Common knowledge about laser engraving and cutting technology

Using laser engraving and cutting, the process is very simple, just like using a computer and a printer to print on paper. You can use a variety of graphics processing software, such as CorelDraw, to design in the Win98/Win2000/WinXP environment. Scanned graphics, vectorized graphics and various CAD files can be easily printed to the engraving machine. The only difference is that printing applies toner to paper, while laser engraving is to shoot the laser onto almost all materials such as wood products, acrylic particles, plastic plates, metal plates, and stone.

Laser engraving can be divided into dot matrix engraving and vector cutting according to different engraving methods: dot matrix engraving is similar to high-definition dot matrix printing. The laser head swings left and right to engrave a line consisting of a series of dots each time, and then the laser head moves up and down to engrave multiple lines at the same time, and finally constitutes a full-page image or text. The scanned graphics, text and vectorized graphics can all be engraved by dot matrix. Vector cutting is different from dot matrix engraving. Vector cutting is performed on the outer contour of the graphic. We usually use this mode for penetrating cutting on wood, acrylic, paper and other materials, as well as marking on the surface of a variety of materials.

The performance of an engraving machine is mainly determined by the engraving speed, engraving intensity and spot size. Engraving speed Engraving speed refers to the moving speed of the laser head, usually expressed in IPS (inch/second), high speed brings High production efficiency. Speed u200bu200bis also used to control the depth of cutting. For a specific laser intensity, the slower the speed, the greater the depth of cutting or engraving. You can use the panel of the engraving machine to adjust the speed, or use the computer's print driver to adjust. In the range of 1% to 100%, the adjustment range is 1%.

The advanced motion control system of Hummer machine can make you still get super-fine engraving quality when engraving at high speed. Engraving intensity refers to the intensity of the laser that hits the surface of the material. For a specific engraving speed, the greater the intensity, the greater the depth of cutting or engraving. You can use the panel of the engraving machine to adjust the intensity, or you can use the computer's print driver to adjust. In the range of 1% to 100%, the adjustment range is 1%. The greater the intensity, the greater the speed. The cutting depth is also deeper, the spot size, and the beam spot size can be adjusted by lenses with different focal lengths. A lens with a small spot is used for high-resolution engraving. A lens with a large spot is used for lower resolution engraving, but it is the best choice for vector cutting. The standard configuration of the new device is a 2.0-inch lens. The spot size is in the middle, which is suitable for various occasions.

General engraving machine can engrave the following materials: wood products, plexiglass, metal plate, glass, stone, crystal, Corian, paper, two-color plate, alumina, leather, resin, sprayed metal.
