Laser Engraving Machine for Metal: Things You May Want to Know

Laser cutting machine, as the mainstream of sheet metal processing, especially cutting, is also popular in the advertising sign industry, so why is laser cutting function widely used in the advertising sign industry?

First of all, most of the workpieces of the advertising sign industry are mostly thin sheets below 1mm, and the materials are mainly stainless steel, aluminum plate and galvanized plate, and some decorative curtain walls are mainly copper plate and titanium alloy plate. According to the output, thickness and production efficiency, the choice of 1500W-3000W fiber laser cutting machine can be met.

Secondly, the fiber laser cutting machine has good cutting quality and numerical control system, long service life, low maintenance costs, low energy consumption, and the laser of the fiber laser cutting machine can be transmitted through the fiber, convenient connection with the moving platform, to achieve flexible processing, which greatly simplifies the system design of the traditional laser cutting machine, but also increases the stability of the system and reduces the maintenance amount. Suitable for industrial processing applications.

Advantages of laser cutting machines in sheet metal processing Compared with laser cutting machines, traditional cutting machines have low efficiency and poor precision. They cannot process precision parts and require experienced technicians to operate them. However, laser cutters are different. Laser cutting has the characteristics of high precision, fast cutting speed, not limited to cutting patterns, automatic typesetting, material saving, smooth cutting, and low processing cost; laser cutting has small heat-affected zone, small plate deformation, and narrow cutting slit; the incision has no mechanical stress , no shearing burrs; high processing accuracy, good repeatability, no damage to the material surface; CNC programming can process any plan, and can cut the entire sheet in large format without opening a mold, which has the advantages of economy and time saving. It can process sheet metal, stainless steel, chassis and cabinets.

There are many machines and equipment used in sheet metal processing because there are many processes, mainly including lathes, milling machines, planers, drill presses, boring machines, broaching machines, grinders and polishing machines. These machines and equipment can be subdivided.

Before the equipment is put into use, its workplace should be clean and free of debris. The oil pipes, gas pipes, wires, cables, etc. on site should be cleaned to prevent them from being damaged by rubbing during operation. The joints of oil pipes, air pipes, etc. should be checked frequently to see if they are tight, loose, or damaged. If damaged, it should be replaced immediately.

Processing Depending on the sheet metal processing, the process flow is also very different. Initially, it must go through the processes of blanking, assembly, flanging, stamping, bending and welding. Professional sheet metal processing companies have more excellent technical personnel who can accurately perform processes such as blanking and cutting to reduce product errors. Machining tools, lathes and technicians have become essential requirements. Only with these can we do a good job in sheet metal processing.

A full-automatic laser welding machine is an advanced industrial tool designed to perform high-precision welding tasks with minimal human intervention. This type of machine utilizes laser technology to join materials, typically metals or thermoplastics, through a focused beam of light that generates intense heat. Utilizes fiber lasers or CO2 lasers to produce a concentrated beam of light that melts the materials to be joined.Can be integrated with other manufacturing processes, such as cutting or marking, creating a streamlined workflow.Can weld a variety of materials, including stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and certain plastics, making it suitable for diverse applications.

The portable handheld laser marking machine is available in two models: lithium battery and plug-in, to meet different needs. It has an intelligent red light positioning system, high-precision laser, built-in operating system, and quick touch display. It can mark a variety of content, including graphic barcodes, QR codes, graphics, pictures, logos, etc., and supports file formats such as PLT/HPGL/JPG/DXF. It is compact and lightweight, suitable for marking industrial, automotive castings, flanges, outer packaging boxes, large and heavy items that are not easy to move. It also supports marking all metals, such as stainless steel, plastic, PVC plastic, metal, rubber and cement walls, etc.

Fiber laser marking machine uses laser beam to mark the surface of various materials permanently. The effect of marking is to expose the deep material through the evaporation of the surface material, or to carve out traces through the physical change of the surface material caused by light energy, or to burn part of the material through light energy to show the required etching pattern, text, barcode and other graphics. It is mainly composed of three parts: laser, galvanometer lens and marking card. The laser marking machine produced by fiber laser has good beam quality, its output center is 1064nm, and the life of the whole machine is about 100,000 hours. Compared with other types of laser markers, it has a longer life, and the electro-optical conversion efficiency is more than 28%. Compared with the conversion efficiency of 2%-10% of other types of laser marking machines, it has a great advantage in energy saving and environmental protection. It is widely used in integrated circuit chips, computer accessories, industrial bearings, clocks and watches, electronic and communication products, aerospace devices, various auto parts, home appliances, hardware tools, molds, wires and cables, food packaging, jewelry, tobacco and military affairs, etc. Many fields such as graphic and text marking, as well as mass production line operations.
