The data shows that the global laser processing equipment market size has increased from US $12.6 billion in 2016 to US $17.4 billion in 2020, with a compound annual growth rate of 8.4%. China Commercial Industry Research Institute predicts that the global laser processing equipment market will reach 21.2 billion dollars in 2022.
Future development trend
1. The penetration rate of laser processing continues to increase
As an advanced processing technology, compared with traditional mechanical processing, laser processing has the characteristics of high processing accuracy, fast processing speed and small surface deformation, and can be deeply integrated with automatic control technology to achieve automation and intelligence in the production process. In addition, the laser processing process has no tool wear, low noise, and is environmentally friendly, which conforms to the green development trend of manufacturing technology. At present, laser processing solutions have become an important technical direction in the field of intelligent manufacturing. Under the general environment of the gradual popularization of intelligent manufacturing and the increasingly tightening of environmental protection policies, laser processing equipment is gradually replacing traditional mechanical processing equipment. The trend from "machining" to "optical processing" is obvious.
2. The laser processing equipment presents the trend of integration and intelligence
As an advanced processing technology, laser processing is easy to combine with precision machinery, precision measurement technology and electronic computers. It can be automatically integrated with industrial robots to achieve a high degree of automation and intelligence of precision processing, thus greatly improving processing efficiency. With the increasingly mature concept of intelligent manufacturing, laser processing equipment has gradually transformed from a single processing equipment to an automatic production line with laser processing as the core and other functional components integrated, and combined with machine vision, online detection and other technologies to achieve intelligent production, that is, laser processing equipment has shown a trend of integration and intelligence.
