CO2 Laser Machines: Engravers and Cutters

This cutting equipment uses the energy of the focused beam of the laser tube for processing. Due to its monochrome and coherence, the focus zone is very small, and therefore:

• In its vicinity there is almost instantaneous “evaporation” of many materials;
• The size of such a vicinity is calculated in units and tens of micrometers.

Therefore, it can be positioned very accurately in space – thus achieving an unprecedented acceptable error of the cutting tool of 0.01-0.03 mm.

How to choose CO2 machine

When making a choice, you need to realize that the effectiveness of considerable investments will depend on its correctness. Therefore, the purchased equipment for laser engraving should bring the expected profit during operation.

One of the factors of its growth is a reduction in financial expenses due to forced outages. This can be achieved by abandoning cheap low-quality cutting machines, for which it is often extremely difficult to find components.

Therefore, it is better to choose Wattsan premium equipment, introduced on the market for more than 10 years. The manufacturer’s service departments work quickly, but they are rarely called upon, because the machines use proven and reliable technologies.

It is important to pay attention to the functionality and configuration of the cutting machines for laser engraving:

• Voltage regulator (supports the required range of supply voltage);
• Swivel and lifting/lowering table (adjustable for layouts of different thickness and shape);
• Chiller (cools the laser tube).

Support and Maintenance for CO2 Laser Machine

Service center specialists interact directly with customers around the world. Therefore, buying the machine, the client also receives:

• If necessary, training in the proper laser engraving and cutting on the machine;
• Convenient service that significantly reduces the risks to the production chain.

Operating principle of CO2 machine

The electricity supplied to the laser tube is absorbed by carbon dioxide molecules. As a result, they begin to synchronously emit in-phase electromagnetic waves in a narrow frequency range that pass through the optical system. It provides focusing at the required radiation distance for laser engraving or cutting. According to the other two coordinates, the positioning of the cutting tool is carried out by an electromechanical system.

During cutting, the temperature in the optical focus of the laser causes the material to evaporate or melt. With CO2 laser engraving on the machine, one of the properties of the material changes – color, structure, surface texture, etc.

What can a CO2 cutting machine be used for?

It is used to engrave and cut:

• fabrics;
• plywood;
• cardboard;
• plexiglass;
• acrylic and other plastics.

Particular machine models are suitable for:

• For laser engraving on wood and stone;
• For metal cutting.

See some product examples:

• cardboard silhouettes of bats
• wooden components of furniture elements:
• smartphone cases with laser engraving:

Conclusion

Time-tested application technologies make it possible to practically eliminate the likelihood of industrial scrap. It is only necessary to take into account all the nuances of the operation and setting of the cutting mode of the machines, and then the result will be exactly what is expected.

For example, when cutting small workpieces with laser engraving, cutting should be performed after engraving. This will exclude their displacement, due to small fluctuations of the working surface, which is very harmful for the engraving process.
