In the past decade, fiber laser has completely changed the processing technology of industrial materials with its unique combination of performance, reliability and cost advantages. Optical fiber laser source has replaced many traditional metal cutting methods in existing applications, which makes possible new applications that cannot be solved by previous technologies. Optical fiber laser cutting machine can deal with reflective metal and has good effect.
What is reflective metal?
“Highly reflective metal” is a common word that almost all metal processing practitioners know. In order to understand what is reflective metal, it is necessary to know the composition of metal first. Take aluminum and silver for example. They have high reflectivity and can reflect 95% of visible light. Laser cutting and marking aluminum and silver products are widely used in windows, jewelry, sunglasses, decorative materials. Other reflective metals, such as gold, bronze, copper and brass, are also difficult to laser cut with fiber lasers. Stainless steel is also considered a reflective metal, especially when mirror polishing steel objects. All these reflective metals must be processed by the fiber laser cutter.

How to cut reflective metal?
Laser processing on reflective metals requires a special fiber laser source. Fiber laser is the most modern, fastest and cost-effective method for cutting thin reflective metal plates. Because these lasers do not use mirrors and precision lenses, the reflection of metals such as copper, aluminum and brass will not damage the cutting equipment. Therefore, fiber laser technology is the best way to cut reflective metal.
Advantages of fiber laser cutting machine:
The stainless steel, aluminum, brass and copper that can be stably processed and polished, and the optical fiber laser source are integrated with a proprietary back reflection isolator, which can protect all modules from the back reflection generated by the workpiece. The whole cutting process is safe and stable without damaging the laser source.
The normal operation time of the machine is increased and the cost is reduced.
Improved cutting performance: Our optical fiber laser metal cutting machine is specially designed for the precision metal parts manufacturing industry. They are widely welcomed by customers for their faster fine processing performance and better processing quality through the smallest heat affected zone.
