Fiber laser cutting machines are widely used in various industries. And with the development of the industry, the demand for fiber laser cutting machines is also growing. When customers purchase equipment, they often care about operating costs. Then let’s take a detailed analysis of fiber laser cutting machine operating costs.
And the cost of using a fiber laser cutting machine mainly includes power consumption, auxiliary gas costs, and consumable parts.
Then take a 500W fiber laser cutting machine as an example:
1. Power consumption:
The 500W fiber laser cutting machine consumes 6 degrees of electricity per hour, and the electricity cost is about 6 yuan / hour (calculated at 1 yuan / kWh).
2. Auxiliary gas consumption:
| Gas type | Gas price | usage time | Consumption (yuan/hour) | Remarks |
| oxygen | 15 yuan / bottle | 1 hour | 15 | Cutting 5mm carbon steel plate |
| Nitrogen | 800yuan / can | 12-16 hour | 65 | Take 1mm stainless steel as an example |
| air | 5 (air compressor cost) | Best for steel plates up to 2mm |
Remarks:
Oxygen is bottle; nitrogen is more cost-effective than bottle filling, and it also saves the operator’s time of ventilation and waste from excessive bottled gas. In addition, gas prices will vary in different regions.
3. Consumption of other consumables:
| name | Normal service life (hours) | unit price | Hourly consumption remarks |
