Abstract

Generally, laser machines with high generated power can be developed by means of enhancing their mean power, since the enhancement of mean power exerts an influence on peripheral parameters and machining performance. In this research, we evaluate the various machining properties by the use of two machines which bear different mean power each other, so that we may study various effects of the enhancement of mean power. As a result, when the mean power comes to be enhanced to 75%, we obtain the increase of output energy up to 69% and of peak power more than 95%, and also obtain almost twice of the cutting speed. Moreover we find the fact that if the test pieces have enough thickness in contrast with output energy, the pulse frequency moves toward the frequency bandwidth which takes proportion to the cutting speed mas well as to the amount of material removal per unit time. In addition it is finally obtained that the laser machine with high output power yields small taper degrees at kerf parts, while it has large cutting widiths and dross lengths.

본 연구에서는 가공기 자체의 파라메터와 성능에 관한 연구로서 출력 에너지 가 서로 다른 가공기를 사용하여 SUS 304 스테인리스 시험편을 관통, 절단하면서 출력 에너지와 최대 출력을 비교하여 보고, 시험편 관통시 주파수와 출력 에너지와의 관계, 시험편 관통시 응융 금속 제거량에 의한 절단 속도의 예측, 서로 다른 출력의 가공에 있어서 슬릿 절단 폭, 커프 폭, 드로스 길이, 절단면의 표면 거칠기 등을 비교하여 출 력차에 따른 가공 특성을 고찰하였다.
