The application of laser engraving machines in various industries

2023-07-25

Laser engraving machine is a high-tech product in the world today, with high integration of optical, mechanical, and electrical technologies. In the mid to late 1990s, with the successful development of laser engraving technology, the engraving industry began to develop rapidly. So far, the application of carving machines has been almost ubiquitous in every industry, becoming a common equipment in our daily work. Nowadays, it is mainly applied in the advertising industry, craft industry, mold industry, construction industry, printing and packaging industry, wood industry, decoration industry, leather industry... So, now KeHua Laser mainly introduces the application of laser engraving machines in several common industries.
The application of laser engraving machines in the decoration industry is dazzling. Below is an introduction to their carving of wood:
Firstly, it is raw wood, which is unprocessed wood. It is the most common laser processing material in our daily lives and is also easy to carve and cut. For example, light colored woods such as birch, cherry, or maple are easily vaporized by laser and are therefore more suitable for carving. However, as each type of wood has its own characteristics, we need to choose wood based on the specific object we want to carve. We suggest studying the characteristics of the carving machine before carving unfamiliar wood.

Next is plywood, which is an artificial wooden board and one of the commonly used materials for furniture. Carving on plywood is not much different from carving on wood, but one thing to note is that the carving depth should not be too deep. The edges of the cut plywood will also turn black like wood, but the degree of blackening depends on the type of wood used to make the plywood.
Generally speaking, carving on wood is usually done in shadow, and the carving depth is generally required to be relatively deep, so the power is usually set relatively high. If encountering hard wood, it may make the carved graphic presentation darker. If you want to make the color lighter, you can increase the carving speed and try carving multiple times. Some wood may produce some oil fumes attached to the surface of the wood during carving, if the wood has already been painted. It can be carefully wiped off with a damp cloth. If it is not painted, it may not be cleaned thoroughly, causing surface stains on the finished product.
Next, we will focus on introducing the laser engraving machine for carving on organic glass crafts.
The most common material in our daily life - acrylic, is actually a type of organic glass. It is easy to cut and carve into various shapes and sizes, and the cost is relatively low, so it naturally becomes the most commonly used carving material in the craft industry. Organic glass produced by casting method produces a very white frosted effect after laser engraving, which contrasts sharply with the original transparent texture and can produce very good results after engraving; Organic glass produced by rolling method is still transparent after laser engraving, without sufficient contrast effect, so it is relatively less used. Therefore, when purchasing organic glass, we should pay attention to choosing the high-purity one, otherwise the organic glass material we buy may melt during carving or cutting.

Laser cutting machines have numerous advantages over traditional cutting methods: the edges of the leather they cut do not turn yellow, and the edges are automatically trimmed or rolled, without deformation or hardening, with consistent and precise dimensions; Can cut any complex shape; High efficiency, low cost, computer designed graphics, capable of cutting lace of any shape and size; There is no mechanical pressure on the workpiece during processing; Safe operation, simple maintenance, etc.
Due to the combination of laser and computer technology, users can design patterns on the computer and output them at any time, and can transform the carved graphics to achieve the idea of designing and producing products at the same time. It can be said that the emergence of laser engraving machines greatly promoted the development of the leather industry.
Practice has proven that laser processing is currently the best choice for energy-saving and environmentally friendly processing.
