Woodworking Laser Cutter: Things You May Want to Know

Guidance signs are also called signs. As the name suggests, they are signs that indicate directions, including lobby signs, restroom signs, room number plates, information desk signs in hotels, restaurants, hospitals, airports, office buildings, shopping malls and other public places, as well as public welfare tips in outdoor parks. Signs, road signs, parking signs, etc., are mostly made of metal for the sake of simplicity, elegance, sturdiness and durability. With the continuous upgrading of the living environment, the guide sign is no longer an isolated existence, but has become part of the visual identity of a specific use area, and its appearance design is naturally extremely colorful.



The formation of a perfect metal guide sign requires a humanized design concept and exquisite processing and manufacturing technology. It must meet both practical requirements and aesthetic principles. The processing advantages of laser cutting are perfectly demonstrated in the field of metal guide signs.



Outdoors, metal guide signs are sturdy and durable, and are not afraid of wind and rain erosion. Laser cutting cuts out text and patterns on metal plates, which are unique and vivid, giving people a smooth and clear navigation experience. The laser cutting edges are smooth and burr-free. It ensures the overall aesthetics and makes the guide sign, a part of the urban environment facilities, a unique landscape.

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.
