The advantages of laser cutting of PET film and battery film
In the structure of lithium battery, the diaphragm is one of the key inner components.
The performance of the diaphragm determines the interface structure and internal resistance of the battery, which directly affects the battery's capacity, cycle and safety performance.
The diaphragm with excellent performance plays an important role in improving the overall performance of the battery.
The main function of the diaphragm is to separate the positive and negative electrodes of the battery to prevent the two electrodes from contacting and short-circuiting.
In addition, it also has the function of allowing electrolyte ions to pass through.
The diaphragm material is non-conductive, and its physical and chemical properties have a great influence on the performance of the battery.
Different types of batteries use different diaphragms.
For lithium battery series, since the electrolyte is an organic solvent system, a diaphragm material resistant to organic solvents is required, and a high-strength thin-film polyolefin porous membrane is generally used.
PET film, also known as high-temperature resistant polyester film, has excellent heat resistance, cold resistance, oil resistance and chemical resistance.
According to its function, it can be divided into PET high gloss film, chemical coating film, PET antistatic film, PET heat sealing film, PET heat shrink film, aluminized PET film, etc.
Traditional processing mostly uses die cutting, but for manufacturers with small batches, multiple varieties, and high processing precision requirements, the mold opening cost is high and the precision is not up to standard.
Therefore, the new technology laser cutting has been increasingly adopted by various PET film processing with its unique advantages of simple operation, automated operation, and fine processing.
When cutting on some films, yellowing will occur when using red laser.
Therefore, Beyond Laser uses the characteristics of "cold processing" and "low heat" of UV laser to cut PET film, which just makes up for the shortcomings of red light processing.
Advantages of laser cutting of heat-insulating and pit-blocking films in various electronic devices:
1. Good effect:
UV laser cutting is "cold processing", the film material will not turn yellow when cut, and the cut is smooth.
2. High efficiency:
Using a precision interactive workbench, equipped with automatic/manual working mode, it meets customers' multi-station production automation needs and improves production efficiency.
3. Good performance:
Using a famous brand purple laser imported from the United States, the beam quality is high, and ultra-fine marking can be achieved.
4. High yield rate:
Purple light will not produce thermal effects, can avoid deformation of processed materials, and save materials.
5. Environmental protection and safety:
Fully enclosed safety frame to protect the safety of operators.
6. Low operating cost:
The machine is easy to operate, has no consumables, and low power consumption.

What are the precautions for operating a laser marking machine?
1. It is strictly prohibited to start the laser power supply and Q-switching power supply when there is no water or the water circulation is abnormal.
2. The Q power supply is not allowed to operate without load (i.e., the output terminal of the Q power supply should be left floating).
3. In case of any abnormal phenomenon, first turn off the galvanometer switch and the key switch, and then conduct a check.
4. It is not allowed to start other components before the krypton lamp is lit to prevent high voltage from entering and damaging the components.
5. Pay attention to leaving the output terminal (anode) of the laser power supply suspended to prevent sparking and breakdown with other electrical appliances.
6. Keep the internal circulating water clean. Regularly clean the water tank and replace it with clean deionized water or pure water.

What should we do when laser intensity decreases and the marking is not clear enough?
1. Turn off the machine and check if the laser resonant cavity has changed; Fine-tune the resonant cavity lens. Make the output light spot the best;
2. The acousto-optic crystal is offset or the output energy of the acousto-optic power supply is too low;
Adjust the position of the audio-visual crystal or increase the working current of the audio-visual power supply;
3. The laser entering the galvanometer deviates from the center: Adjust the laser;
4. If the current is adjusted to around 20A but the light sensitivity is still insufficient: the krypton lamp is aging. Replace it with a new one.

How to maintain a UV laser cutting machine?
1. It is required to carry out regular cleaning every day, remove debris from the countertop, limiters and guide rails, and spray lubricating oil on the guide rails
2. The waste materials in the collection box should be cleared regularly to prevent excessive waste from blocking the exhaust port.
3. Clean the chiller once every 15 days, drain all the internal water, and then fill it with fresh pure water.
4. The reflector and focusing lens should be wiped with a special cleaning solution every 6 to 8 hours.
When wiping, use a cotton swab or cotton swab dipped in the cleaning solution to wipe from the center to the edge of the focusing lens in a counterclockwise direction.
At the same time, be careful not to scratch the lens.
5. The indoor environment can affect the lifespan of the machine, especially in damp and dusty conditions.
A damp environment is prone to causing rust on the reflective lenses and also easily leading to short circuits, discharge and sparking of the velvet laser.

What accidents might be caused by the laser emission when using a laser cutting machine?
(1) A fire was caused by the laser coming into contact with flammable materials.
Everyone knows that the power of laser generators is very high, especially when it comes to high-power laser cutting machines, the temperature of the emitted laser is extremely high. The possibility of a fire being caused when a laser beam comes into contact with flammable objects is very high.
(2) Harmful gases may be produced when the machine is in operation.
For instance, when cutting with oxygen, it undergoes a chemical reaction with the cutting material, generating unknown chemical substances or fine particles and other impurities. After being absorbed by the human body, it may cause allergic reactions or discomfort in the lungs and other respiratory tracts. Protective measures should be taken when conducting work.
(3) Direct laser exposure to the human body can be harmful.
The damage caused by lasers to the human body mainly includes damage to the eyes and skin. Among the harms caused by lasers, the damage to the eyes is the most severe. Moreover, damage to the eyes is permanent. So when doing homework, you must pay attention to protecting your eyes.

What is the focused spot diameter of nanosecond, picosecond and femtosecond laser?
Nanosecond: The light spot is 0.5-1mm.
Picosecond: The focused spot is around 0.02mm.
Femtosecond: Under the action of a laser beam with a high repetition rate of 100-200KHz and a very short pulse width of 10ps,
the focused spot diameter is as small as 0.003mm.

Precautions for laser cutting machines to process various metal materials?
Copper and brass:
Both materials have high reflectivity and excellent thermal conductivity.
Brass with a thickness of less than 1mm can be processed by nitrogen laser cutting.
Copper with a thickness of less than 2mm can be cut. The gas used for laser cutting processing must be oxygen.
Copper and brass can only be cut when a "reflective absorption" device is installed on the system. Otherwise, reflection will damage the optical components.
Synthetic materials:
Processable synthetic materials include: thermoplastics, thermosetting materials and artificial rubber.
Aluminum:
Despite its high reflectivity and thermal conductivity, aluminum materials with a thickness of less than 6mm can be cut, depending on the type of alloy and the capacity of the laser.
When cutting with oxygen, the cutting surface is rough and hard.
When nitrogen is used, the cutting surface is smooth.
Pure aluminum is extremely difficult to cut due to its high purity.
Only when a "reflection and absorption" device is installed on the fiber laser cutting machine system can aluminum materials be cut.
Otherwise, reflection will damage the optical components

What should be paid attention to when laser cutting stainless steel?
Laser cutting processing of stainless steel requires the use of oxygen, under the condition that edge oxidation is not a concern.
If nitrogen is used to achieve an edge free of oxidation and burrs, no further processing is required.
Coating an oil film on the surface of the sheet will achieve a better perforation effect without reducing the processing quality.
