What is CO2 laser cutting machine?
CO2 laser cutting machine is a cutting equipment used in industrial production.
Introduction
In the field of non-metallic laser marking, solid-state laser marking machines and gas laser marking machines are common. Non-metallic laser cutting machines generally rely on laser power to drive the laser tube to emit light, and through the refraction of several reflectors, the light is transmitted to the laser head, and then The focusing mirror installed on the laser head gathers the light into a point, and this point can reach a very high temperature, so that the material is instantly sublimated into gas, which is sucked away by the exhaust fan, so as to achieve the purpose of cutting; generally laser cutting machines use The main gas filled in the laser tube is CO2, so this laser tube becomes a CO2 laser tube, and the laser cutting machine using this laser tube is called a CO2 laser cutting machine.
Industrial application
The world's first CO2 laser cutting machine was born in the 1970s. For more than 30 years, due to the continuous expansion of application fields and continuous improvement of CO2 laser cutting machines, many domestic and international enterprises have engaged in the production of various CO2 laser cutting machines to meet the needs of the market, including two-dimensional flat cutting machines, three-dimensional space Curve cutting machine, pipe cutting machine, etc. According to the statistics of the 2000 annual report of "Industrial LaserSolution", an authoritative magazine for the application of laser industry in the United States: in 1999, there were 3,325 laser cutting systems sold in the world, with a total of 1.174 billion US dollars. Although the development trend of laser cutting is fast, the application level is far behind that of developed countries. By 2003, the total number of CO2 laser cutting systems used in industrial production in my country has reached about 500, accounting for about 1.5% of the total number of operating systems in the world.
