The technology of using a laser beam for processing metals and alloys (cutting, engraving, piercing holes or cavities) has become the most widespread. The plasmatron operating due to vibrating transitions of carbon dioxide (CO2) molecules is quite popular. The resulting radiation with a wavelength of 9.4 to 10.6 microns belongs to the category of infrared long-wave pulse. The radiation, in turn, is focused into a beam and directed to the treated surface area using special accessories:
- Optical CO2 laser lenses used for focusing - additionally used to adjust the thickness of the beam itself. It is with their help that the operator can perform cuts or engraving of parts, even with a complex configuration, as well as with rounding especially accurately. The path of the beam is often controlled by the CNC software.
- Mirrors for CO2 laser - allow you to perform additional focusing of the beam with a special more precise adjustment of the direction of its impact on the surface of the workpiece.
- Protective glasses - have a special coating that allows you to compensate for thermal effects during intensive or prolonged operation of the equipment.
From the quality of the listed components completely depends on the efficiency of CO2 laser equipment as a whole. These parts are subject to regular cleaning and replacement at the slightest appearance of defects.
