Let's first talk about the concept of laser engraving, so what is laser engraving? In traditional carving concepts, what we understand as carving is the imagination of a teacher holding a carving knife or electric tool to carve out exquisite patterns.
So the so-called laser carving is the use of laser technology for carving. The principle is to use laser thermal energy to burn or cause chemical changes on the carved surface to produce carving marks.
Compared to handheld tools, laser engraving machines have the advantage of being able to control the carving of text and patterns, as well as the size and precision of the carved patterns. The disadvantage is that it is not as three-dimensional as manual physical carving. So laser engraving machines are mainly used for shallow marking.
The concept has been clarified. Let's talk about the structure of laser engraving machines, and the main requirements for laser engraving machines to achieve carving functions are as follows:
It mainly requires software to control several major components of the mechanical transmission laser luminous light source, among which the software serves as a human-computer interaction page for editing image text, adjusting parameters, and starting and stopping.
Traditional engraving machines are driven by a mechanical transmission part, either a stepper motor or a servo motor. However, due to the characteristics of lasers, many modern machines have already used a galvanometer system to control the position of the laser by controlling the small movement of the lens angle
Laser luminescent light source is the core component of laser engraving, and the characteristics of the light source determine the material effect that the laser can achieve engraving. The size of energy has a significant impact on the depth and speed of engraving
