New breakthrough technology surpassing the limit of existing laser machining area and speed through real-time synchronization of 5-axis mechanical machining module and 3-axis laser scanner

With this technology, micropatterning of size 15 μm at the continuous machining speed over 280 mm/s can be performed on a freeform surface.

 

Client / Market

  • Functionality of home appliances/market requiring aesthetic surface, cellfriendliness improving implant/hip surface treatment, cutting and boring of automobile/aircraft surface component
  • 5-axis cutting/boring laser machining market, real-time synchronization controller market, laser CAM SW market

 

Limitation of Existing Technology

  • 3-axis laser scanner cannot cope with a completely freeform due to the depth factor of process.
  • Foreign machine tool companies commercialize a simple combination of 5-axis processor with 3-axis scanner.
  • The manufacturing speed decreases and a commissure issue occurs with the step and scanning method used with a simple combination of 5-axis processor and 3-axis laser scanner.

 

Technical Differentiation

  • Control unit for real-time synchronization by entering the position/speed of 5-axis processor into the scanner control board
  • World’s first scanner control board for 5-axis signal input
  • CAM SW development for separation of heavy weight 5-axis processor transfer route and high-speed 3-axis laser scanner route/speed acceleration

 

Excellence of Technology

  • Real-time synchronization of 5-axis mechanical machining module and 3-axis laser scanner to surpass the limit of machining area and speed of existing laser.
  • With this technology, micropatterning of size 15 μm at the continuous machining speed over 280 mm/s can be performed on a freeform surface of material difficult for processing, Ti.
