CO2 laser cutting systems are able to cut variety of thin metal and non-metal materials of wood, MDF, plywood, chipboard, acrylic, plastic, PMMA, leather, fabric, cardboard, paper, rubber, depron foam, woodleather, wood paper, EPM, gator foam, polyester (PES), polyethylene (PE), polyurethane (PUR), neoprene, textile, bamboo, ivory, carbon fibers, beryllium oxide, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyvinyl butyrale (PVB), polytetrafluoroethylenes (PTFE / Teflon), phenolic or epoxy resins, and any materials with halogens (fluorine, astatine, iodine, chlorine, bromine).
Laser cutting machine, a type, is an automatic laser system equipped with a CNC controller. It can cut steel, brass or aluminum as well as metals such (steel and copper, brass), silver, alloy, alloy, iron, leather, rubber, paper, foam, fabric, and profile them into 2D/3D forms.
You can adjust the system's cutting parameters based on the thickness and material of the raw material.
You will need to adjust the system cutting parameters according to the material and thickness.
The core components of a complete laser cutting machine kit include the laser generator, laser cutter, beam transmission components and cutting table.
Prices vary depending on which type you choose, whether it is high-end, eco-friendly, or entry-level.
Laser cutters are used for many purposes including customization, digital printing, medical technology and education.
A laser cutter will bring your designs to life. GSS Machinery Laser System allows you to make miniature models or prototypes that are extremely detailed. Laser cutting machines are the best precision tools to cut plywood, balsa wood, foam board and cardboard.
After purchasing the parts and accessories, you will need to assemble and troubleshoot the software and hardware. The machine's performance and quality are directly affected by the material used to cut, the laser generator, the gas used, the air pressure, and the parameters set. Be sure to set the parameters in accordance with your cutting process. An improper setting or operation of parameters can lead to reduced cutting effects, damage or personal injury to the machine or parts, and even reduction in cutting power.
Select your file at the laser, put your engraving material in the machine, shut the door, and press GO. The laser will do the rest!
Send your design for the laser. In the print driver, you can select the parameters to be used or a preset from GSS Machinery.
When researching the cutting ability, you need to consider the watts of the power supply. If you cut thin sheets, you can choose a lower power supply to meet your cut. The material with higher thickness need to consider higher power supply, which is beneficial for enterprises to control costs.
First, check that all the connections are correct. This includes power supply, exhaust system, and PC. Visually inspect the condition of your machine. Make sure all machinery is moving freely and there is no material underneath the processing table. Clean the work area, including optical components, and wash them if necessary. You can find more information in the "General Maintenance” section. Check the exhaust system, and if necessary, start the cooling. Verify that the exhaust system's filter and activated carb are installed according to the instructions. After checking, close your protective cover.
Debug your equipment again and adjust the focus of the cutting head so that it is in the correct position.
Polycarbonate is an unsuitable material for laser cutting. ABS It emits cyanide gas and melts. ABS is difficult to cut with a laser cutter. It melts rather than vaporizes, and it is more likely to catch fire and leave melted gooey deposits on the vector cutting grid.
High-wattage laser cutting machines, on the other hand, are typically much more expensive than entry-level models. Some laser cutter models range in price from $4,000 to $15,000.
Laser cutters can cut all types of metals, including mild steel, stainless steel, and nonferrous metals.
