CO2 laser tubes are widely used laser sources in industries and medicine. The core of a CO2 laser tube lies in its gas mixture, mainly including carbon dioxide (the lasing medium), nitrogen (to assist CO2 molecule excitation), and helium (for cooling and discharge stabilization). However, as a CO2 laser tube...
The “Little Red Dot” in Laser Equipment: Understanding Red Light Indicators
In many laser processing or application devices, you'll often notice a faint red dot. This is the red light indicator, also known as a red dot pointer or laser alignment tool. While it doesn't directly participate in the main cutting, welding, or treatment processes, the red light indicator plays a...
Laser Cutting Polycarbonate Risks, Safety, and Alternatives Explained
Laser cutting technology has become essential in modern manufacturing due to its precision and efficiency. However, when it comes to certain plastics, especially Polycarbonate (PC), using heat-based methods requires extra caution. Although laser cutting polycarbonate is possible, its material properties make it a less ideal choice, presenting significant safety and...
