Laser equipment companies attract industry attention

Below, the editor from Vkrlaser Optoelectronic Technology (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. will report to you:

The news of a breakthrough in EU laser welding technology on the website of the Ministry of Science and Technology has attracted market attention to the field of laser processing equipment. Analysts believe that as labor costs rise in China, it is expected that the demand growth rate for domestic laser equipment will be significantly higher than the world average in the coming years. And relevant listed companies are actively laying out in response to this trend.

EU technological breakthrough

Laser technology has been widely applied in the welding of plastic parts, converting light energy into thermal energy in the welding area, with effective control of thermal energy becoming a key factor. According to the website of the Ministry of Science and Technology on the 6th, the European Union's Seventh R&D Framework Program provides partial funding and is coordinated by the Fraunhofer Society of Germany. The European POLYBORIGHT R&D team, which includes research institutions and industrial enterprises from multiple EU member states, has successfully developed an innovative high brightness laser beam source and beam shaping technology that can quickly and efficiently weld and shape complex geometric plastic components, with very broad application prospects.

The main breakthrough point of the innovative laser welding technology developed by the R&D team is the development of two optimized 120 watt mid infrared laser beam sources with pulse wavelengths of 1567 nanometers and 1940 nanometers, respectively; Develop novel and practical laser beam shaping components, optimize and combine diffractive and refractive optical components separately, and produce laser beam sources with M-shaped shapes; The computer chip automatic control module of advanced irradiation technology can optimize the distribution of thermal energy in the welding area to enhance the appearance and robustness of the product; The design concept of infrared wavelength laser beam source adapted to the absorption characteristics of plastic polymer materials is adopted for the first time.

Public data shows that in 2011, the global sales revenue of laser systems was 7.06 billion US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 16%. Analysts believe that, in terms of the domestic situation, as China's aging population approaches, the domestic labor cost will continue to rise in the future. There is a large market demand for laser processing equipment. It is expected that the growth rate of domestic demand for laser equipment in the next few years will be significantly higher than the world average.
