In the process of China's rapid economic development, the development of the industrial field is very obvious. With the overall economic development, the importance of processing technology in the industrial field is gradually reflected. As a new metal processing technology, laser cutting plays a positive role in promoting the economic development in the industrial field.

The application of laser cutting technology not only improves the working efficiency of processing, but also improves the accuracy of products. Laser cutting is a very widely used technology. In the processing field, about 73% of processing operations need to be completed by laser cutting technology.

Compared with traditional cutting, laser cutting technology has the advantages of high precision, strong adaptability, low noise, good cutting quality, and has been widely used. At the same time, for some complex processing operations completed with large abrasive tools, the application of laser cutting technology not only does not require the application of abrasive tools, but also can ensure the cutting quality. In the process of reducing production costs, the production efficiency is improved. Therefore, laser cutting technology is widely used in automobile manufacturing, aviation and light industry. In recent years, with the development of China's processing industry, laser cutting technology has made rapid development in application.

With the wide application of machining and cutting technology, the development speed of laser cutting machine is further accelerated. The development of laser cutting technology can make this technology more advanced in the application process. From the current development, laser cutting technology is developing into high-speed and high-precision cutting technology in the following directions.

In fact, the global manufacturing industry is showing a trend towards refinement, intelligence and customization. Laser technology applied in the field of micro machining is one of the key supporting technologies for the development of high-end precision manufacturing. Since the CPA technology was proposed, it has effectively solved the problem of damage to gain medium and optical components caused by ultrafast laser with ultrahigh peak power density, broken through the bottleneck of ultrafast laser development, and entered a new stage in the research, development and application of ultrafast laser. Today, ultrafast laser, with its characteristics of ultra-high processing accuracy, high focusing ability and "cold processing", can effectively solve the technical problems faced in the micro processing process, break the limitations of traditional laser processing technology, and create a new field of ultra-fine materials, low damage and 3D space processing and processing. Laser processing technology is used in new energy, information technology, biomedical, new materials, consumer electronics Applications in aerospace and other fields are increasing, including precision cutting, drilling, welding, surface modification, internal modification, finishing and cleaning, additive manufacturing and other processes. The increasing micro processing application scenarios and demands are driving the continuous innovation and breakthrough of laser technology to develop towards shorter wavelength, narrower pulse width, higher power, more stable and reliable, and longer service life, so as to meet the deep integration of laser fine processing and various application scenarios.

At present, China's processing and cutting technology is still lagging behind. In view of this situation, China's current machining and cutting technology is gradually developing towards high-speed and high-precision. At present, the beam mode of high-power laser has been improved, and the related application of microcomputer makes it possible to produce high-precision, high-speed machining and cutting equipment. At present, the speed of laser cutting technology applied in China has exceeded 20m/min, the moving speed of two axes of the cutting machine can reach 250m/min, and the acceleration during operation can reach about 10G. On a 1 mm thick plate, approximately 500 holes, approximately 10 mm holes, can be cut per minute.

It can be seen that laser cutting technology has actually started to develop towards high-speed and high-precision in practical applications. Metal laser cutting technology is applied to thick plate cutting and large size workpiece cutting. In actual operation, it can be found that the power of laser cutting equipment used in actual operation is gradually increasing, and laser cutting is also developing from light industrial thin plate cutting to heavy industrial thick plate cutting.

The thickness of carbon steel plates that can be cut by high-power 20KW laser reaches 100mm. In the process of continuous improvement of cutting technology, China has been trying, and 6KW laser has been gradually applied to cut 25mm carbon steel plates. And the project operation has started. In addition, the size range of workpieces used in laser cutting technology is increasing.

It can be seen from the actual cutting process that laser cutting technology has begun to develop towards thick plates and large sizes, which has promoted the design of laser cutting equipment in this direction, thus further improving industrial processing technology After China's accession to the World Trade Organization, frequent international exchanges have promoted various industries to gradually join the ranks of international competition. In this process, automobile, aviation and other industries need to constantly apply laser cutting technology in the development process. However, China has also applied three-dimensional five axis laser cutting technology.

It is used for processing operation. The application of 3D laser cutting machine in actual operation helps the laser cutting technology to develop in a more accurate direction. The economic development of 3D laser cutting promotes the maturity of processing technology. As a processing technology, it is necessary and urgent for laser cutting technology to develop towards automation and unmanned. With the continuous improvement of intelligence and automation level, laser processing not only improves the quality of production, but also relieves the workers' complex labor, which can well meet the requirements of large-scale batch production in modern manufacturing industry. Compared with traditional processing methods, the use of laser equipment with a higher level of automation and intelligence can produce huge cost benefits. It has the characteristics of occupying less space, facilitating the optimization of production layout, saving production space and costs, etc. In many cases, laser equipment with a higher level of automation and intelligence can reduce one or more high cost manufacturing processes, thereby improving production efficiency.

At the same time, the application of computer network technology makes automatic and unmanned laser cutting technology possible. At present, many developed countries have produced many laser cutting machines of this type, and the market demand for this technology is growing, which makes the laser cutting technology gradually realize automation and unmanned.
