How does CO₂ laser cutting machine work?

The CO₂ laser cutting machine is one of the earliest gas lasers, developed by Kumar Patel in 1964. With high power and levels of control, CO₂ laser cutting machine can be available for places, where requires precision, mass processing, and personalization. It is achieved using a gas laser.

How does CO₂ laser cutting machine work?

In aCO₂ laser cutting machine, light is produced when electricity runs through a gas-filled tube with mirrors at both ends. The discharge tube of the CO₂ laser cutting machine is filled with mixed gases such as CO₂, N₂, and He.

There are three different forms of motion for any molecule. One is the movement of electrons in the molecule, which determines the electronic energy state. The second is the atoms vibrate periodically around their equilibrium position, which determines the vibrational energy of the molecule. The third is the rotation of the molecule, which determines the rotational energy state of the molecule.

The CO₂ laser cutting machine uses the transition between the vibration and the rotation energy level of the CO₂ molecule to generate laser light.

What are the advantages of CO₂ laser cutting machine?

l The CO₂ laser cutting machine doesn’t physically touch the material it is working with. Instead, it causes the material to melt through intense heat, causing minimal damage to the material and the machine.

l CO₂ laser cutting machines have low maintenance costs, which only need inexpensive replacement parts.

l CO₂ laser cutting machine is much safer than others since it does not use a blade. The beam is sealed in a tight lightbox.

l CO₂ laser cutting machine produces highly accurate and precise cuttings that have clean cuts and a smooth finish.

l CO₂ laser cutting machine provide one of the most advantageous forms of cutting available today.

l The quality of CO₂ laser cutting machine is good. The imported metal is used to seal off the CO₂ laser.

What are the applications of CO₂ laser cutting machine?

The CO₂ laser cutting machine can be used not only in the mobile phone film industry, but also in communication, consumer, computing, connecting, cloud and other industries. CO₂ laser cutting machine of non-metallic materials such as PC film, PET film, PP film and leather are suitable for laser precision cutting in the fields of screen protector, acrylic board, OCA optical glue, PET display panel, touch screen, FPC, PCB, electronic paper, and polarizer.

Take garment industry as an example. CO₂ laser cutting machine is now universally used in garment industry.

Pattern cutting belongs to application of conventional cutting equipment. CO₂ laser cutting machine matches CAD software and then forms a garment pattern.

The common mode of fabric cutting generally choose blade and laser cutting. CO₂ laser cutting machine is popular though it has requirements for the thickness of the fabric.

Clothing template is a new technology application. Using CO₂ laser cutting machine for the template cutting not only greatly shortens the production time clothing template, but also enhance the quality of the template.
