Laser cutting is a non-traditional machining method that uses an intensely focused, coherent stream of light called a laser to cut through the material. On the other hand, laser drilling is another type of laser machining process that produces a hole through the workpiece achieved by different ...
CO2 laser cutting machine:The laser is generated by electrically stimulating a mixture of gases(mainly carbon dioxide).This is a common type of laser cutter because they are low powered, relatively cheap and efficient. CO2 laser cutting machine is suitable for cutting non-metallic materials, such ...
but by air instead. Cutting is rapid and only requires a cutting instrument, such as a pair of scissors or, for more complex patterns, a laser cutter or die cutter (Wanget al., 2012a). With this method, tape is necessary to support any free-standing structures, which leads to an extr...
Laser cutting machine has a beam (2) which passes through a nozzle (1) for cutting gas. This tapers from its inlet to a central point (B) and diverges from this to the outlet. The nozzle and the housing (3) on which it is mounted can swivel about the central point. An independent...
Laser Cutting Basics: A laser cutter is a prototyping and manufacturing tool used primarily by engineers, designers, and artists to cut and etch into flat material. Laser cutters use a thin, focused laser beam to pierce and cut through materials to cut o
Tooling Costs: Unlike CNC machining, laser cutters do not make use of a wide range of tools. There is no tool wear due to friction as the laser cutter head does not contact the raw material. No Workholding: Laser cutters do not require clamps or other workholding equipment during cutting....
A new job: If starting a new laser cutting job, there are rulers along the X=0, Y=0 borders that are black with white markings that become dirty quickly. A short time after you have used your laser cutter, these markings will become unreadable from the affluent produced and may not be...
Two such machines are the CNC machine and the laser cutter. Both are high-speed machines capable of the precision cutting of parts with intricate shapes, and they are reliable, fast, and provide excellent repeatability. But the differences between the two methods are not subtle, and they requir...
Super-stealth laser cutting with nanometre precision and aspect ratios of the order of 1,000 is demonstrated. The technique is applicable to a broad variety of transparent solids, including silica, lithium tantalate, lithium niobate, YAG, Ce:YAG, Ti:sapphire and β-Ga2O3. Zhen-Ze Li , Hua...
A fiber laser sheet metal cutter is a high-precision metal cutting system with a fully automatic CNC controller, which allows it to use the CAM system to drive the laser head to cut through metal plates (such as stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, brass, gold and silver) based on th...
