Material: Anodized
Industry: Defense

Detailed Application View

 

Application Details:

Material:  Anodized aluminum Power:  100%
Method Used:  Laser cutting Frequency:  20kHz
Depth:  Through Speed:  300mm/sec
Laser Type:  Pulsed fiber laser (1064nm, 1mJ @ 20kHz) Passes: 100
Focal Length Lens:  254mm Cycle Time:  ~16min


An anodized aluminum LAV-R data plate sample was processed with pulsed fiber laser The LAV-R is an all-terrain, all-weather vehicle with night capabilities. This vehicle is capable of safely uprighting overturned LAVs while minimizing additional damage. It has the tactical mobility to reach and recover/support disabled vehicles. The vehicle is capable of towing a disabled LAV with suspension damage. It is air transportable via C-130, C-141, C-5 and CH-53E. When combat loaded there are 200 ready rounds and 800 stowed rounds of 7.62 ammunition. There are 8 ready rounds and 8 stowed rounds of smoke grenades. The vehicle can be made fully amphibious within 3 minutes.

 (1064nm, 1nJ @ 20 kHz) through a scanning head with 254mm F-theta focusing lens. Operating at 100% power, through cutting was achieved in 16 minutes after 100 passes. A small bridge was left to show original orientation of pieces. Thicker aluminum plate is still possible to cut through with marking system, but cycle time becomes too big. Therefore, such tests were not made.

The SBM 1200M Laser Cutting and Engraving Machine comes equipped with CO2 laser combining flying optics with a precision Direct Drive motion system. CO2 laser equipped system provides highly accurate cutting, welding, engraving and marking capabilities for multiple materials.
