At the 2015 FABTECH show in Chicago, 12 companies displayed their cutting machines using IPG multi-kilowatt fi ber lasers. These lasers have dem- onstrated higher processing speeds than CO2


technology. The trend in


technology, at a lower cost with the ability to cut materials such as copper and brass not possible with CO2


the cutting industry is toward higher fi ber-laser power as the builders increase the speed of their machines and the thickness capability. Standard

machines have moved up from 2-kW power, with 6-kW machines becoming more common. The speed increase and thickness capability has easily jus- tifi ed this shift. The company Megafab (Rockford, IL), demonstrated a cutting machine with a 12-kW IPG Photonics fi ber laser, cutting 5/8" (16-mm) mate- rial at over 500 ipm (12,700 mm/min) at FABTECH. Of particular note is that fi ber-laser technology can now outper- form plasma in cutting that thickness. The major portion of the welding market utilizes fi ber lasers from the
