Arnold Ravensburg's new laser polishing machine for the University of Foshan has arrived in China and will be handed over to the customer ready for production in the next few weeks.
In collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute in Aachen, the laser polishing process has been continuously developed in recent years and can now be used to automatically polish glass as well as metal materials using the laser tool. Our customer in Foshan will initially use the machine for research purposes and will later also polish components for industrial use in small series.
During laser polishing, the surface is melted with a 300W laser, thereby reducing the surface roughness.
The laser used can also be used in pulsed mode, so that polishing is possible in the micro and macro range. The beam guidance includes a zoom lens and a scanner for fast beam movement.
A protective gas chamber with a reduced oxygen atmosphere enables better polishing results and is also integrated into the system.
The system has several NC axes and can polish 3-dimensional components. Component sizes of up to approx. 400 mm can be processed with the system.
