The 1390 laser cutter, as a representative desktop laser cutting and engraving machine, boasts a working area of 1300mm × 900mm. It integrates high precision and high efficiency, offering powerful functionality and broad material applicability. With advancements in technology, modern 1390 laser cutters are increasingly incorporating smart automation features. Below is a detailed introduction to some of its auto-adjusting functionalities:
Automatic Focus Adjustment
- Dual Red-Dot Laser Focusing System: Some 1390 laser cutters feature a dual red-dot laser focusing system, such as the RM1390Pro CO2 laser cutter. This system utilizes two red-dot lasers to precisely adjust the focus, ensuring accurate focusing before cutting and improving cutting quality and precision. Operators can quickly and conveniently position the laser beam at the optimal focal point relative to the material surface, adapting to materials of different thicknesses and achieving optimal cutting effects.
- Motorized Adjustable Worktable: The worktable of the 1390 laser cutter can be motorized for vertical adjustment. For example, the RM1390Pro supports objects up to 250mm in height. During cutting, operators can adjust the worktable height via software or a control panel to ensure the laser beam focuses precisely on the material surface. This enhances cutting efficiency and quality while accommodating materials of varying thicknesses.
Automatic Cutting Parameters Adjustment
- Laser Power Auto-Adjustment: Modern 1390 laser cutters can automatically adjust laser power based on material properties and thickness. When cutting thin materials like paper or thin leather, the laser power can be reduced to avoid overcutting or scorching. For thick materials such as wood or acrylic, the power can be increased to ensure smooth and efficient cutting. Some machines adopt high-power CO2 laser tubes, such as the 120W RECI CO2 glass laser tube in the RM1390Pro, providing strong cutting power while ensuring precise power regulation to meet diverse cutting needs.
- Cutting Speed Auto-Adjustment: The 1390 laser cutter can intelligently adjust cutting speed according to material characteristics and design complexity. For intricate designs with fine details, the speed is lowered to ensure precision; for large, simple shapes, the speed is increased to boost efficiency. Additionally, with the integration of vibration cutting technology, the system can identify vibration sources through a specialized interface and adjust cutting parameters to minimize vibration impact, improving cutting quality.
Real-Time Monitoring and Error Correction
- Real-Time Monitoring Systems: Equipped with sensors and cameras, modern 1390 laser cutters can monitor the cutting process in real time, collecting data such as cutting speed, laser power, and material temperature. For instance, the LightBURN software used by the SLX1390 CO2 laser cutter enables seamless integration with the machine. Operators can monitor the cutting process through the software interface and adjust parameters as needed.
- Automatic Error Correction: When deviations occur during cutting, such as material displacement or changes in thickness, the machine can automatically detect and correct these errors. Based on real-time monitoring data, it adjusts cutting parameters like laser power and speed to ensure the final product meets design requirements. This reduces material waste and improves production efficiency.
Automatic Material Handling
- Auto-Loading and Unloading: Some advanced 1390 laser cutting systems integrate robotic arms and automated material handling devices. These systems can automatically load raw materials onto the worktable and unload finished products after cutting. This reduces manual intervention, lowers labor costs, and improves production efficiency. Such automated setups are particularly advantageous in large-scale production environments like automotive and aerospace industries, where they streamline workflows and enhance production automation.
- Material Recognition and Adaptation: Certain 1390 laser cutters can recognize material types and thicknesses using cameras or sensors. Based on this recognition, the machine automatically selects appropriate cutting parameters, such as laser power and cutting speed. This feature not only simplifies operation but also ensures optimal cutting results for different materials.
Intelligent Software Support
- Parameter Optimization Software: Professional laser cutting software, such as LightBURN, supports parameter optimization for 1390 laser cutters. Operators can import design files into the software, and the software automatically generates optimal cutting paths and parameters based on material properties and design requirements. Functions like shape offsetting, boolean operations, and welding within the software allow for efficient design adjustments and optimizations. Cutting paths can also be optimized to reduce unnecessary movements of the laser head, improving cutting efficiency and precision.
- Remote Operation and Monitoring Software: Many 1390 laser cutters offer remote operation and monitoring capabilities. Operators can control and monitor the machine from any location via software, enabling remote adjustments to cutting parameters and real-time monitoring of the cutting process. This flexibility enhances productivity and convenience. For example, some machines can be remotely controlled via Ethernet or USB 2.0 connections, allowing operators to manage multiple machines simultaneously and improving work efficiency.
In summary, modern 1390 laser cutters achieve unprecedented levels of automation and intelligence through features like automatic focus adjustment, automatic cutting parameter adjustment, real-time monitoring and error correction, automatic material handling, and intelligent software support. These advancements enhance cutting precision, efficiency, and quality while reducing labor costs and material waste. They significantly improve production automation and intelligence, helping businesses achieve efficient and precise laser cutting operations and driving the development of industries reliant on laser cutting technology.
