Laser processing is to irradiate the laser beam to the surface of the workpiece, and use the high energy of the laser to cut, melt, vaporize materials and achieve welding, cutting, hardening, repairing, carving, drilling and other effects. Laser cutting technology has the advantages of high efficiency, high precision and small heat affected zone. It can also process a variety of metals and non-metals, especially materials with high hardness, high brittleness and high melting point. Therefore, it is very suitable for the manufacturing of household appliances that require light weight and beautiful appearance.
Among the commonly used electrical products, the laser cutting machine is mainly used for drilling and cutting the shell metal parts, plastic parts and metal parts of washing machines, refrigerators, air conditioners and other products (metal sheet parts account for more than 30% of all parts). For example, you can cut and process the sheet steel parts, cut the metal parts of the air conditioner and the metal cover, cut and punch the radiator screen at the bottom or back of the refrigerator, and cut the metal smoke guide plate of the range hood.
There are also some small household appliances, such as juicer blade cutting, microwave oven cutting, microwave oven technology cooling plate cutting, laser cutting can also be used.
In addition to the incomparable flexibility and processing accuracy of traditional blanking, corner cutting, opening and trimming processes, laser cutting machines can also achieve customized, personalized and high-volume production. Because the laser cutting machine uses "contactless processing", without mold production and cost, the processing graphics are made by software, and the patterns are diverse, so it can effectively improve product quality, reduce production costs, and meet the needs of enterprise production customization and refinement.
At present, the penetration rate of laser cutting machine in the household appliance manufacturing industry is still far from enough, but with the development of modern technology, the traditional processing technology in the household appliance industry has been continuously transformed and upgraded, and the competitiveness of laser cutting has gradually become prominent in terms of improving the processing quality and optimizing the appearance of products. Its importance has gradually been recognized by manufacturers. It can be concluded that the application of laser technology in the household appliance industry will be more and more extensive, Its development potential and market opportunities will be immeasurable.
