With the rapid development of manufacturing technology, the fiber laser cutting machine has become an essential tool in modern industrial production. Compared with traditional cutting methods such as plasma cutting, flame cutting, and CO₂ laser cutting, a fiber laser cutting machine offers higher precision, faster cutting speed, lower operating cost, and excellent cutting edge quality.
As a result, the sheet metal cutting machine based on fiber laser technology is widely used across multiple industries. Below are the main application industries, reasons why fiber laser cutting machines are needed, and recommended laser power ranges.
The ship-building industry requires the processing of thick steel plates, stainless steel, and high-strength structural materials. Traditional flame or plasma cutting often results in large heat-affected zones, low accuracy, and heavy post-processing work.
A high-power fiber laser cutting machine provides:
High precision for complex ship components
Smooth cutting edges with minimal slag
Reduced deformation on large steel plates
Lower material waste and labor cost
For ship-building applications, a sheet metal cutting machine with 6kW–20kW fiber laser power is commonly used, depending on plate thickness. High-power fiber laser cutting machines significantly improve productivity and welding quality in hull structure manufacturing.
Recommended power: 6kW–20kW
So our Spark H single table open type sheet metal cutting machine is a suitable model for the ship-building industry
The furniture industry, especially metal furniture, stainless steel furniture, and decorative furniture, demands fine cutting quality and flexible design capability. Traditional mechanical cutting tools cannot meet the growing demand for customized and artistic designs.
A stainless steel laser cutter enables:
High-precision cutting of stainless steel, carbon steel, and aluminum
Clean edges without secondary polishing
Easy cutting of decorative patterns and complex shapes
High efficiency for mass production
For furniture manufacturing, low to medium power fiber laser cutting machines are sufficient, as most materials are thin sheets.
Mostly, tube laser cutting machine for the stainless steel have a big wide application, sometimes for some kind of stainless steel, just need to cut and do some small holes are enough. for this laser cutting machine application, our Apollo AK tube cutting machine is sufficient to handle
Recommended power: 1kW–3kW for the sheet cutting, normally our SPARK E sheet metal fiber laser cutting machine are sufficient to cut
The sheet metal processing industry is the core application field of the fiber laser cutting machine. It includes electrical cabinets, enclosures, chassis, elevators, HVAC components, and industrial parts.
Compared with traditional sheet metal cutting machines, fiber laser cutting offers:
Ultra-high cutting speed for thin metal sheets
High positioning accuracy and repeatability
Lower electricity consumption and maintenance cost
Flexible processing for different materials and thicknesses
Fiber laser cutting machines can easily process carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and galvanized sheets, making them the ideal sheet metal cutting machine solution.
Recommended power: 3kW–12kW
So our Spark N open type single table laser cutter is the best option for this kind of industry
In the agriculture industry, metal components such as machinery parts, brackets, frames, blades, and structural supports require durable and precise cutting. Many agricultural parts are produced in medium batches with varying designs.
Using a fiber laser cutting machine helps:
Improve production efficiency of agricultural machinery parts
Ensure consistent cutting accuracy
Reduce tooling costs and setup time
Cut carbon steel and alloy steel with high reliability
Fiber laser cutting machines provide flexible and cost-effective solutions for modern agricultural equipment manufacturing.
Recommended power: 3kW–6kW
So our Spark N open type single table fiber laser cutting machine is the best option for this kind of industry
The advertisement industry relies heavily on stainless steel letters, aluminum signs, logos, light boxes, and decorative panels. Visual appearance and cutting precision are extremely important.
A fiber laser cutting machine is ideal for advertising applications because it offers:
High-precision cutting for fine details and sharp edges
Smooth surfaces suitable for direct painting or polishing
Easy processing of thin metal sheets
Fast response for customized and small-batch orders
For advertising and signage production, a compact fiber laser cutting machine with lower power is both economical and efficient.
Recommended power: 1kW–3kW
So our SPARK E Economic type laser cutting machine is the best optional for the advertisement industry
Across industries such as ship-building, furniture manufacturing, sheet metal processing, agriculture, and advertising, the fiber laser cutting machine has become the most advanced and reliable sheet metal cutting machine solution. By choosing the appropriate laser power and machine configuration, manufacturers can greatly improve production efficiency, reduce operating costs, and enhance product quality.
As fiber laser technology continues to mature and laser source prices decrease, fiber laser cutting machines will remain the mainstream choice for metal cutting applications worldwide.
