Applications
Laser
Cutting: Laser cutting is
one of the biggest applications of lasers in materials processing. They are used in cutting a variety of
materials such as metals, nonmetals and organics. The wavelength, power, beam quality and spot size are
some of the parameters that determine the cutting dynamics. Pulsed lasers are used for fine cutting of
thin metals and CW lasers are used for cutting wide range of material thickness, as thick as up to 1.5
inches.
Laser welding:
Lasers offer a
wide range of welding capabilities such as spot, conduction, penetration and hybrid welding. Laser
welding is performed virtually in every industry as it offers numerous benefits such as high
welding speeds, short weld cycles, low heat input, low heat affected zone and minimal
distortion.
Laser Marking: Laser marking is widely employed on large scale for part identification and
traceability. Lasers mark a wide range of materials that include metals, nonmetals, ceramics, plastics,
organics, and semiconductors, to name a few. Laser marking is fast and flexible process that can mark
alphanumeric, graphics, logos, barcodes and even bitmaps.
Laser
Drilling: Laser drilling is
a successful manufacturing solution in many industries due to it advantages over using conventional
drilling techniques. Advantages include non-contact processing, low heat input into the material,
flexibility to drill a wide range of materials, accuracy and
consistency.
