Companies and industries that use the raw materials mentioned above and need to cut or engrave to a certain shape can consider the Co2 laser cutting machines.

Co2 laser cutter has been widely applied in the following industries such as advertising and signage, clothing and apparel, labels and appliques, promotion gifts and toys, art and craft, stencil and model, home textile and furniture, decorations, automotive interiors, etc.

Yes, the Co2 laser cutter is very safe. While using a Co2 laser cutter, only CAD design and layout files are necessary. You can import the layout file into the laser control software and after setting cutting parameters, the laser cutter will start the cutting process automatically. You can hire a 50+-year-old operator to take care of the super simple pattern pick-up job.

For KASU K Series and KX Series models, the upper safe cover for the laser cutter is equipped. Laser off when opening the cover system is available. But due to the LED lighting and top camera holding structure design, most KD Series machines have an open operating area.

Co2 laser is a very safe cutting method, and most of our clients pick up the cut patterns while the laser head moves. But if your country has strict security regulations, you will need our all-around safe cover design model for KD Series to meet your government’s requirements.

Besides that, we try everything to make a reliable machine to protect both your operator and machine. We give each of our laser tubes a high-voltage wire silicone insulation treatment. The laser tube’s high-voltage wire and sheet metal distance are very close. And if without this treatment, the wire can easily get fire in the humidity environment, thus damaging the laser tube. The joint is insulated by multiple means. Eventually, it will also be supported with an insulated support frame to keep distance from the sheet metal and thus avoid high voltage fires.

And the emergency stop switch, alarm lamp, and safety stickers are only some examples you can see from the appearance of the laser cutter we have done to make the KASU machine safer and stabler.

But while laser cutting can be used for various materials, the thermal cutting method is not a hundred percent safe for the environment. If your local government has demanding environmental requirements, it is recommended that you equip your laser cutter with an industrial air purifier.

To import a Co2 laser cutter from China, you need to calculate the EXW price of the laser cutter, the international transportation expenses, the import expenses, import and local taxation, and local transportation expenses.

And EXW price of the laser cutter varies from 2,500USD-40,000USD depending on the different models.

There are many factors that need to be taken into account when calculating how long you can get your investment back after buying the KASU laser cutting machine or what is the ROI. And generally speaking, a Co2 laser cutter’s ROI can be 1-6 months.

The machine investment, your local worker’s salary, their social welfare, the cutting efficiency of the workers, the rent of your plant, your local electricity costs, the taxes, etc. need to be calculated.

When calculating the ROI of laser cutting machines, the main influencing factor is your local workers’ salaries. Because KASU laser cutting machine’s consumables, power consumption, floor space, etc. are negligible. You only need to consider the total cost of a KASU laser cutting machine to your factory, how many operators you can replace, and how much your workers’ salaries are, and then you can calculate the ROI.

Take China, for example, the high efficiency of Chinese workers is recognized worldwide. A KASU KD1814-SY laser cutting machine can replace at least 5 Chinese manual cutting workers. The average worker’s salary in China plus social welfare is US$1000-1300/month, so the ROI (return on investment) for our equipment in China is 2-3 months.

This is only based on an 8-hour working day. The ROI would be much higher if the laser cutter was running 24 hours a day. If the salary per worker in your country is US$200 per month, the ROI could be 6-8 months, because, in our experience, one laser cutter in your country can replace at least 10 manual workers. And in developed countries, the ROI maybe 1-2 months, as local labor salary can reach US$2000-3000/month.
