A 20 watt fixed pulsewidth fiber laser will approaches 1mj of energy per pulse at a pulsefrequency of about 20 khz and 20 watts of output power.
Fiber laser cutting pcb. For the fab academy 2015 at opendot in milan we have a new laser cutting machine a trotec speedy 100 flexx the flexx line of laser cutters has both co 2 and fiber laser technologies. We re well known as one of the leading laser cutting machine laser marking machine laser welding machine laser cleaning machine laser tube cutting machine manufacturers and suppliers in china. Analysis of laser cutting materials fiber laser cutting effect structural steel. The fiber laser enables us to engrave the copper layer of the fr1 and once it has been removed we can cut the board with the co 2 laser.
They extend the benefits of laser cutting to a whole new range of materials. The 1 06 micron fiber laser is not used for cutting this material as the wavelength is not readily absorbed. Wuhan hglaser engineering co ltd. 60 watt co 2 laser 30 watt fiber laser.
Also when processing stainless aluminum brass or copper materials fiber lasers are the fastest and most economical regardless of material thickness. For plates with a thickness of up to 4mm nitrogen can be used as the gas for high pressure cutting. Laser etching pcb s was also of interest to me as i was hoping to get rid of the messy fecl3 etching but cutting that copper would require quite a bit more power i understand. Testing a fiber laser that is used for engraving anodized aluminum surfaces as a pcb prototyping tool.
Laser cutting a pcb with a co 2 fiber trotec laser cutter. Laser cutting a pcb with a co 2 fiber trotec laser cutter introduction. Works great if you get the settings right but usually the pcb epoxy laminate gets charred. Best type of laser for this appliation.
Welcome to buy high quality laser equipment for sale here from our factory. Because of this a 20 watt fixed pulsewidth fiber laser is not allowed to work at pulse frequencies lower than 20 khz. Back to tutorial index. The fiber laser enables us to engrave the copper layer of the fr1 and.
Laser processing fr 4 g10 is possible with a 9 3 or 10 6 micron co 2 laser with no significant difference between the quality produced by the two wavelengths. When oxygen is used as a processing gas the cutting edge is slightly oxidized. 2 marking graphics text on pre made pcbs. The material will get better results when it is cut with oxygen.
While epilog s co2 systems will cut through the pcb as long as there is no copper layer our fiber laser systems the fibermark 24 and fusion m2 fiber laser will cut through both with and without the copper layer.
