What is a laser beam machining?

The

laser beam or LBM machining includes the use of laser beam technology to perform functions that usually fulfill conventional milling machines. The most commonly used type of lasers include carbon dioxide (CO2) and doped neonsmium: Yttrium aluminum granet (ND: YAG). The adaptability of these tools allows them to perform more than one function and a wide range of industries that often use laser beam machining technology includes car and jewelers.

CO2 Laser is one of the more powerful types of laser used in machining laser beam. These lasers can generate 400 to 1,500 Watt energy that can cut 1 inch (2.5-centimeter) thick carbon steel. The tool uses mirrors that point the proton laser beam to the desired cutting point. The laser generally performs a tapering cut when it moves along the Z axis when the work surface travels along the X and Y axis. The branches generally use CO2 laser power for cutting and profiling.

Flexibility of the YAG laser beam allows manufacturers to use a machine that transmits a beam directly to the cutting surface or through something as small as an optical fiber cable. Lasers transmitted by the fiber optics can be incorporated into robotic machines that can move on any axis around a stationary workplace. Although it is not as strong as the CO2 laser, Laser Yag can drill a hole in a depth of six times the diameter of its beam. In addition to laser boring industries, YAG lasers for etching and engraving.

Depending on the required function, industrial industries use CO2 or YAG tools for laser beam machining and transmission the desired tasks to the laser. Manufacturers design each tool in sizes from desktop models to free -standing rooms. Owners of small businesses and velKé industrial factories use laser beam machining on pads from cardboard, cork and wood to steel, steel alloys and stone.

Industrial production applications include metals cutting or welding in airplane factories, automotive industry and boat construction. Jewelers also use laser welding on fine pieces of jewelry and engineers use laser beam machining to restore corroded parts by joining material into damaged areas. Laser beams perform complex cuts in plastic and metal forums for components installed in electronics or household machinery. It works similarly to an ink beam printer, the independence of the laser beam is also used for engraved glass, plastic and stone.
