Abstract

Processing and operating the surfaces of products by milling or laser beams and adding and forming models of traditional and composite materials by milling or laser have become applied in many different industrial fields and on a large scale today. Laser beam-operated production is classified as one of the directions that rely on photovoltaic operation, or what is known as electro thermal. The mechanism of operation depends on the use of electrical energy to convert it into light or heat energy. Milling operation is also classified as an electromechanical operation, in which the mechanism of operation depends on electro-mechanical energy to convert it to mechanical or kinetic energy. The research aims to conduct a comparative study between milling and laser machining in which the advantages and disadvantages of each technique are identified. It is clear to us that laser beam machining technology is an outstanding technology in solving the mass production requirements in the field of machining surfaces of metal products and jewelry. And an advanced alternative to milling technology. The study is based on the descriptive analytical approach. It has been possible to summarize the advantages of both operations by machining with milling (routers) and operations by machining with laser beams within the manufacturing processes in production through the current study.

Through research studies and surveys of production units specialized in the field of machining on surfaces, it was found that many mechanisms and machines. With which treatments of designs, data, decorative drawings and images can be carried out on the surfaces of the vocabulary of jewelry and metal products with different mechanical techniques. Leading to slow and limited production or single production “one-piece system” Here began the problem of research in the introduction of technologies to meet the requirements, which leads to the need to use an alternative and advanced technology. Milling machining does not meet the requirements of modern operation, and it takes time, effort and money. Most of the operating technologies known to the market are limited to the production of one-piece operation. This obliges specialists to seek the use of advanced alternative technologies to cover mass production in the field of operating product surfaces. Thus, the study deals with the most important solutions related to the operation of surfaces with both milling and laser beams.
