser cutting machines can be equipped with lasers of different powers, the cutting range should be very wide, and the effect should be much better than other cutting methods. In fact, cutting machines can also be divided into different types, which can cut different materials. What are the mainstream devices on the market?

As we all know, as the mainstream of cutting machines, fiber laser cutting machines have become the best choice for cutting different materials on the market with their advantages such as wide cutting range, fast cutting speed, good cutting effect, and maintenance-free. Fiber laser cutting machines are particularly suitable for cutting metal materials. Although fiber laser cutting machines have many excellent features, there are still many materials that cannot be cut. So what materials cannot be cut by fiber laser cutting machines?

First of all, we need to make it clear that fiber laser cutting machines belong to the category of metal cutting machines, so they can be used to process metal. But for non-metallic materials such as cloth and leather, fiber laser cutting machines are not a better choice.

Secondly, fiber laser cutting machines cannot cut medium-density fiberboards, which mainly include fiberboards, wood fibers, plant fibers, and some artificial boards made of urea-formaldehyde resin and adhesives. Because fiber laser cutting machines are thermal processing. It will cause burns and burn the cutting edge, thus failing to achieve perfect cutting requirements. Therefore, these types of materials cannot currently be processed using fiber laser cutting machines. There are also some highly reflective materials. Since these materials are not within the ideal absorption range of these materials for laser wavelengths, some energy will be reflected and burn out the protective lens. Therefore, these types of materials cannot currently be processed using fiber laser cutting machines.
