Overview of laser cutting technology
Laser cutting technology is the main application of laser technology in industry, and it has become the most used laser processing method in the current industrial processing field, which can account for more than 70% of the entire laser processing industry. Flyover Laser will systematically describe the principle, process and application of laser cutting.

Characteristics of laser cutting technology
Laser cutting is the use of focused high power density laser beam irradiate the workpiece, in excess of the laser national value of the laser power density under the premise, the laser beam energy and active gas assisted cutting process additional, chemical reaction heat energy is absorbed by the material, resulting in a sharp rise in the temperature of the laser point, reaching the boiling point of the material began to vaporize, and formed holes. With the relative motion of the beam and the workpiece, the material eventually forms a slit, and the slag at the slit is blown off by a certain auxiliary gas.
Laser cutting has been widely used in modern industry with its advantages of wide cutting range, high cutting speed, narrow cutting slit, good cutting quality, small heat-affected zone and large processing flexibility. Laser cutting technology has also become one of the most mature technologies in laser processing technology.
Application of laser cutting technology
Laser cutting can be divided into vaporization cutting, melting cutting, oxygen-assisted melting cutting and controlled fracture cutting, of which oxygen-assisted melting cutting is the most widely used. According to the cutting material can be divided into metal laser cutting and non-metal laser cutting:
From the perspective of industrial applications, metal and non-metal laser cutting is the most important application field of laser processing, the most representative application is in the automotive industry, from the laser welding of the bottom plate of the car, the laser welding of the ceiling, the laser cutting of the three-dimensional outline of the body covering to the laser hardening of the steering parts of the car, there are a large number of applications. It is estimated that about 60% of auto parts can be improved by laser processing. There is no "tool" wear during laser cutting. There is no "cutting force" acting on the workpiece. The cutting efficiency of laser cutting plate can be increased by 8 to 20 times, saving materials by 15% to 30%, which can greatly reduce production costs, and high processing precision and reliable product quality. The United States, Europe and Japan and other industrial developed countries and regions of laser processing has formed a new high-tech industry, industrial lasers and laser processing machine sales are increasing year by year, the scale of the application field continues to expand.

Japan is the first country to introduce the laser cutting processing system into the automobile production, mainly used in the blanking of large coverings, laser cutting of windshields and so on. Ford and General Motors of the United States and Toyota, Nissan and other automobile companies in Japan generally use laser cutting technology in automobile production lines. It does not have to use various specifications of metal molds, in addition to quickly and easily cut a variety of different shapes of billets, but also used to cut a large number of parts that need to be changed due to different specifications, such as car sign lights, frames, decorative lines on both sides of the body. The door of a truck manufactured by General Motors has 20 kinds of holes ranging in diameter from 2.8 to 39mm. The company's 500W Rofin-Sinar laser is connected via fiber to a welding head mounted on a mechanical hand to cut these holes, and the door opening process is completed in 1 minute. The edge of the hole is smooth and the back is flat. The tolerance of 2.8mm hole is ±0.03-0.08mm; The tolerance of 12 mm holes is ±0.25-0.03mm. The company's trucks and buses are made of 89 different bore and hole configuration chassis, optimized design, now only need to punch 5 different chassis, laser cut out the different configuration of the hole. The process is simplified, the efficiency is improved, and the cost is reduced. Relatively speaking, Japan's research in laser processing technology is at the forefront of the world, and has integrated steel plate cutting, welding and die forming in the door manufacturing process, and has made great progress.

Three-dimensional laser cutting technology, because of its own flexible processing and quality assurance characteristics. In the 1980s, it began to be used in automobile body manufacturing. When cutting, only a straight support block is needed to support the workpiece, so the production of the fixture is not only low cost but also fast. Thanks to the combination with CAD/CAM technology, the cutting process is easy to control, enabling continuous production and parallel processing, thus achieving efficient cutting production. Compared with CO₂ laser, YAG laser can be transmitted through optical fiber, more flexible and convenient, suitable for robot hand laser "nozzle" with program control for precise operation, so most of the three-dimensional cutting using YAG laser. 3D laser cutting is also very useful in the processing of the body after assembly, such as opening the luggage rack fixing hole, the top cover slide rail hole, the antenna mounting hole, and the modification of the wheel fender shape. In the trial production of new cars, 3D laser cutting is used for cutting contour and correction, which not only shorths the trial production cycle but also saves the mold, fully embodies the advantages of laser cutting processing.
