With the development of computer, optical, electromechanical, control technology and materials, laser processing has gradually become a new processing technology. Laser engraving and cutting machine combines the functions of laser cutting and laser engraving, and is widely used in the advertising industry.
Laser cutting and laser engraving are two different ways of working.
Laser cutting is to vaporize or melt the workpiece with a focused high-energy laser beam, and blow the oxidized or melted material with an auxiliary gas to form a cut. Laser cutting is the separation of edges. We can first make the graphics in the form of lines in AUTOCAD and CORELDRAW, and then save them in the corresponding DxF and PLT formats, open the cutting operation software, and open the file at the same time, and then according to the material we want to process Set parameters such as speed and energy, and then run it. After receiving the instruction of the computer, the laser cutting machine will automatically cut according to the flight path generated by the software. Laser cutting is currently one of the most widely used and mature laser processing technologies in laser processing.
Laser engraving is usually composed of special laser engraving software, carbon dioxide laser, precision machinery and automatic control system, which is a low-cost high-tech laser product. Laser engraving is mainly carried out on the surface of the object. We can first properly process the graphics we need to engrave in PHOTOSHOP and convert them into BMP format, and then open the graphics file in the special engraving and cutting software, and then according to our requirements. The material to be processed can be set with appropriate parameters, and then click to run, and the laser engraving machine will engrave according to the dot matrix effect generated by the graphic file. In the advertising industry, laser engraving is mainly suitable for the processing of two-color plates, wood boards, colored paper, plexiglass and other materials.
The laser engraving and cutting machine combines all the advantages of laser cutting and laser engraving, and is more cost-effective, and puts forward higher requirements for the control system and laser, mainly for products that require both model effects and graphic effects. In the advertising industry, laser engraving and cutting machines are mainly used for handicrafts and indicative signs such as signs, image sets, street signs, signs, etc.
Although laser engraving and cutting machines have only been developed in the advertising industry in recent years, they have huge market potential, thanks to the fast-growing advertising industry. For laser equipment manufacturers, this is both an opportunity and a challenge. In order to occupy the market, factors such as improving the operating speed, improving the technical content, improving the processing accuracy, and improving the stability of the system must be considered.
