Fiber laser is a type of high-energy beam based on a fiber amplifier that uses glass fiber doped with rare earth ions as the gain medium. The pump light irradiates the rare-earth-doped glass fiber pump source, which induces the rare-earth ions to absorb photons, and the excited radiation has the same frequency as the incident photons. Under the action of pump light, it is easy to form high power density in the fiber, which results population inversion of the laser working substance. When a positive feedback loop (constituting a resonant cavity) is properly added, the laser oscillation output can be formed. These laser cutters have a wide range of applications, including material processing, communications, medical beauty, scientific research and military, instrumentation and sensors. It has been used for cutting, engraving, etching, marking, welding, surface treatment, cleaning, cladding, and some other applications.
The pump light entering the fiber has multiple modes, and different pump modes have different effects on different signal modes, making the analysis of laser generators and amplifiers more complicated. The doping profile in the fiber also has a great influence on the laser generator. In order to make the medium have gain features, the fiber is doped with working ions (i.e. impurities). The working ions are uniformly distributed, whereas the distribution of the pump light is non-uniform. Therefore, to improve the pumping efficiency, the ion distribution and the pumping energy distribution should be as close as possible.
Fiber laser generators are similar to traditional gas and solid laser generators, which are composed of pump sources, resonators, gain media. The pump light is coupled into the gain fiber through the optical system, and the gain fiber generates spontaneous emission after absorbing the pump light, and outputs stable beam.

A fiber laser cutter uses a generator with the CNC control system to dope the pump material into the optical fiber, and the laser of a specific wavelength emitted by the semiconductor laser is coupled to make the optical fiber generate beam. Then, the machine converges the beam into a small diameter spot to form a beam of high energy density and extremely bright light, which acts on the metal to be cut, which causes the temperature of the metal at the irradiation point to be sharp it rises and reaches the vaporization temperature instantaneously, causing evaporation and forming holes. And the machine uses this as the starting point, according to the shape requirements of the part to be cut, the beam and the part are moved relative to each other according to a certain trajectory to form a slit. At the same time, the auxiliary gas blowing device is used to remove the slag.

Failure to replace will affect the cutting quality and increase the cost, and some products may need to be reprocessed to reduce production efficiency.
• Make the power socket in good contact and the ground wire well grounded.
• Make the voltage of the water chiller stable.
Since the refrigeration compressor is sensitive to the power supply voltage, the standard working voltage is 200 ~ 250V (100 ~ 130V for 110V models). If you really need a wider operating voltage range, you can customize it separately.
• The mismatch of power frequency will cause damage to the machine.
Please use 50Hz or 60Hz models according to the actual situation.
• To protect the circulating water pump, running without water is strictly prohibited.
Before packing a new machine, the water tank must be emptied. Please make sure that the water tank is full of water before starting the machine, otherwise the water pump will be easily damaged. When the water level of the water tank is lower than the minimum requirement of the water level gauge, the cooling capacity of the chiller will drop, and the water level must be within the required range. The use of circulating pump drainage is strictly prohibited.
• Make sure that the air inlet and outlet channels of the chiller are smooth.
The air outlet above the chiller must be at least px away from the obstacle, and the side air inlet must be at least 500px away from the obstacle.
• The air inlet filter must be cleaned regularly.
The air filter must be removed and cleaned regularly. Serious blockage of the air filter will cause the chiller to malfunction.
• Please pay attention to the effect of condensate.
When the water temperature is lower than the ambient temperature and the ambient humidity is high, condensation water will be generated on the surface of the circulating water pipe and the device to be cooled. When the above situation occurs, it is recommended to increase the water temperature or insulate the water pipe and the cooled device.
• This type of laser machine is an industrial equipment, please do not allow non-professionals to operate.
