  1. sales@altparts.com Let's Discover the Behind the Scenes of  Laser Cutters        Laser cutters help you produce products with high standards         of precision. They are accurate and capable of providing you         detailed and complex cuts. Overall, they provide you the         freedom to design your products the way you want. You can         cut materials using these machines according to your designs.         And 99.9% of the time there are no chances of error.                                                          These are fully automated and saves a lot of your production           time. As your worker just needs to move materials, it leads to           low material wastage with lower production costs. They can         also provide laser engraving services to develop your projects                                                       www.altparts.com

You can produce             different depths and dimensions of your projects.          Let’s find out how.  The Working  It is a digital manufacturing technology, working on 2D vector           files. The laser cutter has a laser resonator that depends on             the cutting method, containing a mixture of a crystal body or       glass fibers. When there is a force of energy applied to the             mixture of the cutting process, the force sends the beam         through different mirror lenses which focus on the laser.                                                              The laser beam travels through the nozzle straight at the         material. When it contacts the surface, it vaporizes the         material in the shape of the vector file. There is a part of the             material which melts with the laser, that is Kerf.                                        Basically, the laser beam is a column of very high-intensity             light of a single wavelength or color. For a typical CO2 laser, its             wavelength is in the infra-red part of the light spectrum.         Hence, it is invisible to the human eye. The beam is about ¾ of             an inch in diameter. It travels from the laser resonator that             creates the beam on the machine’s beam path. These rays may           bounce in different directions by several mirrors, or beam       benders before they focus onto the plate. The focused beam         will go through the bore of a nozzle right before it hits the                                                                                                                           www.altparts.com

  3. sales@altparts.com plate. Also passing through that nozzle bore is a compressed         gas like Oxygen or Nitrogen.              You can focus the laser beam by a special lens, or a curved             mirror that takes place in the laser cutting head. It should           focus on the spot of the laser material. The focus spot and             density of the energy on it should be perfectly round,           consistent, and centered in the nozzle. Just like when you use         a magnifying glass to focus the sun’s rays onto a leaf, and that             soon catches fire. Now when you think about when you focus           6KWatts of energy into a single spot, it can get extremely hot.           The laser cutters containing ​Mazak parts or Bystronic parts can easily handle these high wattages for the best results.                                                                                                                          This high-powered density can cause rapid heating, melting,       and partial or complete vaporizing of the material. When you         are cutting mild steel, the heat of the laser beam is enough to           create an “oxy-fuel” burning process, and the laser gas will be         pure oxygen, resembling an oxy-fuel torch. When you cut         stainless steel or aluminum, the laser beam melts the material.         The high-pressure nitrogen is the main component to blow         the molten metal out of the kerf.                                                                                      With a CNC laser cutter, laser cutting head can move over the             metal plate in the shape of the desired part. Hence, it cuts the               part out of the plate. A capacitive height control system can             maintain an accurate distance between the end of the nozzle         and the plate being cut. The cut can be affected by raising or                                                                         www.altparts.com

But when you control them properly, laser cutting         gives a stable, reliable, and accurate cutting process.                      The Endless Opportunities that come with it  You can make the most of this technology in various industries               using high-quality laser cutters       Bystronic parts​. Whether it is a mechanical engineering, a         technical firm or a creative space. For example, you can           combine 3D printing and laser cutting. And after that, you get           perfect for production needs and highly customized products.                with Mazak parts and                                          This Article Post is Originally Posted here:  https://www.sooperarticles.com/automotive-articles/lets- discover-behind-scenes-laser-cutters-1745948.html  www.altparts.com
