Gaaslaserlõikust

Gaaslaserlõikust is a metalworking process that utilizes a laser beam and a process gas to cut materials. The laser beam is typically generated by a CO2 laser, which produces a high-intensity beam of light. This beam is focused onto the surface of the material to be cut, creating a localized area of intense heat.

As the material melts or vaporizes, a stream of process gas is directed at the cutting zone. This gas serves several functions. It can assist in the removal of molten material from the cut, acting as a blowing agent. Additionally, some gases, like oxygen, can react exothermically with certain metals, further contributing to the cutting process and increasing speed. Other gases, such as nitrogen or argon, are used to prevent oxidation and ensure a clean cut edge, particularly for stainless steel and aluminum.

The laser head, containing the focusing optics and gas nozzle, is moved precisely across the material, guided by a computer numerical control (CNC) system. This allows for intricate shapes and high accuracy to be achieved. The speed of the cut, the laser power, and the type and pressure of the process gas are all critical parameters that are adjusted based on the material type, thickness, and desired outcome. Gaaslaserlõikust is widely used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing due to its precision, versatility, and ability to cut a wide range of metals.
