Laser Processing
(1) Basic principles
Laser processing uses the energy of light to reach a very high energy density at the focus after being focused by a lens, so that the material can be melted or vaporized and removed in a very short time to achieve processing.
(2) Main features
Laser processing technology has the advantages of less material waste, obvious cost effects in large-scale production, and strong adaptability to processing objects. In Europe, laser technology is basically used for the welding of special materials such as high-end car shells and bases, aircraft wings, and spacecraft fuselages.
(3) Scope of use
Laser processing is the most commonly used application of laser systems. The main technologies include: laser welding, laser cutting, surface modification, laser marking, laser drilling, micromachining and photochemical deposition, stereolithography, laser etching, etc.
