Why Is The Pico Laser Cutting Machine More Expensive Than The Nanosecond Laser Machine?

The same type of laser type picosecond laser cutting machine price is higher than nanosecond laser cutting machine price, what is the magic of picosecond laser cutting machine?
Picosecond laser cutting machines have a number of advantages in a wide range of industrial micromachining applications. In particular, it has almost no heat affected zone, the material range is extremely wide, even the visible and near infrared light area transparent material. In particular, now a new generation of industrial picosecond lasers can achieve the advantages of this technology. Many nanosecond lasers can not meet the cutting requirements where the picosecond laser has been used. 
Ordinary nanosecond laser cutting mainly depends on the pulse width in nanosecond range of nanosecond lasers emitted by nanosecond lasers, through the photothermal effect to remove the material.
In this case, the focused laser beam has a very high energy, which rapidly heats the target material and eventually vaporizes it to complete the cutting. Nanosecond laser thermal cutting can quickly remove a relatively large number of target materials and nanosecond laser technology has a sound technical foundation, highly reliable source, operating costs are also very attractive. However, there are still some restrictions on demanding cutting tasks.
