On April 24th, the School of Optics and Electronic Information of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan Huagong Laser Engineering Co., Ltd. and Wuhan Huari Precision Laser Co., Ltd. held a technology exchange meeting. At the meeting, teachers from the Laser Direction Research Group of Huazhong University of Science and Technology introduced After the respective research directions and results, the two companies raised the need for technical problems to be solved. Through technical exchanges, both the school and the enterprise initially determined cooperation in laser core devices, laser beam shaping, laser processing mechanism and control, and other fields. The meeting also identified the research direction and the necessary hardware facilities for the university and enterprises to build a laser technology research and development platform.
Prior to this, Huazhong University of Science and Technology agreed with the two companies, Huaguang Laser and Huari Laser, to establish a laser precision machining R&D platform based on the school. Enterprises participate in the construction of this platform and use this platform as their basic research institute. Engaged in basic science and applied scientific research, the research direction includes four categories: laser light source and laser device; optical system and motion control; mechanism of action and processing technology; material characterization and on-line detection. This technical exchange aims to further clarify the R & D platform The research direction, and initially established a number of schools - corporate joint research projects, to pull the construction of R & D platform.
Prof. Zhu Xiao, Professor of Huazhong University of Science and Technology and director of the National Engineering Research Center of Laser Processing emphasized in his speech that the laser specialty of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Huagong Laser, and Huari Laser are two companies that are the research and development bases and industrial substrates of the National Engineering Research Center for Laser Processing. We must shoulder the heavy responsibility of the national team for laser science and technology development in China. Under the background of Sino-US trade conflicts and the western government’s tactics to curb the emerging industries in our country, schools should combine basic science and applied scientific research with corporate needs, and cooperate with enterprises to promote The industrialization of scientific research results. This efficient school-enterprise cooperation is conducive to the simultaneous exertion of the specialty of universities and enterprises and the mobilization of the enthusiasm of both parties. It is an important step towards the original innovation and technological breakthrough of the entire laser industry.
During the conference, the teachers of the Laser Direction Research Group of Huazhong University of Science and Technology demonstrated the research progress in recent years and introduced the possible practical applications of the academic results in combination with the needs of the company. After that, the technical R&D personnel of HG Laser and Huari Laser introduced the two companies. The basic conditions and technical requirements of divisions and product lines. The final school teachers and corporate R&D personnel conducted free-combination academic exchanges. Through free discussion on specific technical issues, school teachers condensed a series of sciences from the company’s needs. Problems, and further abstract future research directions for university-enterprise co-construction laser technology research and development platform. Based on these research directions, school teachers and corporate R&D personnel also initially identified the specific technical issues for the R&D platform construction of instruments and equipment needed.
According to preliminary statistics, the meeting achieved 12 joint cooperation research projects, and Huazhong University of Science and Technology will cooperate with HGL and Huari Laser to sign certain technical cooperation agreements on these research topics recently. In addition, the R&D platform for laser technology of Huazhong University of Science and Technology and Huagong Lasers, the construction of Huari Laser Basic Research Institute will be officially launched in the near future.
