Laser Engraving Machines: 


Describe the laser engraving process for stone.

It is a device that utilizes the heat generated by a laser to engrave materials. The laser emits laser light, which is focused on a high-energy density laser through an optical circuit system. The light generated by the laser can cause chemical and physical engraving marks on surface materials, as well as burn off certain materials to reveal patterns and text to be etched.



Ⅲ. Compare CNC Stone engraving machine with Lasercarving machine


Principle of operation:

A laser engraver is a device that utilizes heat generated by a laser to engrave materials. The laser emits laser light, which is focused on a high-energy density laser through an optical circuit system. The light generated by the laser can cause chemical and physical engraving marks on the surface material, or it can burn off certain materials to reveal patterns and text that need to be etched.

The CNC engraving machine relies on an electric spindle to drive a high-speed rotary engraving head. According to the configuration of the processing material, mounted on the host table cutting processing material,carving out the computer design of a variety of flat or three-dimensional patterns. Automatic engraving operation of graphics and text can be carried out.

Accuracy:

Laser engraving to be higher than mechanical engraving in precision, because the laser engraving light source diameter is very small, and mechanical engraving itself tool has a certain knife width, so in addition to the quality of the machine itself in addition to the quality of the tool also contains the precision requirements.

Engraving materials laser engraving on metal materials is difficult to achieve a depth of engraving, but also may only be the surface of the metal coating engraving. And mechanical engraving machine can do a certain depth of engraving, and even cutting.

Processing mode.

Laser engraving: for non-contact processing, suitable for thin materials and fine processing. Can be engraved on a variety of materials, including metal, plastic, wood, glass, ceramics and so on. Engraving lines are fine and can reach very high resolution.

CNC Engraving: Suitable for thicker materials that can be engraved or cut in depth. Different types of tools need to be changed to accomplish different processes, such as milling, drilling, grinding, etc.
