Explore developments across industries where industrial chillers play a vital role, from laser processing to 3D printing, medical, packaging, and beyond.
Semiconductor laser is the core component of solid-state laser and fiber laser, and its performance directly determines the quality of terminal laser equipment. The quality of the terminal laser equipment is not only affected by the core component, but also by the cooling system it is equipped with. Laser chiller can ensure the stable operation of the laser for a long time, improve the efficiency and prolong the service life.
Lasers are developing in the direction of high power. Among continuous high-power fiber lasers, infrared lasers are the mainstream, but blue lasers have obvious advantages and their prospects are more optimistic. The large market demand and obvious advantages have driven the development of blue-light lasers and their laser chillers.
In the market application of laser cleaning, pulsed laser cleaning and composite laser cleaning (functional composite cleaning of pulsed laser and continuous fiber laser) are the most widely used, while CO2 laser cleaning, ultraviolet laser cleaning and continuous fiber laser cleaning are less used. Different cleaning methods use different lasers, and different laser chillers will be used for cooling to ensure effective laser cleaning.
With the growing demand of the global shipbuilding industry, breakthroughs in laser technology are more suitable for shipbuilding requirements, and the upgrade of shipbuilding technology in the future will drive more high-power laser applications.
The largest application material for laser processing is metal. Aluminum alloy is second only to steel in industrial applications. Most aluminum alloys have good welding performance. With the rapid development of aluminum alloys in the welding industry, the application of laser welding aluminum alloys with strong functions, high reliability, no vacuum conditions and high efficiency has also developed rapidly.
FPC flexible circuit boards can greatly reduce the size of electronic products and play an irreplaceable role in the electronics industry. There are four cutting methods for FPC flexible circuit boards, compared with CO2 laser cutting, infrared fiber cutting and green light cutting, UV laser cutting has more advantages.
Brightness is one of the important indicators to measure the comprehensive performance of lasers. The fine processing of metals also puts forward higher requirements for the brightness of lasers. Two factors affect the brightness of the laser: its self factors and external factors.
When purchasing laser equipment, pay attention to the power of the laser, optical components, cutting consumables and accessories, etc. In the selection of its chiller, while matching the cooling capacity, it is also necessary to pay attention to the cooling parameters such as the voltage and current of the chiller, the temperature control, etc.
To ensure proper curing and to maintain the desired properties of the foam gasket, it is crucial to control the temperature. TEYU S&A water chillers have a cooling capacity of 600W-41000W and a temperature control accuracy of ±0.1°C-±1°C. They are ideal cooling equipment for PU foam sealing gasket machines.
Water cooling covers the entire power range that CO₂ lasers can achieve. In the actual production process, the water temperature adjustment function of the chiller is usually used to keep the laser equipment within a suitable temperature range to ensure the continuous and stable operation of the laser equipment.
In practical application scenarios, the laser processing requirements of most common products in industrial manufacturing are within 20 mm, which is in the range of lasers with a power of 2000W to 8000W. The main application of laser chillers is to cool laser equipment. Correspondingly, the power is mainly concentrated in the medium and high power sections.
Lasers are mainly used in industrial laser processing such as laser cutting, laser welding, and laser marking. Among them, fiber lasers are the most widely used and mature in industrial processing, promoting the development of the entire laser industry. Fiber lasers develop in the direction of higher-power lasers. As a good partner to maintain the stable and continuous operation of laser equipment, chillers are also developing towards higher power with fiber lasers.
