Laser beam process

The laser beam process has developed into an important tool in surface technology, enabling a wide range of applications. Through the targeted application of high-energy laser beams to the surface of a material, various effects can be achieved, including cutting, welding, marking and surface modification.

The laser beam process offers a number of advantages in the processing of surfaces. It enables precise and controlled material removal, which is particularly important for the production of fine structures or the removal of surface contaminants. In addition, the laser beam can be used specifically to modify surface properties such as hardness, texture or roughness, resulting in improved mechanical, optical or chemical properties.

Another important aspect of the laser beam process in surface technology is its flexibility and versatility. By selecting suitable parameters such as energy, focus and pulse frequency, the process can be adapted to the specific requirements of different materials and applications. This enables precise control over the machining process and leads to consistent results.

In addition, the laser beam process in surface technology offers a non-contact processing method, which is particularly advantageous for sensitive materials or complex geometries. This prevents damage and achieves a high surface quality. Overall, the laser beam process is a powerful tool in surface technology that enables precise, versatile and efficient processing of surfaces. Due to its ability to process different materials and achieve a wide range of effects, it contributes significantly to the manufacture of products with demanding surface requirements.
