How to purchase a suitable home Laser Engraving Machine? -part 4

Determinants of performance

The performance of a laser engraving machine is mainly determined by its engraving speed, engraving intensity, and spot size. Therefore, this can be the standard for us to purchase a home laser engraving machine.

Performance

Engraving speed refers to the speed at which the laser head moves, usually expressed in IPS (miles per second); high speed brings high productivity; speed can also be used to control the depth of cutting or engraving. For a specific laser intensity, the speed is higher. The depth of slow, cutting or engraving is greater. The engraving speed can be adjusted by the control panel of the laser engraving machine, or it can be adjusted by the computer's print driver. In the range of 1% to 100%, the adjustment range is 1%.

The greater the intensity of laser engraving, the deeper the depth of cutting or engraving. The spot size can be adjusted with lenses of different focal lengths; the small spot lens is suitable for high-resolution engraving; the large spot lens is suitable for lower resolution engraving, but it is the best choice for vector engraving; the usual standard configuration is a 2.0-inch lens with a spot size in the middle for a variety of applications.

Applied material

Laser Engraving Machine can usually engrave the following materials: bamboo and wood products, plexiglass, metal plate, glass, stone, crystal, Corian, paper, two-color plate, alumina, leather, plastic, epoxy resin, polyester resin, spray metal.

Application field

Used in electronic components, integrated circuits(IC), electrical appliances, mobile communications, hardware products, tool accessories, precision equipment, glasses and clocks, jewelry, auto parts, plastic buttons, building materials, PVC pipe, medical equipment and other industries.

Applicable software system

The laser engraving machine software system usually supports WINDOWS platform, and can be compatible with AUTOCAD, CORELDRAW, PHOTOSHOP and other software file formats, such as PLT, PCW, DXF, BMP, etc., and can also directly use SHX, TTF fonts. The graphics are designed freely through the computer, the operation is simple, the power is controlled by software, and the power is continuously adjustable.
