core tip: in recent years, the word "laser" seems to have faded away from that mysterious veil, and from the high position in the laboratory, it has moved to more "places to use" in all walks of life. In the industrial field, various laser technologies and products not only provide ideal solutions for many applications that are difficult to be realized by traditional processing methods, but also add imaginative wings to more unknown and urgent new fields

in recent years, the word "laser" seems to have long faded from that mysterious veil, and moved from the high position in the laboratory to more "places of use" in all walks of life. In the industrial field, various laser technologies and products not only provide ideal solutions for many applications that are difficult to be realized by traditional processing methods, but also add imaginative wings to more unknown and urgent new fields

what unexpected new phenomena will appear in the future for the sunrise industry of laser? What new trends will it usher in? In the era of "optical intelligent manufacturing", how should the laser industry forge ahead and open a new chapter Elites and experts from the laser industry have brought a variety of wonderful views from different perspectives. Some highlights are also selected here to review with you

this year, the laser industry presents a development trend with fiber lasers, picosecond, femtosecond and other ultrafast laser technologies, as well as UV laser processing as highlights. At the same time, laser precision micromachining has gained more and more applications in new energy, information technology, biomedicine, new materials, electronics, aerospace and other industries, including precision drilling, marking, grooving, surface texturing, surface modification, internal modification, trimming, cleaning, additive manufacturing and other processes. In addition, the concepts of intelligent manufacturing and new energy provide a good development environment for lasers. For example, the demand for laser cutting and welding equipment has increased sharply in the booming new energy vehicle industry in recent years

then, what are the dynamic forces to promote the sustainable development of this industry in the future? First of all, laser manufacturing technology brings new challenges to the traditional design and manufacturing process, so it is necessary to flexibly respond to various processing needs with more subversive and innovative concepts and methods, and strive to achieve the best balance between processing accuracy, processing speed, economic benefits, green environmental protection and intelligence. Secondly, with the deepening of "made in China 2025", laser technology is bound to promote the manufacturing industry to expand to the high end of the value chain. The ten Jinan assays released in this strategy mainly include electronic universal testing machine, hydraulic universal testing machine, spring testing machine, pressure testing machine and other major product areas. The demand for high-end laser technologies such as laser welding, laser cutting and 3D laser melt printing in aerospace equipment, new energy vehicles and other fields will continue to be released. In addition to shining brightly in photovoltaic, intelligent, automotive and other industrial fields, laser technology will also play an important role in driverless cars, quantum communications, atomic clocks and other advanced technology fields, as well as more new application fields that automatically print all tested data from small to large numbers

in addition, in 2017, laser processing technology will continue to develop towards high-precision processing, creating unprecedented possibilities for traditional processing methods. With the development of the upstream laser industry, laser manufacturing technology will gradually cover most areas of the national economy. The demand of laser equipment market will be in line with the direction of high power, integration and automation. With the improvement and optimization of the technological level of light, machinery, electricity and gas, China has quickly entered the era of light intelligent manufacturing

there is also an impressive "polarization" trend: first, the direction of large-scale, high-speed, large volume and high-power - refers to the thicker processing materials, faster processing speed, and the continuous climbing of laser power. It is verified by special tools and standard Newton weights to ensure that the transmission accuracy of this experimental machine and friction torque is accurate and reliable according to the provisions of the measurement method, The equipment is large-scale and heavy-duty, supplemented by more automation and complete sets; Another trend is precision, miniaturization and micromachining. It means that there will be more demand for ultra fast lasers such as more precise parts, picoseconds and femtoseconds

other experts pointed out that compared with 2015, the number of laser cutting machines used in the sheet metal processing market has basically doubled this year. This is due to the progress of domestic fiber lasers, control systems, processing heads and laser cutting machine integration in the field of technology and cost. These developments have also accelerated the conversion from the traditional production process with punch and plate shears as the main body to laser processing

in recent years, "cloud computing, big data, IOT" and other Internet + words and technologies have not been talked about less. It is gratifying that we also see that more and more laser enterprises are actively implementing these emerging technologies in various manufacturing links such as R & D, design, production, sales and services in an innovative way. For example, tongkuai's laser equipment are products that can realize industry 4.0 through vertical integration; In terms of horizontal integration of intelligent product lines, the company has enabled laser network trutops

fab; At the end of the intelligent value chain, its cloud service platform axoom can connect different partners and share technical parameters. Taking domestic enterprises as an example, smart Prima has earlier tried to combine "cloud computing, big data, IOT" and other technologies with laser equipment and services, and has achieved many results. Put sensors and cellular data modules into the equipment, the machine can "actively"

report its status, and the processing data can be connected with ERP in real time. With the help of Internet, users of laser equipment can be provided with "intelligent services" - automatic processing of service requests submitted by apps, pages, etc., "self-service", active maintenance, etc
