WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE PURCHASING A FIBRE LASER...
When you search for a Fibre Laser Cutting Table, it is important that you look for these listed features to assure you will have a machine that performs well into the future, avoiding major issues:
Base frame of a 5' x 10' table should be at least 4 tons!
The acceleration and deceleration of the cutting head requires the frame to be very stable. If it is a light steel frame, flexing will take place over time and decrease the accuracy. The frame should be heavy steel construction, heat treated, stress relieved and then machined for accuracy and stability. Cast frames are not as rigid as heavy welded construction and can cause the table to become unstable over time. This is true more than just laser tables. "Welded steel bodies of machines are more rigid than cast iron bodies" - Podstawy Konstrukcji Maszyn (Fundamentals of Machine Design) Volume 2, Collective Work, Wydawnictwa Naukowo - Techniczne (Scientific and Technical Publishing), 1999.
Gantry material should be light weight but very stable!
Many plasma table manufacturers employ aluminum in the manufacturing of their CNC plasma tables. This is not acceptable for the structural manufacturing of Fibre Laser Tables. Gantry should be a light-weight steel-cross beam so speed and acceleration/deceleration can be maximized. Manganese steel is light weight like aluminum but has greater stability when the cutting head momentum changes at high speed. This is a must for the base frame of the machine! It is very important to consider these items when looking for a long-term use Fibre Laser! Some companies have Fibre Laser products aimed at the HVAC industry that use a steel tube frame as its base, with weight less than 2 tons for a 5' x 10' table. Consumers should be aware that even though this may be acceptable when first put into service, it will lose stability over a short period of time! ...
