    Marking and engraving of aluminum was carried out by a CuBr (copper bromide) laser operating at the wavelength of 511 nm with a pulse duration of 30 ns. The reflection was investigated of the laser-ablated aluminum surface depending on the laser beam scanning speed and the distance between the laser lines. The changes of the aluminum surface were observed before and after laser processing by an optical microscope and visually. The laser marking quality was estimated by measuring the reflection of the irradiated aluminum surface by an optical spectrometer. The dependence was analyzed of the contrast on the speed for different steps in laser marking of areas of the surface of aluminum samples. Marking by a CuBr laser shows a potential for good quality marking of barcodes and QR codes on aluminum products.

    Statistical process control (SPC) can help manufacturers improve the quality of their products. This paper describes a relatively simple and effective method and algorithm to adjust the accuracy of parts produced on CNC machine tools using the methods of statistical process control. Examined the possibilities of the proposed method by computer simulation of the process. By using the proposed algorithm scattering of size is placed in the middle of the tolerance zone. Various variants carrying out the method are proposed adequate on the machining time during processing details in the sample. This can optimize the total time for processing of the batch.

    APPLICATION OF A FINITE ELEMENT MODEL TO OBTAIN THE INFLUENCE OF THE TREATMENT’S POWER, REFLECION AND FOCAL DIAMETER IN LASER TEXTURING OF ALUMINUM
    (2023) ;
    Ivo Draganov
    In this work, a numerical model of laser texturing is considered. A finite element model of a representative sample of pure aluminum was created. The impact of a laser pulse was simulated, assuming a Gaussian volume distribution of the heat flux. Material properties are assumed to be constant and latent heat is accounted for. Results are obtained for the thermal field and the width of the vaporized zone, assuming that the crater is characterized by its maximum width. The numerical model was used to study the influence of pulse power density, reflection, focal diameter and pulse duration. The ablation threshold at different laser pulse durations was determinate.

    Laser technologies are a major priority in the development of our economy and society in the 21st century. One of the main applications of lasers is laser marking / engraving. The laser engraving method is widely used in many industries, including the glass industry. There are many ways to engrave glass, for example sandblasting, but it is time consuming, expensive and not as precise as laser engraving. The report contains glass engraving quality with CO2 laser, using different power and speed values.

    The quality of the marked surfaces changes the optical characteristics. The aim of the study is to optimize the contrast in laser marking of Steel 75. The influence of the step in the raster marking and the influence of the repetition frequency of the pulses on the reflection coefficient were analysed. The experimental investigations of the reflectance were carried out using a spectrophotometer. For the marked samples, it was found that when directing electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength in the studied range, there are areas with absorption and reflection of light. The reflectance is plotted as a function of marking step and laser frequency for the marked Steel 75 samples.

    Describe the parameters influencing the depth of the laser marking of textile products. Experimental results are presented to determine the quality of cuts on felt surfaces of different colors at specific parameters - power and speed. Approximately 100 extras were made on two materials with a change in laser power and speed. As a result, the optimal results for cutting and marking a felt are shown.

    The advent of laser technology in textiles industry has established a new innovative solution, which successfully prevents some of the weaknesses in the conventional technologies. Lasers are being used in Laser Marking (Only the surface of fabric is processed, fading), Laser Engraving (Controlled cutting to depth). It has been used extensively as the replacement of some conventional dry processes like sand blasting, hand sanding, destroying, and grinding etc., which are potentially harmful and disadvantageous for the environment. The article considers some innovative laser technologies, such as marking and engraving on various textile materials. The laser applications for leather and textile processing were analysed. The report overviews systems and ways of laser marking and engraving implementations. Classification of markings was proposed. The advantages of laser marking and engraving technologies in textile fields were pointed.
