Material Handling
To increase engraving area from 7.87"x7.87", to 11.81"x 11.87", you'll need a 50W or 30W fiber laser.
1. It has higher electro-optical conversion efficiency, which is more than 30%. The low-power laser machine has no need of a chiller. The air cooling will greatly save power consumption during operation, save costs, and achieve the highest manufacturing efficiency, 2. It only requires electrical energy during operation without additional gas, which has the lowest operation and maintenance costs, 3. It adopts semiconductor modular and redundant design. There is no optical lens in the resonant cavity, no start-up time, and it has the advantages of no adjustment, maintenance, and high stability. It reduces the cost of accessories and maintenance time, 4. The fiber laser wavelength is 1.064 microns, which makes the laser beam with high quality and high power density. It is very conducive to the absorption of metal materials, 5. The optical transmission of the whole machine is through optical fiber, no complicated light guide system such as reflecting mirror is needed, the optical path is simple, the structure is stable, and the external optical path is maintenance-free., 6. The cutting head contains a protective lens, which makes the consumption of expensive consumables such as focusing lenses extremely small, 7. The light is exported through the optical fiber, which makes the design of the mechanical system very simple, and it is very easy to integrate with the robot or multi-dimensional workbench, 8. After the laser is added with the optical shutter, it can be multi-machine, split through the optical fiber, divided into multiple channels and work simultaneously, easy to expand the function, easy and simple to upgrade.
If most of your production is cutting thin metals up to 25mm, then a fiber laser cutter will be ideal.
Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. FM1212-50S can engrave acrylic and hard-plastic bricks, granite, marbles, tile, aluminum.
LaserWorks, RDWork, or LaserWorks software control the machine. Download them from their respective websites.
Plasma can also be used to cut ceramic and glass. Plasma cannot cut plastic or wood because they are electrically conductive.
The SR-F series from Mitsubishi features a 3m by 1.5m compact footprint and offers the user diverse functionality.
Fiber lasers do not have a large focal point. It is therefore difficult to use them to slice thick materials. A CO2 laser will be the best solution in these situations.
Some acrylic that is made of PVC emits toxic fumes when it is heated. You should always verify the chemical composition of the materials that you are going to engrave.
MCWlaser PRO features a Z-axis that can be manually moved up or down using a control wheel. Unfortunately, the XY axes cannot be adjusted.
Since the working medium adopted by the laser generator is in the form of an optical fiber, its features are affected by the transition properties of the optical fiber. The pump light entering the fiber generally has multiple modes, while the signal photoelectric may have multiple modes. Different pump modes have different effects on different signal modes, making the analysis of laser generators and amplifiers more complicated. The doping distribution in the fiber also has a great impact on the laser generator. In order to make the medium have gain characteristics, working ions (that is, impurities) are doped into the fiber. In general, working ions are evenly distributed in the core. However, the distribution of pump light of different modes in the fiber is non-uniform. Therefore, in order to improve the pumping efficiency, the ion distribution and the pumping energy distribution should be as close as possible. When analyzing the laser generator, in addition to the general principle of the laser generator discussed above, it must also consider its own features, introduce different models and adopt special analysis methods to achieve good analysis results.
You won't have to worry about any leftover cutting residue, such as dross, if the laser cutting parameters are correct.
The fiber laser has a repeatable precision of +0.0001" and a beam quality less than 1.1M2.
Finally, the laser beam has been shaped at cutting head with focus lenses. It is projected onto work materials.
Fiber lasers leave unsightly marks on wood.
The goal of any marking or engraving project is to create a readable mark, whether by hand or machine. Uncontrolled absorption, on the other hand, results in an uncontrolled mark on the wood.
Applications for the 50 Watt Fiber Laser Deep Engraving Machine:
Thin metals such as stainless steel, aluminum, alloy, brass, silver, gold, and titanium can also be cut by the deep laser engraving machine.
Laser cutters cost between $13 and $20 per hour to operate. Water jet cutters cost between $15 and $30 per hour. Overall, the operating costs are comparable, and the total cost will be determined by your project.
