In 2014, the global glass machinery laser market increased steeply, and in 2014, the performance will be more impressive, our country is still the most important application of lasers and laser systems in the glass machinery industry, which benefits from the continuous development of our country's glass machinery industry and the support of policies and regulations. In different industries, more and more innovative applications have promoted the development of our country's laser glass machinery industry.
In 2014, the overall revenue of our country's laser glass machinery industry was equal to that of 2013, and showed a trend of first rising and then declining. In the meantime, the laser system used in the processing of glass edging machine parts has a large share of the total sales revenue of the laser and glass machinery industry in our country. In the first half of 2014, the demand for high-power laser equipment in the glass edging machine sheet and glass machinery industry increased significantly year-on-year, and declined slightly in the second half of the year.
With the advantages of low cost and high beam quality, the fiber laser in the glass machinery industry was quickly accepted by the users of the laser cutting machine. Fiber lasers are suitable for both low-power marking machines and medium- and high-power cutting machines, and continue to break the power ceiling.
At present, our country relies on imported high-power fiber lasers. With the recent successful joint development of domestic kilowatt-level all-fiber lasers, our country has mastered the key skills and related skills of the integration and large-scale production of kilowatt-level all-fiber lasers, and has achieved important applications in the fields of metal sheet cutting and welding.
In terms of fiber laser skills, a new generation of fiber lasers appeared at LASER World of LASER World 2014; Famous domestic and foreign enterprises such as Han's Laser and Jinan Jinqiang will also demonstrate their leading laser production and processing skills at LASER World of PHOTONICS CHINA. It is worth mentioning that Han's Laser's fiber laser cutting machine has won many honors, it has the best function matching, the company's fiber series laser cutting machine has occupied a large share of domestic shopping malls, and in 2014, it has achieved good sales results.
Glass edging machine, thin plate processing industry, cutting machine, occupies an important part of the glass edging machine parts processing market. With the deepening of the competition, the profit space of all stages of the sheet metal glass machinery industry chain is shrinking, and the room for price reduction is decreasing. The competition in our country's sheet metal malls will be transformed into a competition for high-quality, high-skill goods.
In recent years, the overall degree of automation and flexibility of the domestic industry is not high, and the ability to complete sets of lines needs to be improved. Therefore, under the current situation that the glass machinery industry is in urgent need of promotion, the kilowatt-level high-power laser cutting machine has been widely used and has become the highlight of the rapid increase of sheet metal machinery in our country. At the same time, with the progress of science and technology, laser network 3D incision remote incision has become an industry buzzword, and the global glass machinery industry laser and glass edging machine sheet processing equipment manufacturing company Trumpf founded the TRUMPF laser network, that is, two glass machines use a light source, according to different application categories, the use of laser network to achieve the combination of other glass machinery types.
It can be seen that laser system suppliers strive to carry forward the advantages of various skills, combine innovative laser skills with mechatronics skills and new information skills, and provide a more powerful laser processing system for the sheet metal glass edging machine parts and glass machinery industry.
