Development of CO2 laser power supply
Development of CO2 laser power supply
CO2 laser power supply accompanied with the development of CO2 laser, the initial application in the 1970s, and later with the progress of technology, the application field continues to expand. At present, CO2 laser power supplies are roughly divided into high power crossflow CO2 laser power supply, acousto-optically tuned CO2 laser power supply, radiofrequency excitation waveguide CO2 laser power supply, portable CO2 laser power supply, high power continuous CO2 laser power supply.
In addition to the classification, the laser power supply manufacturers will be divided into different categories according to the composition and application of the power supply, such as the source of laser laser laser laser power is divided into: CO2 laser cutting engraving power supply and CO2 laser marking embroidery seal power supply, there are subdivisions under the jurisdiction of the types.
CO2 laser cutting and engraving power supply: laser bag opening machine, half cut special, Z series, T series, W series, C series, L series, enhanced, portable, axial fast flow CO2 laser power supply, etc.
CO2 laser marking embroidery seal power supply: marking code special, embroidery special, seal special, mini engraving machine voltage regulator, M series mini, X series embroidery special CO2 laser power supply.
CO2 laser appeared in the mid-1970s, the power was only 500W at first, and reached 5000W in the 1990s. The early CO2 laser oriented laser power was developed in the direction of increasing, but when the laser power reached a certain requirement, the laser beam quality was paid attention to, and the development of laser was then transferred to improving the beam quality. The diffusion-cooled slatted CO2 laser, which is close to the diffraction limit, has better beam quality, and has been widely used since its launch, especially in the field of laser cutting, and is favored by many enterprises.
The corresponding CO2 also changes with the demand of laser, into different forms. According to the output mode, there are continuous output, pulse output, Q switch output. According to the work of resonant cavity, it can be divided into waveguide cavity and free space cavity. It can be divided into single phase and reverse phase according to motivation enthusiasm. According to the cavity structure, it can be divided into single cavity, multi-cavity and large area flat plate type, concentric ring. According to the uniform inductance distribution mode, the quasi-inductance resonance technology and the parallel distributed inductance resonance technology. According to the resonator material, it can be divided into ceramic - metal mixed type, full ceramic type and full metal type. According to the cooling method, air cooling and water cooling. According to the encapsulation mode of separation and release, flow type.
CO2 laser power has been closely followed by the pace of The Times, what market demand, CO2 laser power to make corresponding changes. However, in certain fields, due to the limitations of the technology itself, the market has been seized by other lasers, such as fiber laser in metal cutting, replacing most CO2 lasers.
The source of Radium has been closely following the pace of the industry, while doing a good job in CO2 laser power supply products, but also taking into account the development of fiber laser power supply and semiconductor laser power supply field.
