At present, China's low-end power laser processing control system has been replaced by imports. Enterprises such as Bachu Electronics and Golden Orange have a high market share in the servo control and galvanometer control fields. The industry has entered a relatively mature stage of steady and small growth. The growth points of laser processing control system in the future will mainly come from the following aspects:
1. Update of stock market
With the popularization of laser processing technology, the application scenarios are constantly enriched, the industry is developing rapidly, and the requirements for laser processing control technology are getting higher and higher, thus promoting the demand of laser processing equipment manufacturers for technology and product updates and iterations; On the other hand, the laser processing equipment is aging due to its long use. The laser, laser head and laser processing control system need to be updated and iterated regularly to meet the requirements of increasing laser processing accuracy, speed and efficiency.
2. The demand for replacing traditional processing by laser processing
Although laser processing has become increasingly popular, there are still many downstream industries using traditional processing methods. Take laser cutting as an example. At present, contact machine tool cutting, water jet cutting, plasma flame cutting and other cutting methods still widely exist. These methods have shortcomings such as poor accuracy, low efficiency, high energy consumption, high equipment maintenance cost, and inability to process complex graphics. With the overall development of the laser industry, the price of laser cutting equipment has gradually decreased and has gradually been accepted by more small and medium-sized downstream customers. Therefore, in view of the advantages of laser cutting compared with traditional cutting methods, such as high precision, fast speed, high efficiency, etc., in the future, there will continue to be market demand for some traditional processing methods to be replaced by laser processing methods in the downstream market.
3. The development of emerging economies continues to increase the demand for application scenarios for laser processing
With the development of flexible manufacturing, ultra fast laser high-precision machining, high-power welding, cleaning and other processing technologies, as well as the development of other emerging industries, new application scenarios and new processing needs will continue to increase. For example, in recent two years, 3C (computer, communication and consumer electronics) applications have driven the rapid development of nanosecond ultraviolet lasers and ultrafast lasers, mainly including new energy material processing, brittle thin material processing, semiconductor manufacturing and other fields, becoming the most prominent growth point in the laser market in recent years.
