Laser cutting robot has the characteristics of high cutting precision, fast cutting speed, narrow cutting seam, high cutting quality, good flexibility, high flexibility and stable performance.
Laser cutting robot is the product of combining laser cutting technology with robot technology. Laser cutting is to gather high power density laser beam into a very small light point. The heat is highly concentrated to achieve rapid local heating of the workpiece, thus causing kerf. The cutting is completed by moving the laser beam. Combined with robot technology, the flexibility of laser cutting is greatly enhanced, which can realize flexible cutting in multiple directions and angles. Laser cutting robot is mainly composed of laser, locator, controller, arm, end effector, etc.
The laser of laser cutting robot can use fiber laser, CO2 laser, YAG laser, etc. Laser cutting robot has the characteristics of high cutting precision, fast cutting speed, narrow cutting seam, high cutting quality, good flexibility, high flexibility and stable performance. Compared with traditional cutting technology, laser cutting robot has outstanding advantages in precision, speed, quality, degree of freedom, and can meet the needs of automatic production. It is widely used in electronics, household appliances, machinery, automobiles, agricultural machinery, ships, aerospace and other fields.
The automobile industry is an important downstream market for laser cutting robots. In the process of automobile production, cutting processes are required for various parts manufacturing, such as body, door, exhaust pipe, etc. After the traditional cutting equipment finishes cutting, the cutting surface is uneven, there are problems such as corners or burrs, and the cutting accuracy is limited, which requires secondary treatment. Besides, the cutting equipment relies on manual operation, so the cutting speed is slow, and errors are easy to occur. The laser cutting robot can well avoid the above problems and meet the needs of high-end and automation development of the automobile industry.
According to the 2022-2027 China Laser Cutting Robot Industry Market Deep Research and Development Prospect Forecast Report released by the New Thinking Industry Research Center, the global laser cutting robot market size will be about 88.77 million dollars in 2021. It is estimated that the market size will continue to grow rapidly at a compound annual growth rate of about 14.3% from 2022-2027, and will reach 198.2 million dollars by 2027. Globally, the Asia Pacific region is the largest market for laser cutting robots, accounting for more than 50% of the demand. This is mainly due to the accelerated transformation and upgrading of manufacturing in emerging economic systems in the region, represented by China.
China is the largest automobile manufacturer in the world. In recent years, China's demographic dividend has gradually subsided, and the human cost has been rising. The traditional cutting equipment relies on manual operation, which increases the operating cost of the enterprise, and it is difficult to significantly improve the cutting accuracy and speed. At the same time, the traditional cutting equipment can not meet the requirements of the automatic development of the automobile production line. In addition to the automobile industry, the demand for high-end production equipment in electronics, household appliances, machinery and other industries is also growing rapidly in response to the strategic call of "Made in China 2025". In this context, the market space of laser cutting robots in China is growing.
According to industry analysts of New Thinkzone, in the global market, laser cutting robot manufacturers mainly include ABB of Switzerland, Steuber of Switzerland, Yaskawa Electric Co., Ltd. of Japan, Fanuc of Japan, Kawasaki Heavy Industry of Japan, Nazhi Bueryue of Japan, Yoo Robot of Denmark, Coherent of the United States, IPG Photonics of the United States, Midwest Engineered of the United States, Jenopik of Germany, Tongkuai of Germany, VECTOR of Germany, Han's Laser of China, etc.
