Application of Infrared Mopa Laser Glass Drilling Machine in Bathroom Products

Breakthrough Laser Technology Makes Glass Drilling More Efficient

Glass is an amorphous solid material with an irregular structure, primarily composed of silicon dioxide. It has high hardness, is brittle, and can crack easily, making it difficult to process. Currently, most fiber pulse products on the market struggle to drill holes larger than 100mm in glass. This is mainly because as the size increases, the focal length of the field lens becomes longer, the focused spot becomes larger, and the processing position is at the edge of the field lens, where the focusing ability deteriorates. These factors affect the stability of the processing and may even prevent processing altogether. This places higher demands on the laser’s beam quality, peak power, energy, and spectrum. The WeiHua Laser Mopa Glass drilling machine uses a 120W Mopa laser with a peak power exceeding 200KW. It employs special technology to effectively suppress nonlinear effects, ensuring that the beam quality is close to the diffraction limit and has a narrow spectrum. Even when focusing with a large field lens, it can still maintain good focusing characteristics, enabling large-diameter drilling in glass. For example, drilling a 150mm diameter hole in 6mm thick glass takes only 130 seconds to complete.

Specific Cases of Glass Laser Drilling Technology

Infrared Mopa glass laser drilling technology can be applied as glass laser marking machine in the bathroom industry, such as float glass, optical glass, microcrystalline glass, conventional soda-lime glass, architectural glass, borosilicate glass, mirrors, etc. It can be used for drilling, frosting, paint stripping, marking, and other processing tasks. In the bathroom industry, glass drilling technology is widely used in the processing of shower room glass, bathroom mirrors, and other glass products. Here are some specific cases:

Shower Room Glass Drilling: Laser drilling machines can precisely drill holes in shower room glass, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the hole positions. For example, the red light Mopa glass laser drilling machine, with its distributed module design, can automatically adjust the glass position, making it suitable for both batch and single-piece processing of shower room glass.

Bathroom Mirror Drilling: Laser technology is also used for drilling and cutting bathroom mirrors, achieving high precision and complex shapes. The solutions provided by glass include multi-hole precision drilling and multi-color printing, ensuring the product's aesthetics and functionality.

Smart Bathroom Products: Smart toilets, thermostatic showers, and smart bathroom mirrors often require precise drilling in glass to install sensors and control panels.

In addition, laser drilling machines have many other applications in glass products, such as switch socket glass panels, glass switches, glass buttons, and glass panels.

Sample Display of Glass Laser Drilling Technology

As shown in the figure, a 2mm hole is drilled in a mirror with a thickness of 2mm. The laser power is set to 90%, frequency to 30kHz, and pulse width to 20ns. After drilling, the paint layer damage is less than 200μm. The specific hole size and position can be adjusted according to requirements.
