How Power Density Impacts Fiber Laser Cutting Speed and Quality

Problem: Power ≠ Performance In 2022, a fabrication lab in São Paulo upgraded from a 3kW to a 12kW fiber laser cutter, expecting speed to triple. It didn’t. They ran 8mm mild steel at 1.5 m/min with nitrogen assist—but above 6kW, dross and edge oxidation returned. At 12kW, performance dropped. Turns out, beam quality and power density mattered far more than wattage alone. Technical Grounding: What Power Density Really Means Power density = Laser Power ÷ Beam Area Measured in W/cm², it governs how fast and clean a laser can cut through material. The shop had unknowingly used a multi-mode fiber with a 100μm core diameter, resulting in a spot size over 300μm—diluting power density. That meant: Slower material penetration Broader kerf width Higher heat-affected zone (HAZ) When they switched to a Raytu RT-S Series 6kW system using single-mode beam delivery , the effective power density increased from ~150kW/cm² to over 500kW/cm² , despite using half the power. Result: Sp...

Why Fiber Laser Cutting Is Outpacing Plasma in 2025

 Why Traditional Plasma Is Falling Behind? Back in 2019, plasma cutters still dominated in low-cost fabrication shops. They were loud, smoky, but dependable. However, shops chasing tighter tolerances and cleaner finishes soon hit a wall. Take an industrial HVAC ducting supplier in Ankara, Turkey, running 120A plasma for 4–12mm mild steel. On paper, the system pushed out 750mm/min at 8mm thickness. In reality? They were losing 11–17% of sheets due to edge taper and rough dross buildup. Post-cut grinding alone took up 5 hours per shift. Technical Breakthrough: What Changed with Fiber Lasers? By early 2023, the shop upgraded to a Raytu RT-G Series 6kW fiber laser system. Results were immediate. The fiber laser uses a single-mode beam source, delivering ~25–30μm spot size, which enables a 6:1 depth-to-width ratio when cutting up to 12mm stainless. Unlike CO₂ or plasma, fiber delivery eliminates beam misalignment and mirror contamination entirely.  They also switched to high-pressu...

How a German Auto Supplier Cut Rework by 32% with Raytu Laser Welding Machines

 Back in 2023, a Fortune 500 automotive supplier based in Stuttgart, Germany faced a growing challenge. Their traditional TIG welding lines couldn’t keep up with the precision demands of turbocharger housing fabrication. The average weld pass rate hovered around 87%, largely due to thermal distortion and insufficient penetration—especially on high-nickel alloys. Turning Point They introduced a Raytu FWS-Series 1500W fiber laser welder , featuring keyhole welding mode with a deep-to-width ratio of 6:1 and 25kHz waveform modulation. The result? Clean, spatter-free welds with penetration control accurate to ±0.05mm. Results at a Glance Rework rate dropped from 13% to 8.8% Welding cycle time per unit reduced by ~21% Post-weld X-ray pass rate reached 97.3% As lead process engineer Matthias K. put it: "We used to pray the weld didn’t crack after cooling. Now we can CT-scan the joints with full confidence." 👉 See the welding solution they used – FWS-Series by Raytu Followin...
