What are the advantages of laser processing robots?

2019-03-25

Laser processing robots are generally used in cutting, drilling, and similar industries. Industrial robots are a key symbol of the modern industrial era. Their emergence has significantly reduced risks in the production process, freed human hands from repetitive tasks, and brought higher efficiency to enterprises.

What are the advantages of laser processing robots? Laser robots do not require any tools for processing, operate at high speed, and can process virtually any material.
1. The laser head does not contact the workpiece, so there is no tool wear issue;
2. Capable of processing moving objects or materials sealed within glass enclosures;
3. Laser beams can have divergence angles less than 1 milliradian, spot diameters in the micron range, and pulse durations in nanoseconds or picoseconds. Meanwhile, high-power lasers can output continuously from kilowatts to tens of kilowatts, making lasers suitable for both precision micro-processing and large-scale material processing;
4. High laser power density enables rapid heating, melting, or vaporization of materials. Even those with high melting points, hardness, or brittleness (such as ceramics or diamonds) can be processed;
5. The workpiece is not subject to mechanical stress and is less prone to contamination;
6. Laser beams are easy to control and integrate with precision machinery, measurement technologies, and computers, enabling high automation and high processing precision;
7. In harsh environments or areas that are difficult for humans to reach, robots can be used for laser processing.
