What is a laser engraving machine?
A laser engraving machine is the equipment that uses the thermal energy of laser to engrave the suitable materials. It mainly consists of three parts, namely the laser, the controller and the working table.
The laser engraver is different from the mechanical machine and other traditional manual engraving methods. This machine adopts computer numerical control technology as the basis and adopts laser as the processing medium. And it uses laser beams to make permanent marks on the surface of various materials. The materials physically melt and vaporize under the irradiation of the laser engraving, resulting in engraving marks. Since it is a non-contact processing, it does not cause mechanical deformation or damage to the workpiece.
The laser engraver has many types. Today, the most engraver is CNC laser engraver as a console mod referring to Fiber laser engraver and CO2 laser engraver. The smaller engraver such as mini laser engraver also has different types. Portable laser engraver is also known as handheld laser engraver, which can flexibly engrave cumbersome, huge, immovable objects and create a smooth, clean, high-contrast result. The new engraving technology referring to 3D printer with laser engraver combines 3D printing technology with laser engraving technique for 3D printer laser engraver.
Other types of engraving machines such as desktop laser engravers and DIY laser engravers are more personalized and support your own innovation products of laser engraving.
Application:
The engraver can be used in various industries, such as decoration, packaging, etc. And the laser engraved gifts are more popular engraving products in the market, and laser engraved photo with clean surface, contrast pattern and special design has become popular products among the laser engraved gifts.
How does a laser machine work?
In laser engraving, the heat generated by the laser beam melts the surface of the workpiece and evaporates it. This is called “wearing down”. The depression in the surface of the workpiece thus obtained is the engraving.
What is a laser cutter and what is a laser engraving machine?
In laser cutting, the laser machine cuts the material and in laser engraving, the laser machine engraves an illustration in the material.
Our laser cutters can laser engrave as well as laser cut. You can easily indicate by means of colors whether you want to create an engraving or cutting line.
When engraving, the machine places short, light cutting lines next to each other so that a whole surface is engraved. When cutting, the machine runs along the single line shown in the drawing and cuts it through and through with more power.
What can you use a laser cutter or laser engraving machine for?
With the laser cutter or laser engraving machine you can easily process many materials. If you want to know which material you can laser or engrave, take a look at our materials list .
Which materials can I process with a laser cutter or laser engraving machine?
On this page you will find a materials list for both the laser cutter and the laser engraving machine. It is simply explained with a + or a – whether the chosen material can be engraved or cut.
How does a laser cutter work and how does a laser engraving machine work?
The laser cutter or laser engraving machine works by means of an X and Y axis movement. This allows the laser head of the laser machine to reach any desired location. The laser tube is brought forward to the laser head by means of mirrors. In the laser head, the laser sample is bundled into a focused laser point. This makes the laser beam so strong that materials can be cut or engraved with it.
What exactly does a laser cutter and laser engraving machine cost?
What a good laser cutter or engraving machine costs is often asked. The parts that are processed in a machine determine whether it is a good or less good laser machine or engraving machine. By replacing the plastic wear parts for steel parts and using the correct brand of parts, you will get a good laser or engraving machine. Many customers ask what the difference is with a machine that they import themselves or a machine that they buy from us.
The answer to that is quite simple. The parts differ. In the long run, our laser machines last much longer than the plastic version.
