The invention discloses a
laser processing method and
system assisted by a
water jet and a gas jet. According to the
laser processing method, a
laser beam is focused on the surface of a workpiece; a gas jet beam of which the
diameter is greater than that of the focus point of the laser beam is coaxial with the laser beam; after the gas jet beam enters a
cut slot, a
water jet beam behind the gas jet beam also enters the
cut slot. The center line of the
water jet beam is in a plane formed by the center line of the laser beam and the
cut slot; the intersection point of the center line of the water jet beam and the surface of the workpiece is 1-2 mm from the focus point of the laser beam. The
system comprises a laser generating mechanism, a gas jet
nozzle and a
workbench, wherein the longitudinal center line of the jet hole of a water jet
nozzle behind the gas jet
nozzle is in the plane formed by the center line of the laser beam and the cut slot; a gas pump and a water pump are respectively connected with the gas jet nozzle and the water jet nozzle; water circulates through the water pump, the water jet nozzle, a working cavity above the
workbench and a water tank. According to the invention, the water jet beam restrains
gas expansion, reduces the
heat effect of laser, takes away deposits, and improves the efficiency and quality of
laser ablation, so that the invention achieves remarkable effects particularly in
processing plates with thicknesses above 15 mm.
