Laser engraving and cutting, the process is very simple, as the use of computers and printers to print on paper. You can make use of in the Win98 / Win2000 / WinXP environment a variety of graphics processing software, such as CorelDraw and other design, scanned graphics, vector graphic and a variety of CAD files can easily "print" to the engraving machine. The only difference is, print the toner applied to the paper, and laser engraving is almost all of the material above the laser onto woodwork, jak tablets, plastic sheeting, metal plates, stone and other.
Laser engraving by engraving in different ways can be divided into lattice carvings and vector cutting:
Lattice sculpture
Engraving resembles high-resolution dot matrix printing. Laser head from side to side, each carving out a series of points of a line, then the laser head moves up and down while carving out a number of lines, and finally constitute a full-page image or text. Graphics, text and vector graphics can be used to scan a dot engraving.
Vector Cutting
And the dot engraving, vector cutting outer contour in the graphic line for. We usually use this model in wood, Senanayake tablets, paper and other materials through the cut, it can operate in a variety of marking material surface.
An engraving machine performance, mainly by engraving speed, carving strength and spot size is determined.
Engraving speed
Engraving speed refers to the speed of the laser head movement, usually IPS (inches / sec) that bring high-speed productivity. Speed is also used for controlling the cutting depth, for a given laser intensity, the slower the speed, the depth of cutting or carving the greater. You can use the engraving machine panel to adjust the speed of the computer can also use the print driver to adjust. In the range of 1% to 100%, 1% adjustment. Hummer machine advanced motion control system can make your high-speed carving, still get ultra-fine quality of the carving sculpture strength
Carving strength refers to the strength of the material onto the surface of the laser. For a particular engraving speed, intensity, the greater the depth of cutting or carving the greater. You can adjust the intensity of use of the engraving machine panel, also use the computer's printer driver to adjust. In the range of 1% to 100%, 1% adjustment. The greater the intensity, the equivalent of the greater speed. Depth of cut more deeply spot size
Beam spot size can be used to adjust the lens of different focal lengths. Small spot lens for high-resolution engraving. Carving large spot lens for lower resolution, but for vector cutting, it is the best option. Standard configuration of the new device is 2.0-inch lens. Its spot size in the middle, for a variety of occasions.
General engraving machine can engrave the following materials: wood, plexiglass, metal plates, glass, stone, crystal, Corian, paper, color plates, aluminum, leather, resin, spray metal.
