IPG FIBER Laser sources

IPG FIBER laser sources form the stable core of the cutting system: delivering consistent output power, fast ignition and uniform beam characteristics that result in clean edges, predictable piercing and constant kerf geometry along the entire length of the part. High conversion efficiency and advanced parameter monitoring systems reduce power drift during long cycles, keeping the process stable both in short series and multi-shift production. In practice, this means fewer corrections, lower reject rates and predictable part costs.

The choice of IPG source power should be based on typical materials, thicknesses, cutting speeds and the desired technological margin. Higher power allows greater flexibility in setting parameters (especially for thicker sheets), provided the cutting head, nozzles and assist gas are correctly matched. Electrical and communication compatibility with the machine control system is also critical; proper integration with the CNC and cooling systems directly translates into process safety and overall reliability.

Maintaining performance over time requires stable cooling, clean media and proper workstation organisation. Keep the coolant at a constant temperature and ensure adequate flow, maintain efficient fume extraction and high-quality compressed air or process gases. Regularly replace protective lenses, check nozzle and seal conditions, and save proven material settings — this speeds up new job preparation and helps reproduce consistent quality. A well-maintained system fully utilises the potential of IPG FIBER laser sources: high efficiency, consistent power and long service life, which in turn reduce downtime and ensure stable production quality.
