Application
A laser engraving cutting machine can be used in industrial manufacturing, small business, small shop, home business, home shop, school education. Fiber laser engraver and fiber laser cutter are commonly used for engraving and cutting metal materials, such as stainless steel, carbon steel, copper, alloy, aluminium, silver, gold, iron. A laser engraver with MOPA fiber laser source can also be used to engrave color on metal surface. CO2 laser engraving cutting machines are commonly used for engraving and cutting nonmetal materials, such as wood, fabric, acrylic, leather, foam, plastic, stone, paper, MDF, PVC.
Working Principle
A laser engraving cutting machine works with CNC (Computer Numerical Control), which will send command to make the laser head moving over the material surface, the laser beam will output at the same time to engrave patterns or cut shapes on an object.

FAQs
What Is A Laser Cutter?
Laser cutter is a kind of numerical control cutting equipment, which focuses the laser light emitted from the laser generator through the optical path system into a laser beam of high power density. The laser beam is irradiated to the surface of the workpiece, so that the workpiece reaches the melting point or boiling point, and the high-pressure gas coaxial with the beam will blow away the molten or vaporized metal. With the movement of the relative position of the laser beam and the workpiece, the material is finally formed into a slit, so as to achieve the purpose of cutting.
What Is A Laser Engraver?
Laser engraving machine, as the name implies, is an advanced numerical control device that uses laser to engrave the material to be engraved. Laser engraving machine is different from mechanical engraving machine and other traditional manual engraving methods. Mechanical engraving machine uses mechanical means, such as diamond and other materials with extremely high hardness to engrave other things. The laser engraving machine uses the thermal energy of the laser to engrave the material. The laser in the laser engraving machine is the core. Generally speaking, the laser engraving machine is more widely used, and the engraving accuracy is higher and the engraving speed is faster. Compared with the traditional hand-engraving method, laser engraving can also make the engraving effect very delicate, which is no less than the level of hand-engraving. It is precisely because the laser engraving machine has so many advantages, so now the application of laser engraving machine has gradually replaced the traditional engraving equipment and methods.
What Are The Benefits of Laser Cutting?
Laser cutting is to replace the traditional mechanical cutter with an invisible light beam. It has the characteristics of high precision, fast cutting, not limited to the limitation of cutting patterns, automatic layout to save materials, smooth incisions, and low processing costs. Metal cutting process equipment. The mechanical part of the laser cutter head is not in contact with the workpiece, and will not cause scratches on the surface of the workpiece during the work; the laser cutting speed is fast, the incision is smooth and flat, and generally no subsequent processing is required; the cutting heat affected zone is small, the plate deformation is small, and the cutting slit is narrow ( 0.1mm ~ 0.3mm); the incision has no mechanical stress and no shear burrs; the processing accuracy is high, the repeatability is good, and the surface of the material is not damaged; the CNC programming can process any plan, and can cut the whole board with a large breadth, without Open the mold, economy and time-saving.
What Are The Advantages of Laser Engraving?
1. Accurate and meticulous: the engraving accuracy can reach 0.02mm.
2. Consistent effect: Ensure that the engraving effect of the same batch is completely consistent.
3. Safe and reliable: Non-contact processing is adopted, which will not cause mechanical extrusion or mechanical stress on the material. No "knife marks", not damage the surface of the processed parts, not deform the material.
4. Eco-friendly: The diameter of the light beam and light spot is small, generally less than 0.5mm, saving materials, safety and hygiene.
5. Wide range: CO2 laser can engrave and cut almost any non-metallic material. And the price is low.
6. High-speed: can immediately engrave and cut according to the pattern output by the computer.
7. Low cost: Not limited by the number of engraving, laser engraving is cheaper for small batch engraving services.
What Are Laser Engraving Cutting Machines Used For?
Laser engraving and cutting machine is mainly used in various industries such as advertising industry, leather garment processing industry, packaging industry, glass, handicraft engraving, marble shadow engraving, jewelry, model and so on.
Advertising industry: Double-color plate engraving, acrylic engraving and cutting, sign engraving, crystal, trophy engraving, authorized engraving, etc.
