Objective
This project entails research with the goal to extend laser cutting of steel based metals to thickness' above 20 mm and laser powers in the 10 kW range, with adequate accuracy and economically viable cutting speeds. The technical approach will be to develop mirror based cutting heads with truly coaxially gas jet chamber and laser beam path from the final focusing mirror.
The project consist of three phases:
Phase 1: Fundamental studies of cutting front mechanisms, beam propagation, nozzle design and chemical reactions in te cut kerf with special emphasize on high laser powers and thick sections;
Phase 2: Development of mirror based test cutting heads;
Phase 3: Test and evaluation of the cutting heads on two high power CO2~1asersources in the 6-12 kW power range. The test phase will concentrate on cutting steels, applied in the heavy industry. BE97-4212
