How Much Does The Laser Cutting Machine Cost?

 How much is the laser cutting machine? The cost of laser cutting machines varies greatly. Therefore, it is important to find the right balance between your requirements and costs.

How much does the CNC laser machine cost?

Laser cutting equipment is mainly divided into fiber laser cutting machines, and CO2 laser cutting machines. Although they are all laser cutting equipment, their prices are different, and even the prices of similar products are different. So what are the factors that affect the cost of laser cutting machines?

Laser machine cost

First of all, to determine the right laser cutting machine, we need to determine your needs.

The low end of the charging range is suitable for DIY enthusiasts looking for non-metal or soft metal laser cutting and laser engraving or marking options. Although the range of materials may be quite wide, these machines are not suitable for cutting metal.

If you are looking for a laser cutting machine suitable for industrial-scale metal cutting, you need a high-end laser cutting machine.

So basically the most important question is what materials can the laser cutting machine cut?

Another important aspect is the size of the material to be cut. There are different sizes of laser cutting machines. It can be used from regular printer size to 3000 x 12000 mm workbench. Likewise, smaller means cheaper.

Laser cutting machine accessories

Different components used in the same laser cutting machine, such as lasers, motors, laser lenses, laser tubes, control systems, etc., will affect the price of the laser cutting machine.

The laser lens is related to the power of the laser cutting machine, the price is very different, and the effect and service life are also very different.

The laser tube is the heart of the laser cutting machine. The brand and quality of the laser tube are different, and the price is also different. The service life of a good laser tube is generally about 3000 hours.

Different modes

The price of different models (different power, different cutting formats) in the same factory will be different. Users need to choose the most suitable power supply and format according to their needs to maximize the use of cutting and bring higher benefits to customers.

After-sales service

After purchasing large-scale laser equipment, after-sales service is a very critical issue. Perfect service can ensure the safety and timely maintenance of user equipment. The laser tube and reflector of the laser cutting machine are indispensable consumables. It needs to be replaced after the service life expires. This requires manufacturers to provide strong after-sales service guarantees and provide these consumables in time. Different manufacturers have their own advantages and disadvantages in after-sales service, so the price will be different.

The price difference between CO2 and fiber lasers

You may be wondering the cost difference between CO2 lasers and fiber lasers... Laser cutting with fiber lasers is more energy-efficient and more accurate, but it is more economical for the luxury goods industry.

Compared with more traditional CO2 laser machines, fiber laser machines have higher cutting accuracy and longer service life. On the other hand, fiber lasers tend to be more expensive than traditional lasers. The cost of a fiber laser is usually between US$20,000 and US$45,000.

To sum up

We hope this article can help you, no matter how much you spend on a laser engraving machine or fiber laser system, you should focus on the benefits and benefits of your investment. In addition, the intangible maintenance cost and the added value of the machine (such as a longer service life) are closely related to the quality and efficiency of the machine.
