(4) Integrated cutting equipment

In the integrated cutting device, the laser is mounted on the frame and moved longitudinally in the frame, and the torch is integrated with the driving mechanism to move laterally on the frame beam, and the various molding parts can be cut by the numerical control method. In order to compensate for the lateral movement of the torch to change the length of the optical path, it is usually provided with an adjustment of the optical path length, which can obtain a homogeneous beam within the cutting area and maintain the homogeneity of the quality of the cutting surface.

The integrated cutting device generally uses a high-power laser, which is suitable for the cutting process of large-size steel structural parts of medium and heavy plates (8-35mm). Table 5 lists the processing capabilities of the integrated laser cutting equipment. The main technical parameters of LMX integrated laser cutting equipment are shown in Table 6.

(5) Laser cutting robot

The laser cutting robot has a CO 2 gas laser and a YAG solid laser cutting robot. Laser cutting robots are usually used for both cutting and welding.

1) CO 2 laser cutting robot

A schematic diagram of the structure of the L-1000 CO 2 laser cutting robot is shown in Figure 11.

The L-1000 CO 2 laser cutting robot is a polar coordinate 5-axis control robot equipped with a C1000 to C3000 laser. The light beam is transmitted through four mirrors disposed in the robot arm, and is focused and then ejected from the nozzle. The mirror is made of copper, and the surface is subjected to reflection treatment so that the beam transmission loss does not exceed 0.8%, and the positional accuracy of the focus is quite good. In order to prevent the mirror from being stained, the optical path is completely out of contact with the outside, and the cleaned air filtered by the filter is also filled in the optical path and has a certain pressure to prevent the surrounding dust from entering.

The main technical parameters of the L-1000 CO 2 laser cutting robot are shown in Table 7.

2) YAG solid laser cutting robot

The structure of the multi-joint YAG laser cutting robot developed in Japan is shown in Fig. 12.

The multi-joint YAG laser cutting robot uses optical fibers to directly transmit the beam from the laser to the torch mounted on the robot arm, so it is more flexible than the CO2 gas laser cutting robot. This kind of robot is made up of the original welding robot. It adopts the teaching method and is suitable for the trimming, punching and cutting of three-dimensional metal parts such as car body moldings.
