Laser cutting: An advanced technology in sheet metal working
Abstract
The importance of the laser technology in sheet metal working, especially as regards the cutting of sheets is covered. The demands on the laser beam quality during the beam generation are discussed just as the prerequisites placed on the guide machine if the laser tool is to yield the working results as demanded by the workshop for the industrial utilization. The physical properties of the materials which are necessary for the thermal cutting process with laser are considered.
