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.

Mixed Laser Head

A mixed laser head, is a very important part of the metal & non-metal combined laser cutting machine. With this professional laser head, you can use the laser cutter for wood and metal to cut both metal and non-metal materials. There is a Z-Axis transmission part of the laser head that moves up and down to track the focus position. Its double drawer structure enables you to put two different focus lenses to cut the materials of different thicknesses without adjustment of focus distance or beam alignment. It increases cutting flexibility and makes the operation very easy. You can use different assist gas for different cutting jobs.

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.

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.

FAQ - Laser Cutting Wood & Laser Engraving Wood

# What to note before laser cutting & engraving wood?

It's important to note that different types of wood have varying densities and moisture content, which can affect the laser-cutting process. Some woods may require adjustments to the laser cutter settings to achieve the best results. Additionally, when laser-cutting wood, proper ventilation and exhaust systems are essential to remove the smoke and fumes generated during the process.

>> More Tips About Laser Cutting Wood

# How thick of wood can a laser cutter cut?

With a CO2 laser cutter, the thickness of wood that can be effectively cut depends on the power of the laser and the type of wood being used. It's important to keep in mind that the cutting thickness may vary depending on the specific CO2 laser cutter and the power output. Some high-powered CO2 laser cutters may be able to cut thicker wood materials, but it's essential to refer to the specifications of the particular laser cutter being used for precise cutting capabilities. Additionally, thicker wood materials may require slower cutting speeds and multiple passes to achieve clean and precise cuts.

# Can a laser machine cut wood of all types?

Yes, a CO2 laser can cut and engrave wood of all types, including birch, maple, plywood, MDF, cherry, mahogany, alder, poplar, pine, and bamboo. Extremely dense or hard solid woods like oak or ebony require higher laser power to process. However, among all kinds of processed wood, and chipboard, due to the high impurity content, it is not recommended to use laser processing

# Is it possible for a laser wood cutter to harm the wood it's working on?

To safeguard the integrity of the wood around your cutting or etching project, it's crucial to ensure the settings are appropriately configured. For detailed guidance on the proper setup, consult the MimoWork Wood Laser Engraving Machine manual or explore the additional support resources available on our website.

Once you've dialed in the correct settings, you can rest assured that there is no risk of damaging the wood adjacent to your project's cut or etch lines. This is where the distinctive capability of CO2 laser machines shines through – their exceptional precision sets them apart from conventional tools like scroll saws and table saws.
