What Are The Types Of CO2 Laser Tubes

The laser tubes usually used in CO2 laser machines are categorized into DC glass、RF metal tubes and ceramic tubes. Let’s delve deeper into some key aspects of these three common core types so you can choose the best one for your machines.

1. Glass Laser Tubes

Glass Laser Tubes

Glass laser tubes are cylindrical tubes made of glass that are used as a medium for generating laser beams. It can come in various sizes and shapes, depending on the specific application and power requirements. Glass is a poor thermal conductor, which means circulating water is needed to assist in the removal of heat. So nearly all glass tubes need to be water-cooled, without a water-cooling system, a glass laser tube would overheat and become inoperable.
Glass CO2 laser tubes rely on direct current, DC, to excite the carbon dioxide gas. Machines with DC tubes are mostly used for nonmetal materials, such as acrylic, wood, leather, plastic, paper, or bamboo.

2. Metal Laser Tubes

Sealing Parts For Metal Laser Tubes

Metal laser tubes are sealed metal chambers made of metal and ceramic, which contain the laser gas mixture. They are air-cooled and their gas is excited by radio frequency alternating current (RF). Properly regulating temperature only requires fans, which are built directly into laser machines.
Metal is typically stainless steel or other durable alloys and ceramics is usually alumina, they are brazed to form a feedthrough of up to 1.0 x 10 -10 atm-cc/sec. In conclusion, metal laser tubes are crucial components of industrial laser cutting systems. They provide the power and control required to generate laser beams for metal cutting, marking, and welding applications. Whether using CO2 or fiber laser technology, these tubes allow for precise and efficient processing of various metal materials.

3. Ceramic Core Tubes

Ceramic Core Tubes

Ceramic core is manufactured by fusing two halves of the ceramic core together at 800°C. CO2 lasers have evolved from glass-tube, high-voltage designs to metal-tube RF electrode technology. But recently it’s common for CO2 Laser manufacturers to use pure ceramic core inside their laser tubes.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Different Laser Tubes:

and speed higher.
2. Maintenance cost lower.
3. Longevity and it is 4-5 times longer than glass tubes.
The gas will not
pollute and leak.
Disdvantage Tubes require frequent
replacement and have a
short longevity.
Higher cost 1.Higher cost
2.Difficult maintenance
3. In comparison with a metal-sealed laser, another disadvantage of ceramic core lasers is their lower relative heat conductivity.

The most recent applications of power modules are for electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), call for higher voltage and power from smaller circuits, requiring circuit materials capable of providing high voltage isolation with the efficient dissipation of heat from densely packed semiconductor devices such as IGBTs and MOSFETs. DBC and AMB Ceramic Substrates for Power Modules are connection components in which copper plates are bonded to each surfaces of a ceramic plate. These ceramic substrates are with a high thermal conductivity and a excellent electric conductivity of copper and a high insulation property. The high electrical conductivity of copper supports high current; the excellent dielectric properties of the ceramic substrates enable the high isolation needed for densely packed circuits in power modules. The CTE of ceramic substrates aligns more closely with that of the metal traces on the substrate and the components soldered to the substrate. That helps minimize stresses that can lead to component and solder joint fractures.
Ceramic substrates are implying copper layers on the ceramic plates, then etching with circuit pattern. The ceramic materials include Alumina, Aluminum Nitride, and Silicon Nitride. Copper is bonded to ceramic with different methods, including direct bond copper (DBC), direct plating copper (DPC) or active metal brazing (AMB) processes.

Porous Ceramics Applications: Atomizer Cartridges, Atomizing Core, Atomizer Core

Preface: atomization, the process of turning liquid into small droplets.
Nebulization products: humidifier, facial steamer, fog machine, medical nebulizer and so on.
With the development of science and technology, the atomization method is also diversified: high-pressure gas atomization, ultrasonic atomization, microwave heating atomization, resistance heating atomization.
As the Key of the atomization technology, the atomization core determines the atomization effect and experience.
Nowadays, ceramics in the field of fogging technology burst of vitality, become the standard of high-quality fog core.

1. Why use ceramic as material and what is the principle of atomization?

Ceramic is not the only material applied to the atomizing core in electronic atomizers.
Fiber rope, organic cotton, non-woven fabric and other materials have been applied to make atomizing core.
The ceramic applied in the atomizer core is not the same as the ceramic we commonly see on the dining table, it is a special kind of “porous ceramic“.
Porous Ceramics
This is a photo of the ceramic after magnifying it tens of thousands of times. In a ceramic core, there are about hundreds of millions of micro and nano pores like this one.

