CUTTING APPARATUS FOR FIBER-REINFORCED RESIN

摘要

Disclosed is a cutting apparatus for a fiber-reinforced resin, which enables the reduction in processing cost and the prevention of the deterioration in quality of a cut surface. The cutting apparatus comprises a laser radiation unit (10) from which a laser beam to be delivered to a fiber-reinforced fiber (2) to be cut is ejected in pulses and a cutting head (30) through which the laser beam ejected from the laser radiation unit (10) is ejected to the fiber-reinforced resin (2), wherein the pulse width of the laser beam falls within the range from 1 fs to 999 ps inclusive and the relative moving speed of the cutting head (30) relative to the fiber-reinforced resin (2) is about 1.5 m/min or more.
