Optical module for laser cutting
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of laser cutting, in particular to an optical module for laser cutting.
Background
Laser processing is widely used in various industries as a novel material processing technology. The laser cutting has the characteristics of narrow cutting seam and low roughness and small heat affected zone, and is used in the cutting field mainly for processing metal materials. The water-guided laser cutting is to couple a laser beam into a very fine water column through a certain coupling device, and guide the laser to reach a cutting area through the fine water column. Because the water column has fluidity, the heat and the slag generated by cutting can be taken away at any time, the cut is flat and has no splashing, and the method has wide application prospect.
The water guide cutting speed is usually only one dozen times of that of the conventional light adjusting lens, and when precision components are cut in large batch, the cutting head moves back and forth due to the fact that only one laser column is arranged, so that a large amount of time is consumed, and popularization in actual production is not facilitated; and the cutting module can absorb laser energy and lead to the module to generate heat at the in-process of absorption and processing laser, and conventional air-cooled heat dissipation can not directly be to the lens heat dissipation, and the radiating effect is poor, because the material is heated and is out of shape when using for a long time, influences cutting accuracy. Therefore, it is necessary to design an optical module for laser cutting with high cutting efficiency.
