Industrial Laser Applications

Laser cutting is very effectively carried out by directing the energy of high power laser at the material. The laser beam melts or burns the metal with precision. The lasing material has to be stirred by electrical charges. The beam created does the needful for the stimulation process which is reflected internally by a partial mirror. The most commonly used laser medium that is widely used in the industry is Carbon Dioxide which is used very effectively for the purpose of Metal laser cutting. Mild steel, alumunium, tiatanium and other metals can be cut with the required precision. Today in the industrial scenario laser cutting is operated and monitored by CAD (Computer Aided Design) systems. In a fast axial flow resonator the mixture of Carbon Dioxide, helium and nitrogen is distributed by a high speed blower. The melt and blow or combination cutting uses high pressure gas to blow melt material from the power area by heavily lessening the power obligation. The advantages of laser cutting are also availed by the hobbyists.

Laser engraving, is the definite practice to apply laser to engrave or mark on objects. The process is not associated with the use of ink or tool bits, because the later contact the engraving surface and then wear out, so  that is the  reason that this type of engraving is distinct  from conventional types of engraving. This type of engraving has a greater impact in case of specialized designs in case of materials where laser can be used conveniently. These types of materials include laser responsive polymers and alloy metals. This technique is again quite useful in case of covering wide gamut of surfacing techniques printing, hot branding and laser bonding.

In fact the machines meant for engraving and marking are the same so the terms are used rather interchangeably. Such engraving machines have three basic components the laser, the controller and the surface. The beam emitted facilitates the controller to track patterns on to the surface. The controller which is actually a computer takes into account of the direction, strength and speed of the movement, also at the same time it monitors the application of the laser beams.

The Laser cutting machine is not of a uniform type intact you will find basically three types of such machines depending on the requirements and the applications. You will find Moving material, Hybrid and Flying Optics types. These different systems are used the way the laser beam is applied on the material.Manufacturerers have planned and designed the production process and the product ranges in such a way that the customer have the option for availing one stop ‘laser cutting’ shops. The machines are ideal for blending metals to the precise industrial requirements.