The main components of ceramic atomizer core are originated from nature, after high temperature sintering, a lot of tiny micro-pores are formed inside, and its average pore size is equivalent to one-fifth of a hair strand.
These tiny microporous holes are the key to the ceramic atomizer core’s ability to achieve stable liquid conduction and liquid locking functions. Due to surface tension and capillary effect, the liquid can penetrate into the atomizer core evenly and adsorb on the surface of the atomizer core.

2. What are the advantages of ceramic atomizer core?

Compared with the atomizing core composed of other materials, such as heating wire and fiber rope, heating wire and organic cotton, the Ceramic atomizing core is characterized by a faster rise in temperature during the heating process, better temperature uniformity and more precise control of the temperature range.

ALN Ceramic Heat Sinks For Thermal Management
Hybrid and electric vehicles (HEV hybrid vehicles, BEV pure electric vehicles) especially require drive motors with the highest possible power output, long service life and extremely high reliability in the smallest space.
This is where efficient liquid coolers offer decisive advantages: due to their very low thermal resistance, both thermally and electrically, since the ceramic heat sink itself is already an excellent insulator.

Cooling in energy production

Ceramic Heat Sinks For Thermal Management
High concentration photovoltaics (CPV/HCPV) is a futuristic technology that harvests energy from light: sunlight beams are tightly bundled together and concentrated on a small surface using high-power solar cells. If not cooled effectively, they will be destroyed in a short time.
In order to operate a CPV system at maximum efficiency, effective cooling is required, even during operation.

Cooling in LED lighting technology

LEDs have many advantages over traditional light bulbs. A key benefit is significantly longer lifespan. However, this depends heavily on the temperature the LED chip reaches during operation. A general rule of thumb is: if the operating temperature is reduced by 10°C, the life of the product will be doubled. This is why cooling LED chips is so important.

A Brief History Of Oxygen Sensors

Function

The oxygen or lambda sensor in a properly functioning exhaust system monitors the A/F ratio, as often as one hundred times per second, and reports this information to the vehicle’s ECU or engine control unit (also referred to as the PCM or ECM). The proper adjustments are then made to ensure that this ratio is ideal or stoichiometric, helping the automobile burn fuel more efficiently. Most oxygen sensors use the core material of zirconia, which produces voltage in relation to the amount of oxygen in the exhaust.
Zirconia Sensor Heater

Evolution

Oxygen sensors were developed by the Robert Bosch Company and first used on Volvo applications in the late 1970’s. Originally, automotive oxygen sensors had only one or two wires and were made from zirconia in a thimble shape. They relied upon the heat in the exhaust system to warm them to their required operating temperature. The problem associated with this concept was that it took a very long time for the sensors to go from nonoperational (thus leaving the ECU in open loop mode) to operational (which is necessary for closed loop mode), typically over a minute. Some automobile manufacturers purposely retarded ignition timing to heat the exhaust to afford faster oxygen sensor and catalyst warm up. When located close to the engine (a requirement to warm the sensors to the adequate operating temperature) it was not possible to monitor the exhaust gases from both engine banks – another downfall of early sensor designs.
In the early 1980’s, oxygen sensor manufacturers added a small rod type heater in the center of the thimble that warmed the ceramic thimble to its operating temperature much faster. The heated sensors could be mounted downstream next to the catalytic converter – a more desirable location because the exhaust gases were in a more homogenous state and the potential for sensor overheating was reduced dramatically. The first versions were three wire sensors that employed a case ground for the sensor signal. Later applications employed four wire versions with an isolated ground.
Starting in the early 1990’s for California vehicles & 1996 for the other 49 states, OBDII controls were implemented. The requirements of the oxygen sensor increased dramatically. New technologies were developed and sensors were placed in more locations, thus increasing their feedback to the ECU. The current narrow band sensors, which only allowed for readings of “rich” or “lean,” were replaced. The new generation of four and five wire wide band sensors are now being employed on many vehicle applications. These sensors allow for exact measurements of A/F ratio, allowing for true emission control.
While the first sensor equipped vehicles had a single sensor, today’s vehicles can have up to eight. The original one wire thimble sensor has been joined by heated, planar, titania, FLO (fast light off), UFLO (ultra-fast light off), wideband and A/F ratio sensors. The modern oxygen sensor, due to its sophistication and placement, is what allows for the fuel injected and low emission engines of the modern vehicle.
