With the recovery of the global economy, investment in manufacturing has accelerated significantly, and the prosperity of industries such as laser equipment and industrial automation has continued to improve. Laser processing technology has gradually replaced traditional processing methods with its advantages of fast speed, high precision and good processing quality, and has become one of the high-tech technologies that the country focuses on supporting and promoting. With the accelerated advancement of intelligent manufacturing and the continuous development of technology, the depth and breadth of downstream applications of laser processing technology will be further expanded.
1. Laser technology has become one of the core technologies in the era of intelligent industry with its advantages of high energy density, good directionality, high electro-optical efficiency and strong controllability
Laser technology is an important basic technology in the field of modern high technology, with the characteristics of high intensity, good monochromaticity, good coherence and good directionality. Laser technology is widely used in two major scenarios. One is energy laser, that is, laser is used in material processing, weapons, medical and other fields with its extremely high energy density; the other is information laser, that is, laser is used for information transmission (optical communication) and distance measurement (optical measurement) due to its monochromaticity and good directionality. Compared with traditional electrical communication, optical communication has the advantages of large capacity, long distance, good confidentiality and light weight.
Among them, in the field of energy laser application, laser has good spatial controllability and time controllability, and the range of processable materials, shapes, sizes, and processing environments is relatively large. Therefore, laser is highly suitable for automated precision processing, especially laser processing systems can be combined with computer numerical control technology to build high-end automated intelligent processing equipment. Under the current strategic background of Made in China 2025, one of the important directions for the transformation and upgrading of traditional industrial manufacturing is to achieve a transformation to high-end precision processing with higher added value and higher technical barriers while improving efficiency.
Therefore, processing equipment with laser technology as the core is becoming an important carrier for my country's manufacturing industry to achieve intelligent manufacturing transformation and upgrading together with high-end equipment such as industrial robots, high-end machine tools, semiconductors, aerospace, etc.
2. The multiple advantages of laser processing technology conform to the general trend of intelligent manufacturing and precision manufacturing, and are rapidly replacing traditional processing technology
Compared with traditional processing methods, laser processing has the advantages of high efficiency, high precision, low energy consumption, small material deformation, and easy control. It conforms more to the general trend of intelligent manufacturing and precision manufacturing, and quickly penetrates into the traditional manufacturing industry, greatly improving the production efficiency of traditional industries.
