42 results about "Laser beam machining" patented technology

Laser beam machining (LBM) is a non conventional Machining manufacturing process, a form of machining, in which a laser is directed towards the work piece for machining. This process uses thermal energy to remove material from metallic or nonmetallic surfaces. The high frequency of monochromatic light will fall on the surface then heating, melting and vaporizing of the material take place due to impinge of photons. Laser beam machining is best suited for brittle materials with low conductivity, but can be used on most materials.

The positive lens group uses multiple low-power positive lenses arranged at intervals to gradually converge the beam. The lenses are made of materials with a low coefficient of thermal expansion to suppress thermal deformation and focus drift. An air buffer layer is placed between adjacent lenses to block heat conduction and disperse reflected light. The coupling component is located below, receiving the converged beam and coupling it with a high-pressure water jet.
