Application of laser motion control system in different industries

The motion control system is equivalent to the brain of the laser equipment, which coordinates the various components of the equipment to work together and directs the laser to accurately focus and move quickly, which is the key to the effective completion of the task of the entire laser processing. Motion control system in different industries, different fields also have different requirements, next for you to briefly introduce the application of laser in several common industries.

1, advertising decoration industry

Laser in the advertising decoration industry has been widely used, a large number of billboards and decorations are made by laser processing, the materials used include wood, plywood, acrylic sheet, galvanized copper plate, etc., these are laser processing easy to deal with the material, manufacturing speed, production effect is good, deeply sought after by both sides of the advertising transaction.

However, despite all the benefits, laser processing also needs to pay attention to places. For example, wood processing, softwood and hardwood parameters are completely different, if there is not enough power to process hardwood, it is likely to lead to laser processing time is too long, leaving burn marks on the hardwood material, serious may lead to combustion. Before processing unfamiliar materials, it is best to set the correct parameters on the control system.

2, clothing and footwear industry

Laser processing in cloth leather and other materials efficient, since the beginning of the 21st century, laser processing has begun to replace traditional processing methods, gradually widely used. Although laser processing is a thermal processing method, the highly focused laser irradiation area is thin and the heat affected area is small, so the processed fabric incision is smooth and without deformation.

Another advantage of laser processing is that the response speed is fast, the automation adaptability is strong, with the cooperation of the computer and the laser motion control system, the designer can quickly draw out the sample, so as to adjust the original design flexibly and quickly through the observation of the finished product, the adjusted design can also be quickly put into production.

3, packaging and printing industry

In the packaging and printing industry, laser marking is one of the most widely used processing technologies. Laser marking is the use of high energy density laser to locally irradiate the workpiece, so that the surface of the material vaporizes or chemical reactions occur, thereby leaving a permanent mark. Laser marking solves the problems of traditional ink marking "easy to erase, easy to fake, easy to fade", and has the characteristics of high precision, fast speed, clear marking and environmental protection and no pollution.

In addition to marking, laser also has many applications in packaging processing, such as a variety of food packaging on the market that is torn open, is the use of laser in the marking line position for marking cutting, although the processed material looks intact, but a pressure will let the material along the processing slot disconnected.
