At present, the most widely used equipment in the advertising and woodworking industries is the mechanical engraving machine and the laser engraving machine. It is difficult for many people to accurately distinguish the difference between the two types of equipment. If you don't understand the difference between them, you can't use them accurately for production. In many cases, whether a workpiece is processed by a mechanical engraving machine or a laser engraving machine, many users and friends cannot accurately understand.

The main difference between a mechanical engraving machine and a laser engraving machine is the difference in the way of engraving. The laser engraving machine uses the laser light source as the engraving energy to engrave. The engraving of the mechanical engraving machine uses metal knives to engrave, and the requirements for the types and specifications of the knives are very high.

The main differences between mechanical engraving machine and laser engraving machine are:
1. In terms of engraving precision, laser engraving is more precise than tool engraving, because the diameter of the light source of laser engraving is very small, and the tool engraving itself has a certain knife width, so in terms of accuracy, in addition to the quality of the machine itself Contains the accuracy requirements of the tool.

Second, in the choice of engraving materials, laser engraving is difficult to achieve deep engraving on metal materials, and it may only be coating engraving on the metal surface. The knife engraving machine can achieve a certain depth of engraving, and even cutting.

3. Laser engraving is a non-contact processing object, and there is no need to fix the workpiece for plane engraving. The tool engraving is a contact engraving, so the workpiece is required to be fixed.
4. The laser tube of laser engraving has a certain life time limit, while the mechanical tool engraving has no time limit, but the tool wear will also occur. In the case of serious wear, it is necessary to replace the tool.
5. In the plastic engraving process, laser engraving may produce toxic gas, and a specific air purification system is required to discharge the exhaust gas into the air, while the tool engraving machine will not pollute the air.
6. Laser engraving is very good at engraving photos. It can directly engrave photos in JPG format, but tool engraving cannot do this.
