Fiber laser cutting machine: technical principles, application fields, and market prospects
1、 简介
With the advent of Industry 4.0, fiber laser cutting machines, as an advanced manufacturing technology, are increasingly being applied in various industrial production. This article aims to explore the working principle, application fields, and future market prospects of fiber laser cutting machines.
2、 The working principle of fiber laser cutting machine
Fiber laser cutting machines mainly use the high energy density of laser beams to cut materials. The basic principle can be summarized as follows: the laser generator generates a laser beam, which is transmitted to the cutting head through optical fibers. The laser beam is focused on a very small spot through a focusing mirror, forming a high-energy density laser focus. When the laser focus is irradiated on the surface of the material, the material rapidly melts, vaporizes, or even reaches a plasma state. At the same time, auxiliary gases (such as oxygen, nitrogen, etc.) blow away the melted or vaporized material, thereby achieving cutting of the material.
3、 Application fields of fiber laser cutting machines
