Co2 Laser Cutting Machine Question About CO2 lasers and industrial laser cutting?
Hi, I'm doing a report on industrial laser cutting and have a few questions about termonology. First, is the resonator the tube were the gases are pulsed? Some sources call this the discharge tube, but are they the same? Also, if anyone is in this industry, what are the price ranges on these machines. I know they start at around $250k and go up from there, but I'd like to get a tighter range. Also, what are the maintenance costs on the machines. Thanks Also, please don't just copy and paste a response from a website. I've researched the topic already and have probably seen most of the websites on this.
Hi, I am at this moment running two Amada 4000w lasers on a automated material handling system. As far as I know the the tube/discharge tube is the same thing. Also, I have always assumed that the resonator is the whole unit that contains the tubes, power sources, vac. pump, turbo etc. You might be a little low on price, but I'm sure that varies from one machine to the next. I think these two machines along with the automation ran us around 2 million. As far as consumables, your looking at the most common - lenses and nozzles. Lens run around $300, nozzles $60. These machines also have a total of eight bend mirrors in them, four internal, four external. The four internal being inside the resonator. We probably average a set of mirrors twice a year and I'm not sure the costs on those. Other than that, other maintenance is lube for the drives and oil changes for vac. pump and turbo, and I do those every 1000 hours. Any more questions feel free to ask. clintmcgll@yahoo.com

"Machine Tool Vibrations and Cutting Dynamics" covers the fundamentals of cutting dynamics from the perspective of discontinuous systems theory. It shows the reader how to use coupling, interaction, and different cutting states to mitigate machining instability and enable better machine tool design. Among the topics discussed are; underlying dynamics of cutting and interruptions in cutting motions; the operation of the machine-tool systems over a broad range of operating conditions with minimal vibration and the need for high precision, high yield micro- and nano-machining.

Laser cutting Machine is a technology that uses a laser to cut materials, and is typically used for industrial manufacturing applications. Laser cutting machine works by directing the output of a high power laser, by computer, at the material to be cut. The material then either melts, burns, vaporizes away, or is blown away by a jet of gasleaving an edge with a high quality surface finish. Industrial laser cutters are used to cut flat-sheet material as well as structural and piping materials.
Advantages of laser cutting over mechanical cutting vary according to the situation, but two important factors are the lack of physical contact (since there is no cutting edge which can become contaminated by the material or contaminate the material), and to some extent precision (since there is no wear on the laser). There is also a reduced chance of warping the material that is being cut, as laser systems have a small heat-affected zone. Some materials are also very difficult or impossible to cut by more traditional means. One of the disadvantages of laser cutting includes the high energy required.
There are three main types of lasers used in laser cutting machine. The CO2 laser is suited for cutting, boring, and engraving. The neodymium (Nd) and neodymium yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd-YAG) lasers are identical in style and differ only in application. Nd is used for boring and where high energy but low repetition are required. The Nd-YAG laser is used where very high power is needed and for boring and engraving. Both CO2 and Nd/ Nd-YAG lasers can be used for welding.
