Advanced Laser Engraving Tutorial 02—Influence of laser power on engraving


Parameters set in this tutorial:

Engraving speed: 500mm / s

Engraving clearance: 0.08

We know that there are many aspects of engraving on the machine that affect the engraving effect, such as power, speed, air blowing, focal length, interval, etc. It can be said that different factors have different effects on engraving. So why put the power first? Is there a relationship between power and energy? What effect does the power change have on engraving?

In fact, putting power in the first place is, of course, a parameter we often set. The effect of engraving varies with the power parameter setting. When the power of engraving is greater, the energy of laser engraving will be greater, and the impact on the engraved object will be greater. When the energy is smaller, the laser energy is smaller, and the impact on the sculpted object is smaller.

We can look at the pictures carved this time.

It is not difficult to see that there are obvious changes from top to bottom. As the power increases, the depth of the engraving becomes more and more obvious, and the color becomes deeper. This shows what?

"The greater the power, the higher the energy, the deeper the engraving"

Conversely "the smaller the power, the smaller the energy, the shallower the carving

The conclusion from the above phenomenon also shows that the size of the power setting is directly proportional to the laser energy (when other parameter settings are unchanged). Therefore, when sculpting, you can set the power according to your needs to make the best results.

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
