How to choose a laser engraving machine?

With the rapid development of science and technology of the times, more and more lasers are integrated into our daily lives, and are widely used in various fields such as industry, medical treatment, commerce, military, scientific research and so on. Many people are not unfamiliar with the term laser, and in the field of laser engraving, there are various brands of laser machines on the market, which are dazzling. Guangzhou Dragon Diamond 10-year professional laser equipment manufacturer, teaches everyone how to choose a good laser engraving machine.

The working principle of the laser engraving machine is that the laser produced by the laser is transmitted by the reflecting mirror and irradiated on the processed item through the focusing mirror, so that the surface of the processed item is subjected to strong heat and the temperature increases sharply, and it melts or vaporizes rapidly, in line with the running track of the laser head. So as to achieve the purpose of processing. Connect to the computer via a data cable or USB, install the matching engraving software in the computer, and then use the software to input the text and patterns you need into the laser engraving machine control system. The whole operation process is very simple, and users do not need to learn the knowledge of laser engraving machine professionally.

After understanding the working principle, let's take a look at which aspects should be used to select the machine?

1. Determine the processing material: According to the different laser generation, lasers are divided into CO2 and optical fibers. CO2 is mainly used for non-metal engraving and cutting, and optical fibers are mainly used for metal marking. Generally speaking, the laser engraving machine refers to the CO2 laser engraving machine. , Also called carbon dioxide laser engraving machine, it has three basic functions of engraving, cutting and hollowing.

2. Determine the content of the product: Determine the processing method according to the content of the product, whether it is engraving or cutting. If it is engraving, it depends on the specific requirements of material hardness and engraving depth. If it is cutting, determine the maximum cutting thickness of the material, so as to choose the right one. The laser tube power.

3. Determine the product size: Choose the appropriate model according to the product size. Generally, the laser engraving machine is named after the flat processing format. For example, 1390 is the processing format of 1300*900 mm. But note that the larger the format is not the better. In addition to the high price under the same configuration, the average laser output of some poor-quality machinery and equipment will be unstable at each point of the large format, resulting in slightly worse accuracy. So choosing the right countertop is the most correct.

4. Laser power: According to the different processing materials and content, the appropriate laser tube wattage should be selected. For crafts such as carving bamboo, wood, paper, etc., high-power laser tubes are not needed, but if carving ceramics, glass, purple sand, stones, etc., harder The material needs to increase the power appropriately. If you cut thick acrylic boards and other plates, you must choose a high-power one according to the thickness to achieve a multiplier effect.

5. Engraving speed: The speed of speed directly affects shipments and costs, and is often the key to receiving orders and making money. So how to determine the speed of speed, it is recommended to send materials directly to the manufacturer for proofing, and engrave the same material and pattern size , Under the same effect, the comparison speed is fast and slow. Don't just look at the parameters on the Internet. The engraving speed is different for different materials and effects.

6. Engraving accuracy: The biggest difference between laser engraving and traditional engraving equipment and manual engraving is its high accuracy. It also compares the accuracy of processing the same workpiece. Check whether the engraving shading is smooth, whether the writing is clear, whether the cutting edge is smooth and free of burrs, only by comparison. To see the difference, you can't see the difference just by looking at the parameters.

7. After-sales service: The important thing to buy machinery and equipment is the manufacturer’s after-sales service. No matter how high the quality of any manufacturer is, no matter how good the assembly process is, it is impossible to guarantee that the machine is not broken or malfunctioning. In addition, we may encounter some problems at any time in operation and use. In emergencies, we should choose a regular manufacturer, have a good after-sales service system, and be able to provide technical support at any time, so as to truly solve the various obstacles we encountered in the process of use.

8. Manufacturer qualification: The qualification of a manufacturer is a quick manifestation of its comprehensive strength and years of production experience. When we search and select equipment on the Internet, we can first select several powerful manufacturers by checking the establishment time of the manufacturer and the age of the store, and then Do an in-depth investigation and comparison, otherwise it will be easy to be distracted by some low-priced small manufacturers, and get wrong judgments and can't choose a really good machine.

9. On-site inspection: On-site inspection before purchasing the machine is a very important link, because there are too many manufacturers of all kinds on the market, and the gap between the online quotation and the parameter configuration will be very big, which causes us to be dazzled when we choose. Which one to choose, so take the processing materials to the factory for on-site inspections, on-site proofing to test the machine performance, compare the machine assembly details, and comprehensively investigate the overall style and after-sales service speed of a manufacturer, so that you can choose the most cost-effective machine that is most suitable for you.

(Affected by the global epidemic, on-site visits are not easy to achieve. Guangzhou Dragon Diamond invites you to make a video call, and operate the machine on site to show you our full range of product performance and ensure that you are satisfied! Buy with confidence and use it comfortably!)
