How Does A Laser Cutting Machine Work?
Laser cutting machine is a type of automatic laser system with CNC controller. Which adopts CO2 or FIBER laser beam to cut metals (steel, copper, brass, aluminum, gold, silver, alloy, iron), acrylic, rubber, wood, plastic, leather, paper, foam, textile, fabric into 2D/3D shapes and profiles. A laser is a highly concentrated beam of light of a single wavelength. At each wavelength of light, various materials absorb, reflect and transmit that light in varying amounts. What is the laser beam A laser beam is a very high intensity beam of light with only one wavelength, or one color. In the case of a typical CO2 laser, that wavelength is in the infrared part of the spectrum, so it is invisible to the human eye. As the beam travels from the laser resonator that generates the beam through the beam path of the laser cutter. It is only about 3/4 of an inch in diameter. It may be bounced in a different direction by some mirrors or "beam benders" before it is finally focused on the p...
