Introduction: = Laser cutting is a technology that uses a laser to vaporise materials resulting in a cutting edge. = This technology typically used for industrial manufacturing, schools, small businesses, hobbyists. = Laser cutting is in high demand as it works with high precision & very low wastage. History : While people often think that laser cutting is a modern process, it isn’t a new concept . Laser cutting is a technology that has been with us for decades. Following are some of the inventions in laser cutting technology. = 1960 - First working, solid ruby laser invented by Theodore Maiman. = 1961 - Helium Neon laser by Bell laboratories. = 1962 - Semiconductor laser by Robert Haul. = 1964 - CO2 laser invented by kumar patel, Bell laboratories. = 1965 -First production laser cutting machine used to drill holes in diamond dies. = 1967 - First gas laser capable of continuous. operation. Why The Need : We need to cut material.( It may be rubber, wood, plastic, paper, etc. ) We also need precision and accuracy. If we consider in large manufacturing or factory precision and accuracy is very very important. Also we require fast cutting in less time. world runs on it. This all features provided by laser cutting. CNC: = Computer Numerical Control. = Make controlling things easy. = Back bone of the system. Working Principle : In this process as the laser beam strikes the surface of the workpiece, the heat energy from the laser beam is transferred to the workpiece this energy absorbed, melts & vaporises the material from the workpiece surface. Construction Of Laser : 1. Power Supply < Fas, tmp 2. Flash Lamp. Retectve emt . Pumping medium. Laser cry Lens. reflective 3. 4. Reflective mirror. 5. Working Of Laser : Power 100% mirror source, Quartz flash lamp aluminum 959% mirror Laser beam cylinder Note : 1] The Active laser medium can be - a) Solid . b) A Gas mixture. c) Fiber. 2] The laser resonator creates energy at the origin of the beam it can be - a) Light thanks to lamps. b) An electric discharge. Advantages : Contactless cutting. Ithas easier workholding requirement. Low thermal stress . More precise, accurate and clean cuts. Repeatability Flexibility Limitations : = Can't cut through thick stuff. = Low efficiency ( 5 % to 45% ) = Too expensive. = = Can't produce blind holes. = More power consumption. = Dangerous fumes. Applications Of Laser Cutting : Laser cutting is most often seen in industries that demand a lot of thin metal part. This includes ~ = Automotive = Architectural = Retail displays = Artand structural = Medical = Engraving and marketing Conclusion : Above are the basics of laser cutting process, laser cutting working principle, history also the working of laser . Various laser cutting applications, it’s advantages and limitations and this considerations that may be taken into account by manufacturers when deciding whether laser cutting is the most optimal solution for their particular cutting application.
