Ball & Screw

For engraving cylindrical items made of balsa wood, the rotary attachment is an ideal solution. It allows you to achieve a uniform and consistent engraving effect with precise control over carved depth. By simply connecting the rotary device to the appropriate ports, the Y-axis movement is redirected to rotate the material. This ensures even engraving across the entire surface, eliminating inconsistencies caused by varying distances between the laser spot and the curved surface of cylindrical objects.

For example, when engraving balsa wood pen barrels, wooden rolling pins, or even customized wooden bottle designs, the rotary attachment ensures that the engraving is smooth and precise, no matter how curved the surface. Whether you’re crafting personalized gifts or adding intricate designs to balsa wood craft items, the rotary attachment provides the flexibility and accuracy needed to produce high-quality results.

Servo Motors

A servomotor is a closed-loop servomechanism that uses position feedback to control its motion and final position. The input to its control is a signal (either analog or digital) representing the position commanded for the output shaft. The motor is paired with some type of position encoder to provide position and speed feedback. In the simplest case, only the position is measured. The measured position of the output is compared to the command position, the external input to the controller. If the output position differs from that required, an error signal is generated which then causes the motor to rotate in either direction, as needed to bring the output shaft to the appropriate position. As the positions approach, the error signal reduces to zero, and the motor stops. Servo motors ensure higher speed and higher precision of the laser cutting and engraving.

DC Brushless Motors

Brushless DC (direct current) motor can run at a high RPM (revolutions per minute). The stator of the DC motor provides a rotating magnetic field that drives the armature to rotate. Among all the motors, the brushless dc motor can provide the most powerful kinetic energy and drive the laser head to move at tremendous speed. MimoWork’s best CO2 laser engraving machine is equipped with a brushless motor and can reach a maximum engraving speed of 2000mm/s. The brushless dc motor is rarely seen in a CO2 laser cutting machine. This is because the speed of cutting through a material is limited by the thickness of the materials. On the contrary, you only need small power to carve graphics on your materials, A brushless motor equipped with the laser engraver will shorten your engraving time with greater accuracy.

Auto Focus

It is mainly used for metal cutting. You may need to set a certain focus distance in the software when the cutting material is not flat or with different thickness. Then the laser head will automatically go up and down, keeping the same height & focus distance to match with what you set inside the software to achieve a consistently high cutting quality.

Ball & Screw

A ball screw is a mechanical linear actuator that translates rotational motion to linear motion with little friction. A threaded shaft provides a helical raceway for ball bearings which act as a precision screw. As well as being able to apply or withstand high thrust loads, they can do so with minimum internal friction. They are made to close tolerances and are therefore suitable for use in situations in which high precision is necessary. The ball assembly acts as the nut while the threaded shaft is the screw. In contrast to conventional lead screws, ball screws tend to be rather bulky, due to the need to have a mechanism to re-circulate the balls. The ball screw ensures high speed and high precision laser cutting.

Shuttle Table

The shuttle table, also known as a pallet changer, is a highly efficient addition to the balsa wood laser cutting process. Featuring a pass-through design, it allows for two-way material transport, streamlining the loading and unloading process. This design minimizes downtime and maximizes production efficiency, enabling you to load one pallet while the other is being cut, ensuring continuous operation.

To meet the diverse needs of different projects, the shuttle table is available in various sizes, tailored to fit all MimoWork laser cutting machines. Whether you’re working with small craft items or larger balsa wood sheets, the shuttle table enhances convenience, reduces handling time, and improves overall workflow, making it the perfect solution for high-volume cutting tasks.

Vector Laser Engraving Wood

Vector laser engraving on wood refers to using a laser cutter to etch or engrave designs, patterns, or text onto wood surfaces. Unlike raster engraving, which involves burning pixels to create the desired image, vector engraving uses paths defined by mathematical equations to produce precise and clean lines. This method allows for sharper and more detailed engravings on wood, as the laser follows the vector paths to create the design.
