Photonics meets textile engineering: faster CFRP

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) components are usually assembled using fasteners. These are typically glued into the CFRP component once it has been cured and drilled. The consortium behind the CarboLase project came up with a new method, using an ultrashort pulsed laser to drill the holes for the fasteners in the textile preform with micrometer-scale accuracy.

Pocket milling of carbon fiber

Non-traditional machining of carbon fiber-reinforced plastics, such as laser machining, has great advantages over mechanical machining in the aspect of machinability and flexibility. In this article, a laser milling method using diode pumped and frequency doubled Nd:YVO 4 nanosecond pulsed laser system is presented.

Processing of fiber‐reinforced ultra‐high temperature

Fiber contents in continuous‐fiber UHTCMCs vary from 40 to 65 vol%, with higher contents nominally increasing mechanical performance, but offer more difficulty when infiltrating with matrix material. 30, 31 Carbon fibers are frequently used in UHTCMCs due to

2D/3D laser cutting of carbon fiber reinforced plastic

We report on the laser cutting of carbon fiber reinforced thermo-plastic (CFRTP) and carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) with a cw IR fiber laser (average power: 2 kW). CFRTP and CFRP are a composite material which contains carbon fibers and binding plastics.

Momentum and velocity of the ablated material in laser

The automation in fabrication of CFRP (carbon-fiber-reinforced plastics) parts demands efficient and low-cost machining technologies. In conventional cutting technologies, tool-wear and low process speeds are some of the reasons for high costs. Thus, the use of lasers is an attractive option for cutting CF-preforms. A typical effect degrading the quality in laser cutting CF-preform is a bulged

Laser Cutting and Drilling of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer Cutting and Drilling Flex PCBs The trend in flexible PCB technology is towards miniaturization: thinner substrate materials and smaller hole sizes for both blind via holes and through vias, with concurrent increases in feature density.

Drilling Strategy for Thick Carbon Fiber Reinforced

The laser machining experiments were conducted to identify the potential of fiber laser machines to cut thick CFRP due to their superior laser beam quality. The results showed that choosing the appropriate drilling strategy in mechanical drilling is essential for reducing damage when drilling thick CFRP.

Laser Beam Machining

The term "laser" is an acronym for the physical effect (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) but is often also used to refer to the beam source. The first laser was demonstrated in 1960 by Th. H. Maiman, and it has since then been developed into various fields of applications, e.g., production engineering, medicine, measurement, science, and data recording.

KAKEN — Research Projects

We developed a pulsed CO2 laser oscillating in the cylindrically polarized modes by means of a Triple-axicon optical resonator. We applied it to the machining of the carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP).Drilling was conducted by radially, azimuthally, and randomly polarized beams. It was found that azimuthally polarized beam could drill the CFRP plate by 25% smaller pulse energy. On the
