Laser processing is the most common application for laser systems. According to the interaction mechanism between laser beam and material, laser processing can be roughly divided into two categories: laser thermal processing and photochemical reaction processing. Laser thermal processing refers to the use of the thermal effect generated by laser beams projected onto the material surface to complete the processing process, including laser welding, laser cutting, surface modification, laser marking, laser drilling and micro-machining, etc.; photochemical reaction processing refers to laser beam A processing process that irradiates an object and uses high-density and high-energy photons to initiate or control photochemical reactions. Including photochemical deposition, stereolithography, laser etching, etc.

Because laser has four characteristics: high brightness, high directionality, high monochromaticity and high coherence, it brings some characteristics to laser processing that other processing methods do not have. Because it is non-contact processing, there is no direct impact on the workpiece, so there is no mechanical deformation; there is no "tool" wear and no "cutting force" acting on the workpiece during laser processing; during laser processing, the laser beam energy density is high and the processing speed is high. It is fast, and it is local processing, with no or minimal impact on non-laser irradiated parts. Therefore, its heat-affected area is small, and the thermal deformation of the workpiece is small and subsequent processing is minimal; because the laser beam is easy to guide, focus, and change direction, it is easy to cooperate with the CNC system to process complex workpieces, so it is an extremely flexible processing method. ; High production efficiency, stable and reliable processing quality, and good economic and social benefits.

As an advanced manufacturing technology, laser processing has been widely used in important sectors of the national economy such as footwear, leather goods, electronics, paper products, electrical appliances, plastics, aviation, metallurgy, and packaging machinery manufacturing. It is important for improving product quality, labor Productivity, automation, pollution-free, reduction of material consumption, etc. play an increasingly important role. Specific applications are as follows:

1. Shoe industry: leather shoes, sandals, casual shoes, sports shoes, women's shoes, men's shoes, children's shoes, footwear of various materials.

2. Leather goods leather industry: handbags, purses, belts, handles, belt buckles and other leather goods.

3. Clothing and fabric industry: clothing, zippers, buttons, fabrics, etc.

4. Bamboo and wood crafts industry: bamboo and wood crafts, photo frames, tags, wooden boxes, furniture, etc.

5. Craft jewelry industry: pens, pen cases, business cards, gold and silver jewelry, signs, name badges, photos, certificates, collectors, artwork, plaques, etc.

6. Paper products industry: various greeting cards, hang tags, paper handicrafts.

7. Plexiglas industry: DVD, VCD, power amplifier, mobile phone and other electrical panels, shape cutting and pattern engraving of various acrylic crafts.

8. Electronic plastic industry: character and pattern engraving on keyboards, electronic components, home appliance panels, computer panels, etc.

9. Packaging bottle cap industry: metal bottle caps, cans, etc.

10. Hardware electroplating industry: tools, measuring tools, cutting tools, molds, sanitary ware, tableware, knives, scissors, stainless steel products and other types of hardware.
