Advanced Manufacturing Processes (MECH60132):

1. Aims and Objectives

This laboratory exercise aims to further enhance the understanding of basic characteristics of precision laser processing through the blended learning of the use of different laser systems. The procedure involves the processing of standard laboratory materials such as, stainless steel and polymers. The overall aim of the project is to make each undergraduate student their own keying, made using the laser systems in the laboratory.

· To introduce the operating procedures of complex laser systems and demonstrate their use in advance production. 

· To understand the effects of operating parameters and material used on the process result. 

· To familiarise the use of analytical equipment such as optical microscope for the examination of processed samples. 

· To understand the basic safety issues involved in laser processing. 

2. Exercises 

Laser cutting, marking and Micromachining will be demonstrated. In all cases, the following basic steps are undertaken:

· Brief introduction to the layout of the laser system.

· Experimental Preparation, which involves the startup of the laser systems, the alignment of the processing table and the scanning equipment, the preparation of work pieces, safety systems, etc. The procedures should be noted.

· Examination of Samples: This involves the use of optical microscope. Surface patterns, damage analysis, as well as size comparisons will be undertaken.  

· Calculation of beam sizes, fluencies, and other measurement parameters.

2.1. System A – Cutting Exercise

The machine used is an HPC fibre laser cutting system, which is coupled to a 3-axis CNC stage. The following will be demonstrated and performed in the exercise: 

· Alignment Process: Setting up of a sample in the process region. 

· Cutting Exercise: Setting up programs that will be used for cutting of materials. Variation of the processing parameters such as velocity, power, and gas mixture will be assessed.

· Analysis of results: This will involve use of optical microscope to determine optimal cutting and processing speeds.

· Cutting the keyring: Using the parameters determined a few key rings will be cut.

2.2. System B – Marking laser system

A laser marking system and Nutfield galvanometer will be used for the exercise. The following will be demonstrated: 

· Alignment Process: Setting up of a sample in the process region and location of laser beam focal position. 

· Laser ablation exercise: This involves machining the materials surface to determine the correct marking parameters.

· Marking the keying: Using the parameters determined marking of the key rings can be done.

2.3. System C – RF CO2 Laser

The laser used is a RF CO2 laser machine, which is coupled to a CNC stage operated. The following will be demonstrated and performed in the exercise: 

· Alignment Process: Setting up of a sample in the process region and location of laser beam focal position. 

· Laser ablation exercise: This involves machining the materials surface to determine their ablation rates. After alignment, the procedure will be performed using several different processing parameters. Parameters and their effects should be noted. 

· Analysis of results: This will involve use of optical microscope to determine hole depth. 

Note: In your report you will be required to provide information regarding pulse energy, fluence, etc for the parameters used during the exercise! 

3. Assessment
