In the field of sheet metal processing, fiber laser cutting machines are taking the lead and becoming the mainstream.
When your Bystronic or Trumpf CO2 laser cutting machine is getting old, should you buy used fiber laser cutting equipment if you are not on a budget?
Before deciding, you should pay attention to the following points:
1. The life of the fiber laser source is decreasing, the laser power is reduced, and the cutting efficiency is reduced for used laser cutter.
The laser source is very expensive as one of the core components of the laser cutting machine. The laser source of a laser cutting machine that is used for a long time will slowly decay. If the laser cutting machine is used for a long time, the laser power may be weakened. The laser power decreases, the cutting thickness decreases, and the cutting speed decreases accordingly. The cost of replacing the laser source and the laser head is very high.
2. After-sales service is also a big problem, and the original factory cannot be contacted in case of product failure.
The warranty period of most second-hand laser cutting machines has expired. If there is a problem beyond the warranty period, the buyer generally cannot contact the original factory directly. The laser cutting machine manufacturers do not know that the equipment they sell has been transferred, and there is no way to provide accurate information for after-sales service judgment and maintenance. If you want to replace the parts, then the maintenance cost is very high, which is very unfavorable to the buyer.
Except points above, I know there will be still a certain hesitation in you thinking.
Now we can provide a better, less risky solution: retrofit your old CO2 laser cutting machine with fiber laser.
1. Replace CO2 laser to a new fiber laser source
- High electro-optical conversion rate, lower electricity cost
- Lifespan up to 100,000 hours, maintenance-free
- The cutting effect of non-ferrous metals is good, such as stainless steel, aluminum, copper and other materials
- High integration and small size
2. Replace CO2 laser cutting head to a new fiber laser cutting head
- Auto-focusing and reduce human intervention, high repeat accuracy
- high speed piercing and cutting
- high efficiency cooling to protect nozzle and ceramic
3. Same drive system
- Same machine tool structure
- Same high dynamic performance
- Same operation method and CNC system
4. Warranty
- Provide at least one year warranty for fiber laser source, chiller and cutting head, etc.
- Also there will be 24h professional technical support.
Newlaz has help one of the customers revive a Bystronic CO2 laser cutting machine which was bought in 1990s. It works well after retrofitting to fiber laser.
