40-60 Watts –Medium production power level for deeper, high speed engraving and slightly thick cutting operations. 60-80 Watts –High production power level provides increased throughput deep engraving and cutting.
100-180 Watts – Very high production power level that is ideal for heavy cutting and deep, higher throughput engraving. For example, if you want to cut acrylic of thickness of over 2cm (Include 2cm) or other thick material; you can choose high power lasers.
200 Watt – GSI, Imported from UK. It can cut at most 3mm iron and thick non-metals. It is very suitable for thin materials cutting.
500Watt – YAG. It can cut at most 8mm iron. Anyway, it can cut brass, aluminum, stainless steel, titanium and so on.
4) Speed:
More profit can be realize in short time with high working speed. So speed is the important factor on whether you can get the orders and get the profits.
5) Other features:
