Laser Cutting Advanced Tutorial 01: Power impact on cutting

Hello friends, The first issue of this blog is Laser Cutting Advanced Tutorial 01: Power impact on cutting.The main content is to introduce the effect of different power on cutting, mainly in visual effects.
List of items:

laser machine : Nova 35 (80W)

laser soft: RD works

Glued wood board: 3mm

parameter settings:

Cutting speed: 20mm/s

Cutting power: 1%, 10%, 50%, 70%

Cutting focal length: 6mm

Whether to blow: weak blowing

Comparison effect:

We can first see the effect of the cut:

In the picture, the depth of the horizontal lines cut by the lasers of different powers on the wooden blocks is obviously different.

At constant speed, change the amount of power to see the effect. We can see that the depth of the cut will gradually increase as the power increases.

When the power is 1% and 10%, it can be seen that the cut on the block is relatively shallow.



When the power is increased to 50% and 70%, the cut marks of the wood block become deeper and the color becomes black. The depth of the side slits directly reflects the effect of the change in power on the cutting effect.

conclusion:

Therefore, in summary, we can get a conclusion like this:
  1. The higher the power, the higher the energy, the deeper the cu
  2. The smaller the power, the smaller the energy and the shallower the cut
  3. Power is an important factor affecting the depth of cut

Advanced Laser Engraving Tutorial 01—The Effect of Speed on Engraving

Image
Ready to work: Tool: Laser cutting machine (80W) Glued wood: 3mm parameter settings: Engraving power: 15% Engraving interval: 0.08 Whether to blow: weak blow Focal length: 6mm The effect of the above picture is very obvious. When other parameters are the same when we are sculpting, the faster the speed, the lighter the sculpting effect, the less obvious the yellowing effect, and the shorter the time it is used, that is In the case, when we set the speed to the maximum, the work efficiency will be faster. On the contrary, when our engraving speed is smaller, the longer the engraving time is, the yellowing phenomenon becomes more serious, so the effect of engraving will be deeper. in conclusion: We also draw a conclusion: the faster the speed, the shallower the engraving effect, and the higher the efficiency; on the contrary, the slower the speed, the deeper the engraving effect, and the lower the efficiency. When the speed is constant at t

This issue: Laser Cutting Advanced Tutorial 08 - Paper Cutting Tips Tool material: Laser cutting machine : Thunderlaser Nova 35 (80watt) Hard cardboard and A4 paper represent several sheets of soft paper parameter settings: Cutting speed: 350mm/s Cutting power: 15% - 35% Cutting focal length: 6mm Whether to blow: strong blowing When laser cutting paper, you need to pay attention to the choice of materials and the setting of parameters. Let's analyze it briefly. Comparison of effects: 1. Material selection The choice of materials is especially important when cutting paper with a laser. We have selected two very different types of paper, one is A4 paper represented by softness, rice paper, and the other is paper represented by hard cardboard. After experimental testing, we can see that the effect of cutting two kinds of paper is also very different. Why? Let me explain each one below. The effect of the soft texture paper represented by A4 paper It c
