The laser processing of fiber laser processing machines is applying a laser beam to the surface of an object and causing a change in the shape or performance of the object. The essence is that the laser transmits energy to the processed material, which undergoes physical or chemical changes. The excellent performance of the high precision laser cutting machine makes it widely used in a wide range of industrial applications nowadays.
Basic Introduction to Laser Process
The laser processing technology can be divided into four levels:
- General processing
- Microfabrication (processing accuracy 0.1mm-1μm)
- Precision processing (processing accuracy 1μm-0.1μm)
- Ultra-precision processing (processing accuracy higher than 0.1pm)
The Benefits of The Precision Laser Cutting Machine
Small cutting slit
The cutting seam of the high precision laser cutting machine is generally 0.1-0.2mm.
Smooth cutting surface
The cutting surface of fiber laser processing machines is flat, burr-free and defect-free.
Small thermal deformation
The laser cutting slit of laser processing is thin, fast and energy concentrated, so the heat transferred to the material to be cut is small, and the deformation caused to the material is also minimal.
Save on material
The precision laser cutting machine adopts computer programming, allowing to set and cut materials from different shapes of products, maximizing the material utilization and greatly reducing the cost of materials for business.
Ideal for new product development
Fiber laser processing machines are very suitable for new product development. Once the product drawing is formed, laser processing can be done immediately, and you can get the new product in kind in the shortest possible time.
Precise & Meticulous
The laser beam from the high precision laser cutting machine can be focused to very small dimensions, making it particularly suitable for precision machining. In addition, laser precision machining has high processing accuracy and fewer factors affecting its quality, which is generally better than other traditional processing methods.
Safety & Reliability
Laser precision machining is non-contact machining, which does not cause mechanical extrusion or mechanical stress to the material. Compared with EDM and plasma arc machining, the heat-affected zone and deformation are very small, making the precision laser cutting machine suitable for processing extremely small parts.
Cost-effective
Not limited by the number of processing, laser processing is s low-cost option for small batch processing services. But for the processing of large products, the mold manufacturing cost is relatively high.
In contrast, laser processing does not require any mold manufacturing, which can completely avoid the collapsed edge formed when the material is punched and sheared. In a word, fiber laser processing machines can substantially reduce the production cost of enterprises and improve product grade.
Widely applications
Electrolytic processing can only process conductive materials, photochemical processing is only applicable to easily corrosive materials, and plasma processing is difficult to process certain materials with high melting points.
However, laser precision processing is versatile, which makes the high precision laser cutting machine has a wide range of objects, including almost all metallic and non-metallic materials. And it is very suitable for sintering, punching, marking, cutting, welding, surface modification, chemical vapor deposition, etc.
Quick & High Speed
From the viewpoint of the processing cycle, the tool electrode of EDM processing requires high precision and high loss, and the processing cycle is long. The design of the cathode die for the processing cavity and surface of electrolytic processing is a big workload, and the manufacturing cycle is also long. The photochemical processing process is complicated.
Laser precision processing is easy to operate, the width of the cutting slit is easy to adjust and control, and the high-speed engraving and cutting can be carried out immediately according to the computer output pattern. The fast processing speed makes the processing cycle shorter than other methods.
Conclusion
All in all, laser precision machining technology has many advantages over traditional processing methods, making fiber laser processing machines have broad prospects.
