High power lasers and their applications in production technology
have experienced a vivid development during the last decades and
now offer improved performance of classical applications in cutting
or welding. Processes that are used since a long time have been
improved considerably, for instance hardening. More and more new
applications have been developed for instance 3D-printing of metals
or forming with laser assistance. Therefore, it is important for
production engineers to understand the laser technology and explore
how it can be used to enhance production speed, quality, and reduce
cost.This book treats the basic principles underlying laser
technology, long-time-used equipment and processes but also the
most recent improvements and applications, then compares it with
the competing conventional technologies. Each of these two parts is
preceded by tutorials that inform the reader about the physical
basis of the respective technologies. In addition, hazards of these
technologies and respective protection are treated for both cases.
The book concludes with a detailed comparison of competing
technologies and lasers to give a prognosis on the future of lasers
in manufacturing. It is written in a style that can be read by
people without a broad physical basis and avoids the use of
derivations and equations but explains all the material in an
easily understandable way in simple words.
