The application and popularization of laser sheet metal cutting

The advent of laser brings great convenience to modern life. Since Einstein's concept of stimulated emission of light foresees the emergence of lasers, the popularization of laser applications has witnessed the development of science and technology. Nowadays, laser technology has improved rapidly. After solid-state lasers, gas lasers, chemical lasers, dye lasers, atomic lasers, ion lasers, semiconductor lasers, X-ray lasers and fiber lasers have come out one after another. The application fields have also expanded to such as electronics, light Industry, packaging, gifts, hardware industry, medical equipment, automobiles, machinery manufacturing, steel, metallurgy, petroleum, etc., provide advanced technical equipment for the technological transformation of traditional industries and the modernization of manufacturing.　　 Here, Wuhan High Energy Laser will introduce to you the application of laser technology in sheet metal processing, and let you know the direction of future processing trends.　　The properties of the laser are very unique, with monochromaticity, coherence, directivity and high intensity. The laser beam is easy to transmit, and its time and space characteristics can be controlled separately. After focusing, a very small spot can be obtained. The laser beam with extremely high power density can melt and vaporize any material, and it can also perform precision on the local area of u200bu200bthe material. Fast processing. The heat input to the workpiece during processing is small, the heat-affected zone and thermal deformation are small; the processing efficiency is high; it is easy to realize automation. Therefore, in the processing of sheet metal, its most significant application is embodied in laser cutting; 　　The future development of laser cutting Since contemporary lasers and laser processing technology and equipment have reached a fairly mature stage, laser cutting is now applied in processing technology. the most. In addition, the metal laser cutting machine produced by Wuhan High Energy Laser has a high market share in the processing of sheet metal parts in the automobile manufacturing and machine tool manufacturing industries. It can be seen that the processing market recognizes the laser cutting machine. With the continuous improvement of the beam quality of power lasers and the continuous expansion of the scope of processing objects, the demand for laser cutting machines in the future market will gradually increase, the market share will also increase, and the fields involved will be more extensive. . Typical cases of laser cutting machine application Laser cutting machine application in the automotive field; advanced three-dimensional laser equipment, not only can achieve the cutting of car body parts, but also the entire car body cutting, welding, heat treatment, cladding, and even three-dimensional Measurement, so as to achieve technical requirements that cannot be achieved by conventional processing. The 3D laser equipment of TRUMPF Germany has been successfully used in Mercedes-Benz, Audi, BMW, Volkswagen, General Motors, Ford, Renault, SKODA, Opel, SAAB, VOLVO and DaimlerChrysler. Used for many years. Laser cutting machines are widely used in the aviation field; many international aeroengine companies use three-dimensional laser equipment to cut and perforate high-temperature alloy materials in the burner section. In military and civil aircraft aluminum alloy materials or special materials laser The cutting was successful. Today, Wuhan High Energy Laser has made great achievements in laser cutting machine manufacturing. With the continuous advancement of laser processing technology, laser cutting equipment, and laser processing technology, laser cutting machines will have a wide range of applications in the future. prospect.
