A fiber laser marking machine can be used for light metal cutting, but its capabilities are limited compared to dedicated fiber laser cutting machines. Here is what you need to know:

Can a Fiber Laser Marking Machine Cut Light Metals?

  • Yes, but with limitations:

    • Works best on thin metals (typically <1mm, depending on laser power).

    • Suitable for soft metals like aluminum, brass, copper, and stainless steel (thin sheets).

    • Not ideal for thick or hard metals (requires higher power).

Key Factors for Light Metal Cutting

  1. Laser Power

    • 10W-30W: Can engrave and make shallow cuts (up to 0.5mm).

    • 50W-100W+: Better for cutting thin metals (up to 1-2mm).

  2. Material Type

    • Aluminum (0.5-1mm): Possible with higher power.

    • Stainless Steel (0.3-1mm): Doable but slower than dedicated cutters.

    • Copper/Brass: Reflective metals may require higher power.

  3. Speed & Precision

    • Slower than industrial laser cutters but offers high precision for small parts.

    • Multiple passes may be needed for clean cuts.

Applications

✔ Thin metal tags & labels
✔ Precision cutting of small components
✔ Prototyping & light industrial use

Limitations

❌ Not for thick metals (>2mm) – Requires fiber laser cutting machines (500W-6kW+).
❌ Slower than dedicated cutters for production work.

Best Alternative

If you need consistent metal cutting, consider a fiber laser cutting machine (higher power, air assist, and optimized optics).

    Fiber Laser Marking Machine Marking on Jewelry

    Fiber laser marking machines are widely used in the jewelry industry for engraving and marking precious metals (gold, silver, platinum), stainless steel, titanium, and other materials with high precision. Here’s a detailed guide on how fiber lasers are used for jewelry marking:

  • Fiber Laser Marking Machine Using in Non-Metal Marking

    Fiber Laser Marking Machine Using in Non-Metal Marking

    Fiber laser marking machines are primarily designed for marking metals and some plastics, but their effectiveness on non-metal materials is limited compared to other laser types like CO₂ or UV lasers. However, certain non-metal materials can still be marked with fiber lasers, depending on the composition and desired effect.

    This is not the smallest laser marking machine, because it can follow a 50-100 watt laser, so its size is the most reasonable in this power.
