In the heavy industry sector, selecting the right high-power fiber laser cutting machine is key to improving efficiency. QLTEK focuses on providing you with 20kW-30kW+ ultra-high power cutting solutions to address thick plate processing pain points.
1,Match Power with Thickness
Medium & Thick Plates (12-25mm): It is recommended to choose a 20kW-level laser cutting machine, such as QLTEK's GY12025 (20kW) or HG12025 (20kW) systems. At this power range, you can achieve the best balance of efficiency and section quality when cutting carbon steel and stainless steel.
Ultra-Thick Plates (30mm+): For industries like large-scale bridges and heavy steel structures, upgrading to ultra-high-power models of 30000W (30kW) and above is highly advised. It can easily pierce and swiftly cut carbon steel over 50mm, significantly shortening production cycles.
2,Format Size & Load Capacity
Thick metal plates are usually huge and extremely heavy. Therefore, it is essential to choose equipment with a large format or ultra-large format (such as QLTEK's Large Format H Series or Ultra-large Format HG/H-Pro Series).
Meanwhile, the machine bed structure must undergo rigorous high-strength welding and heat treatment to ensure no physical deformation under the long-term load of tons of plates, maintaining high dynamic cutting precision.
3,Intelligent Control & Safety Protection
High-Power Protection: Laser radiation and metal dust above 30kW are immense. It is strongly recommended to choose a fully enclosed structure like the GY Series or HE/HF Series, which effectively protects operators and meets international environmental standards (e.g., CE, FDA).
Intelligent Piercing & Cutting Process: The difficulty in thick plate cutting lies in piercing. High-quality equipment should be equipped with an intelligent control system that supports frequency-conversion piercing, non-inductive piercing, and real-time focus adjustment, thereby avoiding burst holes and reducing section slag.
4,Conclusion & Customized Advice
Choosing a high-power fiber laser cutting machine is not just about buying a piece of equipment; it is about introducing a highly efficient production solution to your factory. Ranging from 10,000W to 80,000W, QLTEK Laser is dedicated to providing the most stable, cost-effective, and intelligent laser equipment for global metal processing customers. [1]
