What’s the consumption cost of fiber laser cutting machine?

Nov. 10, 2021

For one fiber laser cutter, the using consumption will include power consumption, consumable parts and gas consumable. Here are the consumable cost for different laser powers:

1000W Laser Cutting Machine Using Cost

Assisted gas Consumption		ChooseⅠ: using compressed air to cut Stainless steel	ChooseⅡ: using O2 to cut Stainless steel	ChooseⅢ: using N2 to cut Stainless steel
Power consumption	Laser source	3kw	3kw	3kw
	Water chiller	3.5kw	3.5kw	3.5kw
	Host machine	6kw	6kw	6kw
	Dust exhausting	3kw	3kw	3kw
Consumable parts		2.5 RMB/h	2.5 RMB/h	2.5 RMB/h
Gas consumption		5.5kw	15.5kw	15.5kw
Total power		21 kw	15.5 kw	15.5 kw
Average Power Consumption (Take 60％cutting efficiency)		21x60％=12.6 kw	15.5x60％=9.3 kw	15.5x60％=9.3 kw
All cost		12.6+2.5=15.1RMB/h	9.3+6.7+2.5=18.5 RMB/h	9.3+64+2.5=75.8 RMB/h

1500W Laser Cutting Machine Using Cost

Assisted gas Consumption		ChooseⅠ: using compressed air to cut Stainless steel	ChooseⅡ: using O2 to cut Stainless steel	ChooseⅢ: using N2 to cut Stainless steel
Power consumption	Laser source	4.5kw	4.5kw	4.5kw
	Water chiller	3.5kw	3.5kw	3.5kw
	Host machine	6kw	6kw	6kw
	Dust exhausting	3kw	3kw	3kw
Consumable parts		2.5 RMB/h	2.5 RMB/h	2.5 RMB/h
Gas consumption		5.5kw	6.7 RMB/h	64RMB/h
Total power		22.5 kw	17 kw	17 kw
Average Power Consumption (Take 60％cutting efficiency)		22.5x60％=13.5 kw	17x60％=10.2 kw	17x60％=10.2 kw
All cost		13.5+2.5=16 RMB/h	10.2+6.7+2.5=19.4 RMB/h	10.2+64+2.5=76.7 RMB/h

The power consumption mainly includes laser generator, water chiller, main parts, dust removal and other auxiliary equipment which are also the main components of the machine.

Wearable parts refer to the lenses, including collimating lenses, focusing lenses, protective lenses, ceramic rings and cutting nozzles.

There are two collimating lenses and the service life is 3 months

The service life of the focusing lens is 3 months

The protective lens and cutting nozzle are replaced per month and the ceramic ring can be used for one year or more.

Auxiliary gases include compressed air, oxygen and nitrogen, different gases have different power consumption.
