Laser cutting robot is an industrial cutting robot that uses a focusing mirror to focus the CO2 laser beam on the surface of the material to melt the material, and at the same time uses the compressed gas coaxial with the laser beam to blow away the melted material, and makes the laser beam and the material move relative to each other along a certain trajectory, thus forming a certain shape slit. Laser cutting technology is widely used in the processing of metal and non-metallic materials, which can greatly reduce the processing time, reduce the processing cost, and improve the quality of the workpiece.
The traditional cutting technology process is more complex, not only needs to draw, measurement preparation, the edge after cutting also needs to be polished, and the laser cutting robot cuts the workpiece fast, the edge is neat, saves a lot of tedious processes, and is favored by the manufacturing industry.
The working principle of laser cutting robot
Cutting robot is the laser emitted from the laser, through the optical path system, focusing into a high power density laser beam. The laser beam shines on the surface of the workpiece, so that the workpiece reaches the melting point or boiling point, while the high-pressure gas coaxial with the beam blows away the melted or vaporized metal.
Cutting robot processing is to replace the traditional mechanical knife with an invisible beam, with high precision, fast cutting, not limited to the cutting pattern restrictions, automatic typesetting to save materials, smooth incision, low processing costs, will gradually improve or replace the traditional metal cutting process equipment.
The mechanical part of the laser head has no contact with the workpiece, and will not cause scratches to the surface of the workpiece during work; The cutting robot is fast, the incision is smooth and smooth, and generally no subsequent processing is required. The cutting heat affected zone is small, the sheet deformation is small, and the cutting seam is narrow (0.1mm~0.3mm). The incision has no mechanical stress, no shear burrs; High machining precision, good repeatability, no damage to the surface of the material; CNC programming, can be processed any plane plan, can be a large format of the whole board cutting, no need to open mold, economy and time saving.
Since the 1970s, with the continuous improvement and development of CO2 laser and numerical control technology, it has become an advanced processing method for industrial plate cutting. Cutting robots are often used in industrial production. According to the different functions and working principles of robots, cutting robots are divided into flame cutting robots, plasma cutting robots, laser cutting robots, water cutting robots, etc. Among many cutting robots, laser cutting robots have the highest efficiency, and the cutting accuracy is unmatched by other cutting robots.
