Glass Laser Cutting Machine
Picosecond laser glass cutting machines the epitome of sophistication in glass artistry. Harnessing the power of ultrashort laser pulses measured in picoseconds, these machines sculpt glass with unparalleled precision and detail, allowing artisans to create intricate designs and delicate patterns that defy traditional cutting methods. Witness the magic unfold as each cut is executed with flawless clarity and finesse, elevating glass art to new heights of beauty and sophistication.
As a non-contact machining method, picosecond laser cutting effectively prevents microcracks and chipping. Its ultra-short pulse duration allows cutting to be completed before heat can diffuse, resulting in virtually no residual stress. This greatly enhances the mechanical strength of glass edges and ensures superior cut quality.
A picosecond laser emits ultrashort pulses measured in trillionths of a second (10⁻¹² s). Unlike traditional lasers that generate heat and micro-cracks, a picosecond laser cuts glass through a “cold ablation” process.
This means:
-
No thermal damage
-
No micro-cracks
-
Smooth edges without polishing
-
Extreme cutting accuracy (±1μm)
It is widely used for precision glass cutting applications that require tight tolerances and flawless quality.
Main Features of Picosecond Laser Glass Cutting Machine
1.The glass cutting machine is capable of cutting large thicknesses of material, with a maximum cutting thickness of 19mm for ultra-white glass.
2.It offers higher cutting efficiency and can reach maximum cutting speeds of up to 500mm/s, which is several times the processing efficiency of CNC.
3.No secondary processing is required. Minimal edge collapse, no secondary processing such as flushing, grinding, and polishing is required.
4.Smooth and flat without damage: neat edges, good verticality, no micro-cracks, breakage or fragments.
5.Higher edge strength: picosecond laser, so the edge strength is higher, three times that of traditional cutting methods.
6.Environmentally friendly and no consumables: non-contact cutting, energy saving and environmental protection.
7.Cutting accuracy ≤20μm, can flexibly realize various types of glass special-shaped cutting.
