Overview of Laser Cutting Technology

Laser cutting technology is an advanced manufacturing technology that uses high-energy density laser beams to irradiate the surface of materials, causing them to quickly melt, vaporize, evaporate, or reach the ignition point, thereby achieving material cutting. Since the emergence of laser technology in the 1960s, laser cutting has been widely used in industrial production due to its advantages such as high precision, fast speed, small heat affected zone, narrow cutting seam, and smooth cutting edge. For example, according to the report of Industrial Laser Solutions magazine, laser cutting machines have become indispensable precision machining tools in industries such as automotive manufacturing, aerospace, electronics, and medical equipment. In addition, with the continuous advancement of laser technology, such as the emergence of fiber lasers, cutting speed and efficiency have been significantly improved, while reducing operating costs, making laser cutting technology develop towards a more intelligent and automated direction in the context of Industry 4.0.https://www.mhtcnc.com/product/tf-series-laser-pipe-cutting-machine/
