How to choose the right laser cutting machine? Buying Guide
Choosing the right laser cutting machine can be a daunting task, but with careful consideration, you can make an informed decision. Here are some key factors to keep in mind when purchasing a laser cutting machine.TEKIO LASER is an industry leading manufacturer of laser cutting machines and this guide will help you choose the fiber laser cutting machine that best suits your requirements.
Material
Different laser cutting machines are designed to cut different materials. For example, CO2 laser cutting machines are suitable for cutting non-metallic materials such as wood, acrylic and plastics, while fiber cutting laser machines are best suited for cutting metallic materials such as stainless steel, aluminum and brass. Therefore, you should first determine the type of material you want to cut and then choose a laser cutter that is compatible with those materials
Demand
At present, there are three main types of laser cutting machines applied to metal: plate laser cutting machine, tube laser cutting machine, and plate and tube integrated machines. You can choose the right machine according to the type of metal you are processing.
Power
The power of a laser cutting machine is measured in watts and it determines how thick a material can be cut. If you plan to cut thicker materials, you will need a machine with higher power. A lower-powered machine may be more suitable for thinner materials. If you usually process stainless steel plate within 2MM, 1000W laser cutting machine is enough; 6-8MM stainless steel plate, choose 2000-3000W laser cutting machine is more cost-effective. If the usual processing of thicker materials, then higher power laser cutting machine is required. For example, 20MM stainless steel, you can use 8000W and above power laser cutting machine.
Size
The size of your laser cutting machine is an important consideration, especially if you have limited space in your shop. Choose a machine that will fit comfortably in your work area and still have enough room for you to move around the machine.
Speed
The cutting speed of the machine is another important factor to consider. A machine with a higher cutting speed will cut faster, which is important if you are working on a large project or have a large order. When cutting thin plates again, two low-power laser cutting machines process faster than high-power laser cutting machines
Accuracy
The accuracy of your laser cutting machine is also important, especially if you need to cut complex designs or shapes. Look for a machine that has a high degree of accuracy and precision.
Quality
TEKIO offers the best quality laser cutting machine at the best price. However, some manufacturers will emphasize the low price of their products, but neglect the core configuration on the equipment. The core configuration of the laser cutting machine mainly includes: cutting head, laser, motor, machine tool, CNC system, lens, etc. These configurations determine the quality of the laser cutting machine, which in turn affects the price of the equipment. Do not ignore the equipment configuration because of the cheap price. TEKIO laser using IPG and other international first-line brands, electronic control using Germany or Japan first-line brands, the equipment all meet ce standards. At the same time, the weight of the bed is also a parameter that needs to be understood, the most important parameter is the net weight of the bed, the same working area, the heavier the bed, the better. In addition, the bed bearing weight is also very important, which determines whether it can meet the needs of processing.
Price
The price of laser cutting machines varies greatly, ranging from tens of thousands of dollars to millions of dollars. At TEKIO, we can customize your laser cutting machine to fit your company’s requirements. Consider your budget carefully and choose a machine that offers the features you need at a price you can afford.

TEKIO has several agents and branches in Europe, and the agents and branches are equipped with a parts warehouse for quick after-sales service support.
By considering these factors and doing your research, you can choose the right laser cutter for your needs and easily create a quality product.
