Fiber Lasers for Cutting Aluminum

Aluminum is widely used in metal fabrication but not exclusively cut by lasers. Aluminum is extremely reflective to conventional CO2 laser technology. Fiber lasers are the answer. Fiber lasers have a shorter wavelength and greater power density. This enables fiber lasers to cut up to 1” aluminum and penetrate a market in which plasma and water jet ruled.
