What is CO2 laser cutting?
The CO2 laser cutter is a particular type of gas laser that uses carbon dioxide as the effective laser medium. Due to their high power output capabilities and great efficiency, they have become the most popular kind of laser cutter.
The power output of CO2 laser cutters may reach up to 15 kW, and their efficiency can reach up to 30 percent, which refers to the highest of all types of gas laser cutters. They are an excellent choice for cutting delicate features and sharp angles, in particular in sheet metals or metals having thicknesses of less than 10 millimeters. CO2 laser cutters with more cutting power are also capable of producing high cut accuracy on thicker metal substrates.
