Co2 Laser Cutting Machine

                                                                     The laser, like any other electromagnetic wave transmission, also has electrical and magnetic vectors that are perpendicular to each other in two directions and both are orthogonal to the laser transmission direction. It is generally believed that the direction of the electrical vector is the polarization direction of the beam. The polarization of the beam affects the absorption of the beam energy by the material. Cutting parallel to the direction of polarization of the beam results in a narrow cut and its edges are smooth and flat. If the cutting direction is at an angle to the plane of polarization, the energy absorption is reduced and the cutting speed is slowed. The slit is widened and the…
