Things to Know Before Buying a Fiber Laser Cutting Machine
Fiber laser cutting machine uses fiber laser as the core light source. The working principle is that the high-energy laser beam generated by the laser is focused and forms a tiny spot on the surface of the workpiece, causing the material to instantly reach a molten or vaporized s...
