Small 40w CO2 Laser Engraver

CO2 laser engraving and cutting machine is a versatile piece of equipment that uses a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser beam to engrave and cut a wide range of materials. CO2 laser engravers can be used for both engraving and cutting tasks. Engraving involves marking the surface of a material, creating designs, text, or images. Cutting involves slicing through the material to create shapes or intricate patterns.

It is commonly used in industries such as signage, woodworking, crafts, and manufacturing for applications such as engraving, cutting, etching, and marking.CO2 laser engraving cutting machines are popular due to their versatility, precision, and ease of use. They find applications in various industries and are commonly used for creating signage, personalizing products, prototyping, artistic designs, and small-scale production.

40w CO2 Laser Engraver

40W CO2 laser engraver refers to a laser engraving machine that utilizes a 40-watt carbon dioxide (CO2) laser tube as its primary source of energy for engraving and cutting various materials. CO2 laser engravers are versatile tools widely used for engraving and cutting a variety of materials, including wood, acrylic, leather, paper, fabric, glass, and certain types of plastics.

The 40W rating indicates the power output of the CO2 laser tube. Higher wattage generally allows for faster engraving and cutting speeds and the ability to work with thicker materials.

A laser engraving and cutting machine is a device that uses a high-powered laser beam to etch or engrave various materials such as wood, acrylic, leather, and plastics, and even cut through thinner materials. It works by directing the laser beam through a series of mirrors and lenses, which focus the beam to a precise point on the material being engraved or cut. The focused beam vaporizes or melts away the material, creating a desired pattern or shape.

Carbon dioxide laser is a gas molecular laser, the working substance is CO2 gas, auxiliary gases are nitrogen helium, xenon and hydrogen, etc., because the energy conversion efficiency of this laser is as high as 25%, it is often a high-power output laser, carbon dioxide laser wavelength 10.6 microns, is impossible to see infrared light, good stability, widely used.

Using the most advanced DSP control technology in the world, the first industry-leading continuous and fast curve cutting function and the shortest machining path optimization function, greatly improving work efficiency. Automatic light attenuation compensation for the whole process of engraving, to ensure that different areas of cutting to maintain consistency, fast cutting control software design and high-speed motion buffer function, can improve production efficiency.

CO2 lasers are used to engrave text & patterns and cut shapes & contours in clothing, fashion, garment, shoes, bags, toys, embroidery, electronic appliances, molds, models, arts, crafts, advertising, decorations, packaging, and printing.

Here are some key points about CO2 laser engraving cutting machine :

1. Laser Source: These machines utilize a CO2 laser tube as the energy source. CO2 lasers produce a high-intensity beam at a wavelength of around 10.6 micrometers, which is well-suited for engraving and cutting a variety of non-metallic materials.
2. Engraving: CO2 laser engraving machines use the laser beam to vaporize or remove the surface layer of a material, creating detailed and precise engravings. They can engrave various materials such as wood, acrylic, leather, fabric, paper, glass, stone, and certain plastics.
3. Cutting: CO2 laser cutting machines use the laser beam to melt or vaporize the material along a predetermined cutting path. This allows for precise and clean cuts in materials like acrylic, wood, plywood, MDF, rubber, fabric, leather, and certain plastics. However, they are not suitable for cutting metals.
4. Working Area and Table: co2 laser engraver come in various sizes, with different working areas to accommodate different material sizes and project requirements. The machine usually has a table or platform where the material is placed for engraving or cutting.
5. Precision and Speed: co2 laser engraver offer excellent precision and speed. The focused laser beam allows for intricate and detailed designs, while the high-speed cutting capabilities enable efficient production. The precision and speed can be adjusted based on the material and desired outcome.
6. Software and Control: CO2 laser engraving cutting machines are typically controlled by specialized software that allows users to design or import graphics, adjust settings, and create cutting or engraving paths. The software often supports vector-based file formats such as SVG, AI, DXF, and others.
7. Material Compatibility: co2 laser engraver can work with a wide range of non-metallic materials. In addition to the materials mentioned earlier, they can also engrave or cut materials like cork, rubber, foam, paperboard, ceramic, and more. However, materials with high reflectivity, such as mirrors or certain metals, are not suitable for CO2 lasers.
8. Safety Features: Safety is an important aspect when using 40w co2 laser engraver. They usually feature protective enclosures with safety interlocks to prevent accidental exposure to the laser beam. Additional safety measures may include laser power control, ventilation systems to remove fumes, and warning indicators.

A CO2 laser cutting machine is an automated smart cutting tool kit that uses a glass laser tube to produce light beam, and works with a numerical control system to irradiate the beam to the surface of the object, and at the same time release high energy to melt and evaporate the surface of the object, thereby realizing the plan of cutting and engraving. The beam is a column of very high intensity light, of a single wavelength, or color. In the case of a typical carbon dioxide laser, that wavelength is in the Infra-Red part of the light spectrum, so it is invisible to the human eye.

The beam is only about 3/4 of an inch in diameter as it travels from the resonator, which creates the beam, through the machine’s beam path. It may be bounced in different directions by a number of mirrors, or “beam benders”, before it is finally focused onto the plate. The focused beam goes through the bore of a nozzle right before it hits the plate. Also flowing through that nozzle bore is a compressed gas, such as Oxygen or Nitrogen. Generally speaking, higher power is used for cutting, lower power is used for engraving. The power is adjustable during operation. Turn it down for engraving and turn it up for cutting. The level of power will also affect the depth of engraving and the thickness of cutting.
