Upgrade Options for you to choose

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 thicknesses. 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.

CCD Camera

The CCD Camera can recognize and position the pattern on the printed acrylic, assisting laser cutter to realize accurate cutting with high quality. Any customized graphic design printed can be flexibly processed along the outline with the optical system, playing an important part in advertising and other industry.

2. What thickness of wood can a CO2 laser cutting machine handle effectively?

CO2 laser cutting machines are versatile and can handle a range of wood thicknesses. However, the ideal thickness often depends on the laser power of the machine. For a standard 150W CO2 laser cutter, you can effectively cut wood up to 20mm in thickness. If your project involves thicker wood, consider a machine with higher laser power to ensure a clean and efficient cut.

3. Are there any safety precautions I should take when laser cutting thick wood?

Yes, safety is paramount when working with lasers. Ensure proper ventilation in your workspace to remove fumes generated during the cutting process. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses. Additionally, make sure the wood is free from any coatings, finishes, or chemicals that might produce harmful fumes when exposed to the laser.

Wood Cutting: CNC Routers VS Laser

1. Advantages of CNC Routers

Historically, one of the primary benefits of opting for a router as opposed to a laser was its ability to achieve precise cutting depths. A CNC router offers the convenience of vertical adjustments (along the Z-axis), allowing for straightforward control over the depth of the cut. In simpler terms, you can adjust the cutter’s height to selectively remove only a portion of the wood’s surface.

2. Disadvantages of CNC Routers

Routers excel in handling gradual curves but have limitations when it comes to sharp angles. The precision they offer is constrained by the radius of the cutting bit. In simple terms, the width of the cut corresponds to the size of the bit itself. The smallest router bits typically have a radius of approximately 1 mm.

Since routers cut through friction, it’s crucial to securely anchor the material to the cutting surface. Without proper fixation, the router’s torque can result in the material spinning or shifting abruptly. Typically, wood is fastened in place using clamps. However, when a high-speed router bit is applied to tightly-clamped material, significant tension is generated. This tension has the potential to warp or harm the wood, presenting challenges when cutting very thin or delicate materials.

3. Advantages & Disadvantages of Laser

Similar to automated routers, laser cutters are controlled by a CNC (Computer Numerical Control) system. However, the fundamental distinction lies in their method of cutting. Laser cutters do not rely on friction; instead, they cut through materials using intense heat. A high-energy light beam effectively burns through wood, as opposed to the traditional carving or machining process.

As previously noted, the width of a cut is determined by the size of the cutting tool. While the smallest router bits have a radius of slightly less than 1 mm, a laser beam can be adjusted to have a radius as small as 0.1 mm. This capability allows for the creation of extremely intricate cuts with remarkable precision.

Because laser cutters utilize a burning process to cut through wood, they yield exceptionally sharp and crisp edges. Although this burning can lead to some discoloration, measures can be implemented to prevent undesired burn marks. Additionally, the burning action seals the edges, thereby minimizing the expansion and contraction of the cut wood.
