Abstract

Parameters on a CO 2 laser machine effects the variations on hole diameters. In this study, a CO 2 laser machine is used for drilling processes. Processing parameters are selected between 1.2-4 mm workpiece thickness, 2500-4000 W laser output power,-4 to 2 laser focus setting, 8-14 bar assisted gas pressure and 500-1200 Hz laser frequency. After the drilling process, with the diameter measurements, pictures were taken with an optic microscope then the effect of the processing parameters on hole diameter variations were investigated.
