Laser Cutting Advanced Tutorial 05 - Ingenious Use of Focal Length

Image
Last week, we learned that different focal lengths have different effects on the cutting effect by cutting small pieces of wood, and we know that 6mm is the best cutting focal length. In addition, we have found that the width of the slit becomes wider as the focal length becomes larger. This issue: Laser Cutting Advanced Tutorial 05 - Ingenious Use of Focal Length List of items: Laser cutter : Nova 35 (80W) Glued wood board: 3mm parameter settings: Cutting speed: 20mm/s Cutting power: 25% Cutting focal length: 6mm, 15mm, 18mm Whether to blow: weak blowing Comparison of effects: We can compare the two samples, one is at a focal length of 6mm, and the other is at a focal length of 15mm. It can be seen that the 6mm focal length is very thin because of the slit, and it is necessary to ensure that the pattern is not cut through, and the power cannot be set too high, resulting in a pattern that is not obvious enough and lacks a sense of line. On the contrary,

Laser Cutting Advanced Tutorial 04 - Effect of focal length on cutting effect

After the three influencing factors of power, speed and blowing, the laser cutting advanced tutorial continues to describe the fourth factor that affects laser cutting, the focal length. The theme of this issue: Laser Cutting Advanced Tutorial 04 - The effect of focal length on cutting effect parameter settings: Cutting speed: 20mm/s Cutting power: 25% Cutting focal length: 6mm, 18mm, 24mm Whether to blow: weak blowing We also know that physics is the measure of the aggregation or divergence of light in an optical system. It also refers to the distance from the center of the lens to the focus of the light when the parallel light is incident. Simply put, the focal length is the distance between the focus and the center point of the mirror. The right focal length can make the best effect. So today, let's talk about the best focal length of Leiyu laser cutting machine. Comparison of effects: Comparison of effects We can see from the pictures that the differen

Laser Cutting Advanced Tutorial 03 - The effect of blowing on cutting

In the last two issues, we learned about the factors that affect the laser cutting effect, power and speed. So today, as always, let's talk about the next factor that affects the laser cutting effect - blowing. In this issue: Laser Cutting Advanced Tutorial 03 - The Influence of Blowing on Cutting things needed: Laser cutter : Nova 35 (80W) Glued wood board: 3mm parameter settings: Cutting speed: 20mm/s Cutting power: 25% Cutting focal length: 6mm Whether to blow: strong blowing, weak blowing, not blowing Comparison effect: The picture below shows the effect we just cut. We can see that there is a big difference between strong blowing, weak blowing and no blowing. Comparison effect It can be seen that the cutting effect of strong blowing is the best, the cutting edge is not not smoked by the smoke, and the cutting process is not caused by heavy smoke, and the processing process is more environmentally friendly and safe. strong blowing The weak
