STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Empirical Constant: 0.408 --> No Conversion Required
Laser Energy during Cut Rate: 10.397 Watt --> 10.397 Watt No Conversion Required
Vaporisation Energy of Material: 9.999998 Watt Per Cubic Millimeter --> 9999998000 Watt Per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Laser Beam Area at Focal Point: 2.099999 Square Millimeter --> 2.099999E-06 Square Meter (Check conversion here)
Cutting Rate: 10.1 Millimeter per Minute --> 0.000168333333333333 Meter per Second (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

t = (A₀*P_out)/(E*A_beam*V_c) --> (0.408*10.397)/(9999998000*2.099999E-06*0.000168333333333333)

Evaluating ... ...

How does Laser Beam Machining work ?

Laser (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) beam machining (LBM) utilises the energy from the coherent light beams called laser (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation). The basic principle utilised in LBM is that under proper conditions light energy of a particular frequency is used to stimulate the electrons in an atom to emit additional light with exactly the same characteristics of the original light source.
