Mr. Peng Yuanzhang, general manager of the German Luofen Laser Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. using laser green technology to replace the traditional process of replacement is an inevitable trend, and foreign developed countries can advance into the light manufacturing era, but also based on Its advanced laser manufacturing technology level, and the application of manufacturing technology research experience. Any want to replace the traditional process by laser, must first improve the level of laser manufacturing and laser applications in order to eventually replace the traditional process. At present, China's rapid development of laser industry, every year many new forces to join the laser manufacturing industry, which not only promote the development of the laser industry, but also help optimize the manufacturing sector. With the current development momentum, has generally been recognized for laser manufacturing, China's manufacturing industry into the era of light manufacturing, may be 3-5 years to complete. Peng continued to say: this year, the overall laser industry, or slightly lower than last year, which is mainly due to the growth of China's manufacturing industry has become gentle next year in the big environment, the national government to support the strengthening of the conditions, the laser Industry should have a better momentum of development. Peng always said: every year the country will emerge a number of new laser companies, a group of early start of the enterprise has been from the basis of seeking the transformation of seeking quality change, which is the whole industry are very happy to see.
The quality of laser products has many factors, from the production environment requirements, mechanization, personnel management, factory testing, spare parts supply and so on will directly and indirectly affect the quality and use of laser products. Foreign laser products can have a relatively stable quality, not only the production conditions and factors of production control, pre-sale laser training, regular maintenance, and years of practical experience of deposition, it may be the current domestic enterprises have not yet of. Rofin, as an import laser product sales company, has 40 years of laser processing experience, the product features are very stable, this is because we are the product of the factory conditions management is very strict, any possible problems of the laser, not because the market in urgent need ahead Out of the library, which is why the production of Rofin products will not be one of the reasons for the big, compared to the straight line to enhance, Rofin as an application-oriented company, pay more attention to the quality of the product itself and customer demand for help, This is Rofin in the laser market is different from other counterparts. Of course, in addition to the stability of the laser quality, how to make customers right and better use of laser products is more need for small businesses to attract attention.
Rofin obtained all intellectual property rights of FiLaser USA LLC through the completion of the asset transaction, including trademarks, know-how, patents and patent applications. Rofin is now able to offer the widest range of high-quality laser cutting processes for fortified and non-reinforced glass, sapphires and ceramics. In addition to the successful use of ROFIN-LASAG's LFS-laser, ROFIN SmartCut FC, a fused cutting technology for sapphire and ceramic materials, and ablation of thin and brittle materials using picosecond lasers or femtosecond lasers ROFIN SmartCut AC technology, ROFIN's latest ROFIN SmartCleave FI technology will be used in electronic consumer products and a wider range of applications. SmartCleave FI is a new technology that uses special performance ultrashort pulse laser.
Its core technology (protected by property rights) is the use of laser filament high-speed separation of transparent fragile materials, and in the process does not produce any debris and cracks. ROFIN SmartCleave FI process can cut any shape, including a small processing corner angle, single processing processing slits without taper. After cutting the surface of the product clean and tidy without fragmentation. Under normal circumstances the surface roughness value is less than 1 micron, which makes the cutting part of the bending strength is very high. SmartCleave FI This new process cleverly simplifies the lengthy labor-intensive machining chain to only a few steps.
Peng continued to introduce: ROFIN Smart Cleave FI this new technology applications are very broad. Including displays for display, LED and OLED products and other microelectronics applications for mobile phone displays, televisions, computers and tablets made of fortified or non-reinforced glass and sapphire, as well as glass for manufacturing integrated circuits Substrates, optical devices, watches, construction and home glass, medical equipment, semiconductors or ceramic products. Mr. Min Dayong, President of Huagong Technology Industry Co., Ltd. China is the world's manufacturing power, industrial laser applications and equipment in China almost all applications, but the full access to the era of light manufacturing has not yet come, but the advent of stage light manufacturing And development is still very fast. China's laser industry development achievements for all to see, from the manufacture of consumer electronics products, from the laser marking and small laser welding applications, China's popularity will not be lower than the world's developed countries, in these areas has been no exaggeration Said that China has risen to the level of the era of light manufacturing; China can use the next light to describe the application of the era, should be laser cutting, this time should be the next 2-3 years; with China's economic restructuring and upgrading of the comprehensive depth , China's laser industry to flourish in the situation and laid the foundation for these years, high-end laser equipment and sophisticated laser applications will be rapid development, the next 5 to 10 years, China will fully enter the era of light manufacturing.
