Laserprosessit

Laserprosessit are manufacturing techniques that utilize focused laser beams to alter or remove material. These processes offer high precision, speed, and non-contact interaction, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.

Common laser processes include laser cutting, where a high-power laser beam melts, burns, or vaporizes material along a precise path, leaving a clean edge. Laser welding joins materials by melting their edges with a laser, creating strong, localized welds with minimal heat-affected zones. Laser drilling creates small, precise holes in materials, often used in electronics and aerospace. Laser marking and engraving use a laser to alter the surface of a material to create a visible mark or design, often for identification or branding purposes.

The choice of laser and process parameters depends on the material being worked on, the desired outcome, and the required precision. Lasers can operate in continuous wave (CW) or pulsed modes, with different wavelengths and power levels tailored for specific tasks. Advantages of laser processing include minimal thermal distortion, high accuracy, automation capabilities, and the ability to process hard or brittle materials. However, initial equipment costs can be significant, and certain reflective materials may require special handling. Laser processes are widely employed in industries such as automotive, electronics, medical device manufacturing, and jewelry production.
