What is the power of a laser cutting machine?
When people talk about laser cutting, the first thing they ask is always about the "power." But what does that actually mean? And how much power do you really need? If you get this wrong, it costs you time, money, and missed deadlines. The power of a laser cutting machine refers to how much energy […]
What are the features of a glass laser engraving machine?
Glass is fragile. It scratches, chips, and cracks easily under pressure. That’s why traditional engraving methods often fail to deliver precision. And that’s exactly where laser engraving steps in—with accuracy, consistency, and zero contact. A glass laser engraving machine uses a precise laser beam to engrave designs on glass without physically touching it, delivering clean, […]
What should I do if the laser cutting is incomplete?
Laser cutting is supposed to be precise, clean, and consistent—but when your machine leaves materials half-cut or edges jagged, it’s more than frustrating. It threatens your productivity and client trust. If your laser cutting is incomplete, the most likely causes are low power, wrong focus, or dirty optics. You need to match machine power to […]
What is the smallest size hole a laser can cut?
Fiber laser cutting machines are known for their incredible precision—but how small is too small? Many buyers, especially in high-tech sectors, are chasing answers around micro-hole cutting. This article will break it down clearly. A fiber laser cutter can cut holes as small as 0.1 mm, but reaching that precision depends on material, thickness, and […]
How many inches per minute can a laser cutter cut?
When clients ask how fast our machines can cut, I know they’re not just chasing numbers—they’re chasing profit. Every extra inch per minute means higher output, faster turnaround, and less bottleneck. But how fast is fast enough? A high-power fiber laser can cut 1mm carbon steel at speeds exceeding 2,000 inches per minute, depending on […]
What is a CNC laser cutter?
CNC laser cutters are transforming metal processing. But what exactly are they, and why are manufacturers rapidly switching to them? A CNC laser cutter uses a computer-controlled laser beam to cut, engrave, or mark materials with high precision, especially metals like steel, aluminum, and copper. Many of our clients at Kirin Laser—especially those in high-volume […]
What is an open type fiber laser cutting machine?
If you’ve ever stood before a fiber laser cutter and cursed the delay caused by opening a safety door—you’re not alone. An open-type fiber laser cutting machine skips the enclosure, giving operators faster access, better visibility, and quicker changeovers, all while maintaining industrial-grade beam precision. Enclosed machines look sleek, but when you need speed and […]
What is the process to cut a thread on metal by laser?
If you’ve ever tried tapping metal threads manually, you know how slow, error-prone, and costly it can get—especially at scale. But what if the laser cutter could do most of the work for you? To cut threads in metal using a laser, we first use a fiber laser cutter to make a precise pilot hole, […]
Why do buyers prefer CO2 laser engravers?
Struggling to find a laser engraver that fits your business needs? You’re not alone. Many small businesses face this challenge every day. Buyers prefer CO2 laser engravers because of their versatility, cost-effectiveness, and ability to handle a wide range of materials with precision. Let’s explore the reasons behind the popularity of CO2 laser engravers and […]
Why is compressed air needed for a laser cutting machine?
Compressed air plays a crucial role in the operation of laser cutting machines. Without it, achieving the precision and quality we strive for at Kirin Laser would be challenging. Understanding its importance helps in optimizing the cutting process and ensuring the best results for our clients. Compressed air is essential for removing molten material and […]
What is the laser marking machine market?
Many people talk about lasers. Few understand the market behind them. When I started Kirin Laser, I saw a gap: buyers wanted precision, reliability, and scalability—but found confusion. So, what is the real size of this industry? The global laser marking machine market was worth around $3.3 billion in 2024, and it’s growing fast—about 8% […]
What materials can you cut with a laser?
When choosing the right machine for production, nothing matters more than knowing which materials it can cut. I’ve seen clients invest in the wrong system simply because they didn’t understand this basic, critical fact. Laser cutting machines can handle a wide range of materials—metals, plastics, wood, leather—but only if you choose the right type of […]
