Laser cutting uses an invisible laser beam instead of a traditional mechanical blade, offering advantages such as high precision, fast cutting speed, no limitation on cutting patterns, automatic layout for material savings, smooth cuts, and low processing costs. It is gradually improving upon or replacing traditional metal cutting equipment. The mechanical parts of the laser cutter head do not contact the workpiece, preventing scratches on the workpiece surface during operation. Laser cutting is fast, producing smooth and flat cuts that generally require no further processing. The heat-affected zone is small, resulting in minimal material deformation and narrow kerfs (0.1mm~0.3mm). The cut is free of mechanical stress and shear burrs. It offers high processing precision, good repeatability, and does not damage the material surface. CNC programming allows for the processing of any planar shape, enabling the cutting of large sheets without the need for molds, saving time and money.
Laser light is a type of light, and like other natural light, it is produced by the transition of atoms (molecules or ions, etc.). However, unlike ordinary light, laser light relies on spontaneous emission only for a very short initial period. The subsequent process is entirely determined by stimulated emission. Therefore, laser light has a very pure color, almost no divergent directionality, extremely high luminous intensity, and high coherence.
