How does a laser cutter differ from a laser engraver?

First of all, both should be electrical. As far as I know, many people always mistake CNC engraving machine and laser engraving machine as one thing. In fact, there is a big difference between the two, and with the development of the times, this handheld laser engraver & laser cutter is more and more obvious. As laser technology continues to mature, its advantages over traditional computerized engraving are becoming more and more obvious. The following mainly from the dot matrix engraving, vector cutting, engraving speed, engraving intensity, spot size, engraving materials and other aspects of the two comparisons.

1, engraving intensity: engraving intensity refers to the intensity of laser irradiation to the surface of the material. For laserpecker 11 pro speed, the greater the intensity, the greater the impact of the depth of cut or engraving. You can adjust the intensity as well using the engraver's panel or the computer's print data driven system program structure. In the range of 1% to %, the adjustment is 1%. The greater the force development, the faster the speed increase. The depth of cut is also deeper!

2. Engraving speed: First of all, the engraving speed of CNC engraving machine and laser engraving machine is different, engraving speed refers to the speed of movement of the laser head, usually IPS (inches / second), high speed brings high productivity. Speed is also used to control the depth of cut, the slower the speed, the greater the depth of cut or engraving for a given laser intensity. You can adjust the speed using the engraver panel, or you can use your computer's print driver. The adjustment is 1% in the range of 1% to % . Hummer's advanced motion control system allows you to get high speed engraving super fine engraving quality.

3. Spot size:Actually, the spot size of CNC engraving machine and laser engraving machine is not the same as the laser beam. Lens with adjustable focal length. Small spot lenses for high resolution engraving. Lenses with larger spot sizes are used for lower resolution engraving, but are best for vector cutting. Newer equipment comes standard with 2-inch and 0-inch lenses. Its spot size is centered, suitable for a variety of occasions.

4. Dot Matrix Engraving: Dot matrix engraving is the same as HD dot matrix printing. The laser head swings from one side to the other, each time engraving a line composed of a series of dots. The laser head then moves up and down at the same time, engraving multiple lines, resulting in a full page image or text. Scanned graphics, text and vector graphics can be engraved using bitmaps.

5. Vector Cutting:Unlike dot-matrix engraving, vector cutting is done on the outer contour of the graphic. We usually use this mode to cut wood, acrylic, paper and other materials, but also can mark the surface of various materials.

6, can be engraved technical materials: wood products, organic combination of glass, metal plate, glass, stone, crystal, Corian, paper, two-color plate, aluminum oxide, leather, resin, spraying process metal.
