The 10,600 nm invisible infrared beam that the CO2 laser creates can be employed in continuous-wave or superpulsed modes. Laser energy is non-selectively absorbed by water, where it rapidly converts to steam and causes ablative and thermal damage.
The CO2 laser is one of the most often used lasers in the dermatological industry. Lasers used in photosurgery come in a variety of forms and have wavelengths that vary depending on their intended application. Water is an excellent absorber of CO2 laser energy, which has a wavelength in the mid-infrared range of 10,600 nm.
A molecular gas laser with emission in the long-wavelength infrared spectrum, the CO2 laser (carbon dioxide laser) emits light in this range. Based on a gas combination that includes carbon dioxide (CO2), helium (He), nitrogen (N2), and perhaps some hydrogen (H2), oxygen (O2), water vapour, and/or xenon as the gain medium (Xe).
The Global Carbon dioxide laser oscillators market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Two new CV Series models of 3D CO2 laser processing systems from Mitsubishi Electric have been released; these systems are intended exclusively for cutting carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP), which are a lightweight, high-strength material used in automobiles.
The CO2 laser oscillators in the materials processing equipment, which the company calls “a world-first,” merge the oscillator and amplifier into the same container.
This design, in conjunction with the materials processing head of the CV Series, can assist accomplish high-speed and precise processing, opening the door for the mass manufacturing of CFRP products, which, according to Mitsubishi, has not been possible with earlier processing techniques.
“In the last several years, there have been more and more requests from the automotive sector for lower CO2 emissions, better fuel economy, and lighter materials to enable longer driving distances. As a result, demand for CFRP, a relatively new material, is growing, according to Mitsubishi’s launch statement.
Contrarily, CFRP processing utilising current technology has encountered problems with waste treatment, high operating costs, and low productivity. The methodology needed to be changed.
By outperforming current processing methods in terms of processing quality and productivity, the CV Series will be able to meet hitherto unattainable levels of mass production for CFRP products.
