What is a laser engraving machine? A laser engraving machine is a device that uses a laser beam for high-precision engraving. It is also a precise and versatile technology. A laser engraving machine uses a focused laser beam to remove material from the surface of an object, so it can create permanent marks, designs or patterns. The laser inside the laser engraving machine is its core. At the same time, laser engraving is a non-contact process with high efficiency and high precision. Therefore, it is suitable for a variety of materials and applications. Laser engraving can also make the engraving effect more delicate, which is no less than the craftsmanship of manual engraving. It is precisely because the laser engraving machine has so many advantages that the application of laser engraving machines has gradually replaced traditional engraving equipment and methods. Become the main engraving equipment.
Laser engraving machines can be roughly divided into: non-metallic laser engraving machines and metal laser engraving machines.
Non-metallic engraving machines are mainly CO2 laser engraving machines, which are often used for engraving non-metallic materials such as wood, leather, glass, etc.
Metal engraving machines can be divided into: metal fiber laser engraving machines, which are mainly used for engraving metal materials and have higher processing accuracy and efficiency.
Working principle of laser engraving machine:
The laser engraving machine irradiates the surface of the material with a laser beam, and uses the high temperature of the laser to cause a physical or chemical reaction on the surface of the material, thereby achieving the effect of engraving or cutting. The laser engraving machine is usually composed of a laser, a software control system, an optical system, and a workbench. The laser emits a laser beam, which is focused on the surface of the material through an optical system (such as a lens and a reflector), and the software control system ensures that the laser beam is engraved along a predetermined path.
For example, using a laser engraving machine to achieve deep engraving of a 3D model requires support for laser power adjustment, focus control, layer-by-layer engraving technology, and software tools. Compared with traditional 2D engraving, 3D deep engraving requires deeper engraving on the surface of the material to engrave three-dimensional patterns and shapes. Although laser engraving takes a relatively long time to process, it can achieve deeper and more durable markings. Laser engraving is more attractive where resistance to wear and environmental influences is required.
As a powerful tool for modern manufacturing and personalized customization, laser engraving machines have shown great potential in many fields with their high precision, high efficiency and wide applicability. In the future, with the continuous advancement of science and technology and further innovation of technology, laser engraving machines will provide more precise and efficient solutions for more industries and users, becoming a symbol of innovation and quality.
