Laser cutting is a process in which a laser beam vaporizes or melts a material, enabling it to be reshaped. This process can be used to cut or engrave a variety of materials, including wood and metals.
The Extreme Light Infrastructure – Nuclear Physics (ELI NP) in Magurele, Romania is one of the most advanced facilities for laser research. It is a European Union-funded project.
CO2 Lasers
A carbon dioxide laser is an electronic laser device whose gain medium is composed of carbon dioxide and nitrogen (N2), helium (He). It is used in many applications and is considered one of the most versatile and effective types of lasers.
A typical CO2 laser uses an electrical discharge to pump the molecule into excited states of the gas. As a result, the laser produces light at multiple wavelengths.
In addition, the high beam quality of CO2 lasers allows them to produce a large amount of energy. As a result, they can be used for welding, cutting, and marking materials.
Trotec’s Fazeny said the company uses a sealed CO2 laser for a wide range of applications, including marking, cutting and perforating Beiersdorf’s Tesa labels, which are used for automotive vehicle identification number (VIN) labels. These lasers are able to produce high-resolution marks that are tamper evident, weather and UV resistant and have a long life.
Fiber Lasers
Fiber lasers operate by adding a small amount of rare earth elements to the core of silica glass, which changes its refractive index. This causes the laser to reflect light in a way that is similar to a mirror.
This is a simple way of creating a high-powered laser that can cut through a variety of materials. It also eliminates the need for a blower or moving parts, which can help reduce the cost of operation.
The power of the laser depends on a number of factors, including beam quality, pulse duration and pulse repetition rate. Shorter pulses will concentrate the same energy in a shorter period of time, which allows for higher peak powers.
Fiber lasers are an increasingly popular choice for metalworking applications. They can handle a much larger workload than CO2 lasers, have lower maintenance costs, and have a long lifetime. Moreover, they are much more versatile than CO2 lasers because they can be easily coiled up and are smaller in size.

Metalworking Images
Metalworking is a centuries-old art form that uses hammered, forged, and other metalwork techniques to create sculptural works. It is used for religious and cultural purposes, as well as to build tools and structures. It has been practiced by artisans, blacksmiths, alchemists, and contractors around the world.
Laser processing is a powerful and versatile process that can be used to cut a wide variety of materials. It increases factory productivity, but it also has its challenges. It requires an increased level of coordination to ensure that downstream operations such as bending, welding, and finishing aren’t bottlenecked. Moreover, the increase in cutting throughput can impact material handling and logistics. Fortunately, LASER PROCESSING ROMANIA provides an array of services to address these issues. For example, they have a dedicated team of professionals who can offer turnkey implementations and personal training. They also provide transportation and assembly services to support their clients’ needs. Visit their website today to learn more!
