CO2 Laser Cutter Engraver for Acrylic MDF Plastic Fabric Wood

Laser engraving machine refers to the operation method of connecting laser equipment to laser engraving software, and inputting artwork into automatic engraving. At present, laser engraving machine is the most mature and widely used technology in the field of laser processing. Using this technique, any complex graphics can be engraved. It can carry out hollow engraving and non-penetrating blind groove engraving, thereby engraving out various magical patterns with different shades, different textures, layering and transitional color effects. With these advantages, laser engraving caters to the new trend of international clothing processing.

Although laser engraving is also a thermal processing method, it is very suitable for cutting textile fiber fabrics due to the high focus of the laser, the slender spot, and the small thermal diffusion zone. The specific performance is in the wide range of processing fabrics, smooth cuts without flash, automatic closing, no deformation, graphics can be designed and output by computer at will, no knife die, etc. This makes laser processing a recognized alternative in the industry.

Laser engraving machine, as the name suggests, is an advanced equipment that uses laser to engrave nonmetal materials that need to be engraved. The nonmetal laser engraving machine is different from the mechanical engraving machine and other traditional manual engraving methods. The mechanical engraving machine uses mechanical means, such as diamond and other extremely hard materials to engrave other things, while the laser engraving machine uses the heat energy of the laser to carry out the material.

Generally speaking, the use range of nonmetal laser engraver is more extensive, and the engraving accuracy is higher, and the engraving speed is faster. And compared to the traditional manual engraving method, laser engraving can also achieve a very delicate engraving effect, no less than the level of hand-engraving craftsmanship. It is precisely because the laser engraver has so many advantages, so now the application of laser etching machine has gradually replaced the traditional engraving equipment and methods.

Typically the overall laser system consists of two major units. One of them is the controlling unit, and the other one is the laser-shooting unit. By the way, the energy source located inside the controlling unit. Similar to the CO2 laser engraving machine/ CO2 laser marking machine, the laser comes from the laser medium contained in a protecting box. Here, the laser medium is surrounded by two mirrors. One of them has a pore for the photon transfer.  In the presence of the high power energy source, this laser medium produces lots of photons, which is called a laser beam. This laser beam then travels to the laser gun through the fiber cable. In the laser gun, the photons then get mixed with the assist gas oxidizes the photons. The photon then goes through the amplification lens. Finally, It hits the surface of the materials. Based on the density of the photons and the amplification lens, the depth of the cutting depends. Usually, the CO2 laser cutting machine has a higher frequency than the other CO2 laser cutters.

Laser engraving machines are classified as laser wood burning machine, metal engraving machines, leather ablation machines, stone engraving machines, fabric marking machines, plastic engraver kits, rubber branding kits, paper printing tools, glass etching machines, acrylic engraving tools based on the materials.

Laser engraving systems are defined as CO2 laser systems, fiber laser systems (the best tool to engrave metal), and UV laser systems (the best tool to etch glass) based on the sources.

Laser engraving tables are divided into mini types, handheld types, compact types, desktop types, portable types, 2×3 engraving tables, 2×4 engraving tables, 4×4 engraving tables, 4×8 engraving tables, 5×10 engraving tables, large format engraving tables according to the working area.

These kits are classified as home kits, hobby kits, commercial kits, industrial kits based on applications.

These engravers are defined as laser jewelry engravers, pen printers, iPhone engraving tools, gun stippler, ring engraver kits, signage markers, art engraving kits, logo branders, cup etchers based on industries. If you are working for 3D engraving, the rotary engraver kit is the best option.

CO2 laser

CO2 laser is a kind of gas laser consisted of CO2 molecules with the wavelength of 10.6μm. It can manifest a variety of energy states, depending on how it vibrates and spins. And the gas mixture in carbon dioxide is a plasma of low-pressure gas caused by the release of electrons. Since the output wavelength is easily absorbed by water, the CO2 laser is also widely used in the medical field.

Laser tube

CO2 laser tube is also known as the glass-enclosed CO2 laser. And it is mainly composed of three parts: hard glass, resonant cavity, and electrode. Hard glass tube cover is composed of discharge tube, water cooling jacket, gas storage jacket, and return gas pipe. Resonant cavity is consists of a total reflection mirror and an output mirror. And CO2 laser tube generally use cylindrical cold cathodes, which has the features of low sputtering rate and low gas absorption rate.

CO2 laser generator

The carbon dioxide laser generator (CO2 laser generator) is a kind of gas laser generator which takes CO2 gas as the working substance. And the discharge tube usually made of glass or quartz stone is filled with CO2 gas and other auxiliary gases. Moreover, the auxiliary gases are mainly helium, nitrogen, and usually with a small amount of hydrogen or xenon. And the electrodes are generally nickel hollow cylinders. For the resonant cavity, one end is a gold-plated total reflector and the other end is a partially reflecting mirror ground with germanium or gallium arsenide.

If you want to buy a CO2 laser cutting machine, you may want to know how much the CO2 laser cutting machine price. According to different CO2 laser machine types, the CO2 laser cutting machine cost will be different. For example, acrylic laser cutting machine price, laser fabric cutting machine price, and textile laser cutting machine price ranges from $6,000-$1,500, while wood laser cutter cost is about $3,200-$9,400.

In addition, CO2 laser machine price is also decided by CO2 laser system, CO2 laser power, CO2 laser software, and other CO2 laser parts. Besides, buying overseas also needs to pay extra fees, such as taxes, shipping cost, packing cost, etc. Therefore, CO2 laser cutting machine price in India, Africa and CO2 laser cutter price in UK, USA, Australia are only different in the extra fees.
