## What Affects the Performance of Fiber Laser Cutter Machine?

The factors that affect fiber laser cutting machine performance include laser generator, light path, air cock, auxiliary gas, cutting parameters and materials.

| Laser generator                | Model                                                                                                                                   | Single-mode, multimode, low mode are suitable for thin plate cutting, high-modulus is suitable for thick plate cutting                                                 |

| Power                          | The cutting performance is decided by the laser power                                                                                   |                                                                                                                                                                        |
