We are looking into information about 1-2 KW Laser cutting machines. We have received info from various companies but shortlisted 2.
Major difference between those 2 is the laser source.
For similar price, we are getting:
1.5KW with IPG & ECAT Controller
OR
2KW with Raycus & High end 64bit CNC controller (Not sure exactly which controller is this)
Our main application at this moment is CR/GI sheets up to 3 mm, SS upto 1.5mm. However we are looking in to going for higher thickness products in near future.
SO which one will be suitable for us in general?
Our priorities: Long life without power drop, high speed cutting.
Slightly biased towards IPG as Raycus is Chinese. However looking for your opinion on the same.
