Precision Laser Engraving

In the field of modern industry and design, precision laser engraving technology has become a highly innovative and practical method. With the advancement of laser technology and the expansion of its application fields, precision laser engraving plays an increasingly important role in manufacturing, artistic creation and personalized products.

Precision laser engraving is a technology that uses high-energy laser beams to cut or engrave various materials in a non-contact manner. By precisely controlling the power, focus and scanning speed of the laser, it can achieve meticulous pattern and text engraving with micron-level accuracy. Unlike traditional mechanical engraving, laser engraving melts or vaporizes materials through heat energy to form the desired shape and texture.

The importance of precision engraving in modern industry

The importance of precision laser engraving technology in modern industry is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. High efficiency and high precision: Laser engraving can complete the production of complex patterns in a short time and maintain extremely high precision, which meets the needs of modern rapid production.

2. Multi-field application: Whether in electronics, aerospace, automobile manufacturing, or art design and personalized product customization, precision laser engraving has greatly improved the flexibility and creativity of manufacturing.

3. Cost-effectiveness: Compared with traditional processing methods, laser engraving usually has lower material waste and less post-processing requirements, thereby reducing production costs.

4. Customization and personalization: As the market demand for personalized products increases, precision laser engraving technology provides designers and manufacturers with unlimited creative space and flexible design possibilities.

With the continuous advancement of technology, precision laser engraving will play an increasingly important role in future industrial development, driving various industries to achieve higher production efficiency and innovation capabilities.

CO2 laser engraving is a laser processing technology widely used in industry and artistic creation. Its working principle involves the generation, regulation and material processing of lasers. The following is a detailed description of the working principle of CO2 laser engraving:

CO2 laser engraving working principle

1. Generation of laser

The core part of the CO2 laser is a laser cavity filled with gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen (N2) and helium (He). Under the action of an external high-voltage power supply, these gas molecules are excited to generate laser photons.

The photons in the laser cavity are repeatedly reflected between the reflectors. After reaching a certain intensity, a high-energy laser beam is emitted from the laser exit mirror.

2. Adjustment of the laser beam

The emitted laser beam is adjusted through a series of optical elements (such as lenses and reflectors) to form the desired focus.

The adjustment of the focal position is crucial to the accuracy and depth of laser engraving. The smaller the focal position, the higher the energy density of the laser and the better the engraving effect.

3. Engraving process

When the laser beam is irradiated on the surface of the material, the high temperature of the laser will quickly heat the material. The wavelength of CO2 lasers usually has good absorption for non-metallic materials (such as wood, plastic, paper, leather and cloth), and quickly vaporizes or melts the surface of the material.

The laser control system will accurately remove the material by scanning the laser beam on the surface of the material according to the preset pattern, text or design to form the desired engraving effect.

Since laser engraving is a non-contact processing, it will not cause mechanical pressure on the material, reducing the risk of deformation and damage.

4. Cooling and fume extraction

During the engraving process, smoke and gas will be generated when the material evaporates, so it is usually equipped with an extraction system to keep the working environment clean and safe while improving the engraving quality.

CO2 laser engraving relies on the high energy density and precise control of the laser to achieve efficient engraving and cutting of various materials. Its advantages in precision, speed and processing range make it an important processing tool in current industrial and artistic design.

1. Adopt advanced DSP control system with "power-off memory" and "automatic standby" function.

2. Imported laser and optical devices, good spot quality, stable output power and low maintenance cost.

3. Precision linear guide rail, fast speed, high precision, strong bearing capacity and good rigidity.

4. Enclosed constant temperature cooling water system to ensure the laser tube works stably for a long time.

5. Comply with European CE safety standard and equipped with induction door, which will stop automatically when the laser is opened accidentally.

6. Advanced variable speed system, realizing the function that the laser can change speed instantly according to the need of curved and straight lines and self-adjust the hourly speed when cutting, so that the cutting edge is smooth and the curve is smooth, and The cutting accuracy is high, fast and can come out with any graphics.

7. Double-head and multi-head cutting system can be selected to improve production efficiency and reduce production cost according to customer requirements. Different laser power and table cutting size options.
