Obtaining Holes in Plexiglas Using Low Power CO₂ Laser Beam

Abstract:

The laser beam drilling is generally included in the larger group of laser beam machining methods based on the material removal. The problem addressed in this paper referred to the laser beam drilling of test pieces made of Plexiglas. Some theoretical aspects were highlighted by analyzing the physical effects developed in Plexiglas by the laser beam action. Experimental research was developed in order to highlight the influence exerted by the duration of the CO₂laser beam action on the Plexiglas in obtaining blind and through-holes. Empirical mathematical models and graphical representations allowed formulation of some remarks concerning the results of experimental research.
