FAQs
for CTK-FC3000 High Power Fibre Laser
The CTK-FC3000-E is equipped with enhanced interface and control options, designed for fully automated production environments. It supports advanced feedback signals, tighter process control, and easier integration into complex machine networks like CNC systems or robotic cells. The CTK-FC3000-P, on the other hand, focuses on core laser performance while offering simplified I/O connectivity. It is ideal for systems with lower automation levels or where cost-efficiency is prioritized. In short: if your setup requires deep integration and flexibility, choose the E model. If your focus is on robust standalone laser performance, the P model is the right choice.
Yes, the CTK-FC3000 series is engineered for 24/7 continuous operation in harsh industrial environments. Its rugged housing, intelligent thermal management, and modular design ensure stable output even under prolonged high-power use. The laser remains thermally stable and optically precise during extended production shifts. Internal monitoring systems protect the laser from overheating or power fluctuations, ensuring safe and long-lasting performance. This makes it particularly well suited for high-throughput cutting lines, automated welding stations, and precision manufacturing processes.
The CTK-FC3000 is optimized for a wide range of materials, including:
- Stainless and carbon steel
- Aluminum and copper
- Titanium and high-performance alloys
Thanks to its 1080 nm wavelength and 100 µm fiber core, the laser achieves high absorption rates even in reflective materials. The good beam quality allows narrow kerf widths and deep penetration, resulting in clean edges and minimal rework. In combination with the right optics, it also handles multi-pass welding, cutting of thick sheets, or heat-sensitive microstructuring with ease. Reflective metals like copper or brass pose no issue, as the fiber laser uses back-reflection-safe architecture.
The CTK-FC3000 series is designed with integration in mind. It comes with a simplified control interface that supports standard industrial protocols such as digital/analog I/O, and optionally RS232 or Ethernet. The E-version especially offers more granular system signals, making it compatible with PLC-controlled machines, robotic systems, or vision-guided processes. Thanks to the well-documented interface and available software support, most users can integrate the laser within a few days – including safety checks and calibration. This fast integration reduces time-to-production and increases system flexibility in both greenfield and retrofit projects.
Routine maintenance of the CTK-FC3000 is intentionally simple and can be performed by trained in-house personnel. Key service points include:
- Visual inspection and cleaning of the QBH connector
- Checking the laser fiber and protective hose for damage
- Verifying the function of status LEDs and safety interlocks
- Monitoring fan filters and cooling water (if applicable)
The modular design allows technicians to replace power modules or interface boards without sending the entire unit back. Optional remote diagnostic support is available to minimize downtime and reduce service costs. In short: the CTK-FC3000 is built to be robust, low-maintenance, and user-serviceable – saving time and money in demanding environments.
