What is the appropriate power for laser cutting machine to cut thickness?

Time:2025-05-14

Laser cutting machine can cut metal sheets, carbon steel plates, stainless steel plates, copper plates, aluminum alloy plates, galvanized plates, alloy steel, silver, copper, titanium and other metal materials. The power of the metal laser cutting machine is generally closely related to the material and thickness of the cutting.

1. The maximum cutting thickness of different materials by 2000W laser cutting machine: carbon steel maximum thickness 16mm; stainless steel maximum thickness 6mm; aluminum plate maximum thickness 4mm; copper plate maximum thickness 4mm;

2. The maximum cutting thickness of different materials by 3000W fiber laser cutting machine: carbon steel maximum thickness 22mm; stainless steel maximum thickness 12mm; aluminum plate maximum thickness 8mm; copper plate maximum thickness 8mm;

3. The maximum cutting thickness of different materials by 4000W fiber laser cutting machine: carbon steel maximum thickness 25mm; stainless steel maximum thickness 12mm; aluminum plate maximum thickness 10mm; copper plate maximum thickness 10mm;

4. The maximum cutting thickness of different materials by 6000W fiber laser cutting machine: carbon steel maximum thickness 25mm; stainless steel maximum thickness 20mm; aluminum plate maximum thickness 16mm; copper plate maximum thickness 12mm.

5. The maximum cutting thickness of stainless steel by 12000W laser is 40mm, but the quality of the cutting surface above 25mm is not guaranteed, and the cutting surface below 25mm is definitely bright surface cutting. 15000W cutting power will be better, but the price is also higher.

According to the above tips, you can determine the type and thickness of the material you are cutting, and roughly determine the power of the equipment you need.
