Laser engraving machine, as its name suggests, is an advanced equipment that uses laser to engrave materials that need to be engraved. Laser engraving machine is different from mechanical engraving machine and other traditional manual engraving methods. Mechanical engraving machine uses mechanical means, such as diamond and other materials with extremely high hardness to engrave other things. What are the requirements of laser engraving machine in machine setting?
Dot matrix engraving dot matrix engraving is similar to high-definition dot matrix printing. The laser head swings left and right, carving out a line composed of a series of points each time, and then the laser head moves up and down at the same time to carve out multiple lines, finally forming a full page image or text. Scanned graphics, text and vectorized graphics and texts can be engraved with dot matrix.
Vector cutting is different from dot matrix carving. Vector cutting is carried out on the outer contour of graphics and texts. We usually use this mode to cut through wood, acrylic, paper and other materials, and we can also mark the surface of a variety of materials.
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 is 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 engraving machine panel to adjust the speed, or you can use the computer operation software to adjust the speed. In the range of 1% to 100%, the adjustment range is 1%. The advanced motion control system of the motor can make you still get ultra-fine carving quality when carving at high speed.
Engraving intensity: engraving intensity refers to the intensity of the laser hitting 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 engraving machine panel to adjust the intensity, or you can use the computer operation software to adjust the intensity. In the range of 1% to 100%, the adjustment range is 1%. The greater the intensity, the smaller the speed. The deeper the cutting depth is
Spot size: the spot size of the laser beam can be adjusted by using lenses with different focal lengths. The lens with small light spot is used for high-resolution engraving. The lens with large light spot is used for engraving with low resolution, but it is the best choice for vector cutting.
