Which laser cutting is better, CO2 or fiber?
If you’re still debating CO₂ vs. fiber for industrial laser cutting, you’re probably losing time and money right now. Fiber lasers are the better choice for metal cutting—faster, more precise, and far more efficient than CO₂. When I speak with customers, this question always comes up. At Kirin Laser, we manufacture both types, but I […]
What is Cutting-Edge Technology of the Laser Cut Metal Process?
Modern manufacturers demand speed, precision, and consistency. Yet, traditional metal cutting methods often fail under pressure — they create waste, slow production, and limit design freedom. The most cutting-edge technology in the metal cutting process today is fiber laser cutting — it combines precision, speed, and efficiency unmatched by traditional methods. With years of experience […]
What is the best way to cut and shape stainless steel?
When working with stainless steel, precision and quality matter. Many struggle with warped parts, rough edges, or excessive post-processing. The good news is, there’s a better way that solves these problems. The best way to cut and shape stainless steel is with a fiber laser cutting machine. Fiber lasers provide clean, precise cuts with minimal […]
How to use a fiber laser to cut an aluminum sheet?
Cutting aluminum sounds easy—until you’re stuck with burrs, dross, and poor-quality edges. But with the right laser, settings, and techniques, this tough metal becomes a precision-cut masterpiece. Yes, you can cut aluminum with a fiber laser—if you know how to control heat, reflection, and the right parameters. It’s not just about power; it’s about balance. […]
How to choose the power of a fiber laser cutting machine?
When your cutting line slows down or your materials come out rough and inconsistent, it’s not just a bad day—it’s a sign your laser machine isn’t strong enough. To choose the right fiber laser power, you need to match the laser wattage with the thickness and type of metal you cut most. Many buyers jump […]
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 […]
