Laser Processing Machines - Global Industry Market Analysis Report 2020-2031

Laser Processing Machines is a device that uses a high-energy-density laser beam to process materials. By focusing the laser energy on the surface of the material, it causes physical or chemical changes, thereby achieving a variety of processing operations such as cutting, welding, drilling, and engraving.

Its working principle is based on the thermal effect and photochemical effect of the laser. When the laser beam irradiates the surface of the material, the energy of the photon is absorbed by the material and converted into heat energy, causing the material to heat up rapidly. During the cutting process, the material is heated to the melting point or even the boiling point, and part of the material is vaporized and blown away by the auxiliary gas, thus forming an incision. During welding, the material is melted by heat and connected after cooling. When engraving and drilling, a high-energy-density laser beam is used to ablate specific patterns or holes on the surface of the material. The photochemical effect refers to the interaction between laser photons and material molecules in some cases, triggering chemical reactions and changing the properties of the material.

There are many types of laser processing machines. According to the laser working material classification, it can be divided into solid laser processing machine (such as Nd:YAG laser processing machine), gas laser processing machine (such as CO2 laser processing machine), fiber laser processing machine, etc. The laser wavelength output by the Nd:YAG laser processing machine is relatively short, which is suitable for processing metal materials and has high processing accuracy; the laser wavelength output by the CO2 laser processing machine is relatively long, which is often used for processing non-metallic materials, such as wood, cloth, acrylic, etc.; the fiber laser processing machine has the advantages of good beam quality, high conversion efficiency, and simple maintenance, and is widely used in the field of metal processing. According to the processing technology classification, there are laser cutting machines, laser welding machines, laser drilling machines, laser marking machines, etc. Different types of processing machines are designed and optimized for specific processing needs.

Laser processing machines have many significant performance characteristics. First, the processing accuracy is high, and the laser beam spot diameter can be focused to the micron level, which can achieve high-precision processing and meet the needs of precision manufacturing. Secondly, the processing speed is fast, which can greatly improve production efficiency compared with traditional mechanical processing methods. Moreover, laser processing is a non-contact processing, which will not produce mechanical stress on the material, avoid material deformation and damage, and is suitable for the processing of various brittle, soft or heat-sensitive materials. In addition, the laser processing machine is highly flexible, and a variety of processing patterns and shapes can be achieved through computer programming, which is easy to realize automated production.

In the application field, laser processing machines are widely used in the manufacturing industry. In the automobile manufacturing industry, it is used for cutting, welding and punching of automobile parts, such as welding of body structural parts and processing of engine parts, which improves the precision and quality of automobile manufacturing. In the field of electronic manufacturing, it is used for cutting circuit boards, marking and micro-processing of chips, etc., which meets the requirements of miniaturization and high precision of electronic components. In the field of aerospace, it is used to process aircraft engine blades, aircraft structural parts, etc., and can process parts of complex shapes and improve material utilization. In the jewelry processing, advertising production and other industries, laser processing machines also play an important role, used for jewelry engraving, advertising logo production, etc.

Looking to the future, with the continuous development of laser technology, laser processing machines will develop in the direction of higher power, higher precision and more intelligence. Researchers will focus on developing new laser light sources and processing technologies to improve the performance and efficiency of laser processing machines. At the same time, with the integration of technologies such as artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, laser processing machines will have functions such as intelligent monitoring, fault diagnosis and remote control, further improving the level of intelligent production and expanding their application in more emerging fields.
