lézervágást

Lézervágást, known in English as laser cutting, is a thermal cutting process that utilizes a high-powered laser to cut materials. The laser beam is focused onto the material, heating it to its melting or vaporization point, and a gas jet is often used to blow away the molten or vaporized material, resulting in a clean cut. This technology is widely employed across various industries due to its precision, speed, and ability to cut intricate designs.

The process begins with a laser generator, which produces a concentrated beam of light. This beam is then guided by mirrors or fiber optics to the cutting head, where a lens focuses it onto the workpiece. The material's properties, such as thickness and type, determine the laser's power, wavelength, and cutting speed. Common materials that can be processed with laser cutting include metals like steel, aluminum, and brass, as well as plastics, wood, textiles, and paper.

The advantages of lézervágást are numerous. Its non-contact nature means there is no mechanical stress on the material, preventing deformation. The narrow kerf, or width of the cut, allows for high detail and minimal material waste. Furthermore, the process is highly automated, enabling efficient production of complex shapes and intricate patterns. Lézervágást is a versatile technology, finding applications in automotive manufacturing, aerospace, electronics, signage, art, and prototyping.
