With the widespread popularity and vigorous development of various consumer electronic products such as flat-panel TVs and smart phone GPS navigators, laser glass processing technology has been more and more applied to the production and manufacturing of the above products. The reason is that laser glass cutting (laser module) It has the advantages of high output, low cost, flexible processing graphics and other processes that are irreplaceable.
Laser processing can be applied to a wide variety of glass types, from low-cost soda-lime glass to high quality borosilicate glass.laser moduleCutting requirements include basic straight-line cutting, monomer division, and simple and complex geometries. The difficult challenges of this process are to increase production capacity, reduce melting, and prevent the formation of microcracks.
Spectra-Physics Pulseo series 355nm UV Q-switched laser, very suitable for glass cutting. The light spot can be focused to <10μm, and the processing process is equipped with a high-speed scanning galvanometer, which can reduce the heat accumulation to a small, thereby reducing the thermal load of the processed glass; the short pulse width of the Pulseo laser makes the heat damage of the cut glass Minimize and effectively prevent the generation of microcracks.
Spectra-Physics's Industrial Laser Application Laboratory has developed a new process specifically for glass cutting applications, which can cut 1mm thick soda lime glass and Schott D-263 borosilicate glass with a thickness of 100-200 μm. The high-speed drilling and cutting process takes only 6 seconds to cut a Φ2mm round hole on 1mm thick glass. For thinner borosilicate glass, the average cutting speed of straight and curved lines can reach 20 mm/s.
Scanning electron micrographs showed that the Pulseo laser achieved very high quality in 200 μm thick Shott D-263 borosilicate glass cutting, with no visible microcracks present. For 1mm thick soda lime glass cutting, the cutting surface contour is clear and clean, and the taper is small.
For 100 μm thick Shott D-263 glass,laser moduleThe cutting speed can be as high as 40 mm/s. The use of short pulse laser process makes it a reality to cut a sharper angle on the glass sheet without microcracks.
