What Are the Best Tips for Laser Cutting Wood?

Wooden board and plexiglass laser cutting machine JG-13090SG / JGSH-13090SG, with a wide processing range and large working area, and the use of a humanized automatic lifting work platform design, which makes the equipment more suitable for processing various format materials Different thickness materials guarantee the best focus and processing results. It can also cooperate with the rotating device to perform fine carving of various non-metal cylindrical materials such as bamboo and wood.

Ordinary mechanical engraving cannot engraving dots of different thicknesses in an economical manner, so it does not have a grayscale expression. Laser engraving machine realizes engraving by dots, which has natural advantages in grayscale expression. For this reason, the grayscale expression form should be used as much as possible in the engraving design. This has the advantages of reducing the coloring process and saving costs on the one hand, and enriching the expression means of engraving on the other hand, and increasing the level of graphics. When users use it, first fill the graphics with different gray levels (the text must be converted into graphics first), and select the black and white mode for engraving output. You can try the effect of different dots, and the accuracy is generally not more than 500dpi.

Carving materials

Logs (raw wood)

Wood is by far the most commonly used laser-machined material and is easily carved and cut. Light-colored wood like birch, cherry or maple is easily vaporized by laser and is therefore more suitable for carving. Each kind of wood has its own characteristics, and some are denser, such as hardwood, which requires greater laser power when carving or cutting. We recommend that you study the carving characteristics before carving less familiar wood.

Plywood

In fact, carving on plywood is not much different from carving on wood, but it is important to note that the carving depth should not be too deep. After cutting, the edges of the plywood will be black like wood. The key is to see what kind of wood the plywood is made of.

Wood carving

Generally speaking, the carving on wood is usually Yin carving, and the carving depth is generally deeper. In this way, the power is generally set higher. If it encounters harder wood, the color of the engraved graphics will become darker. If you want to make the color lighter, you can increase the engraving speed and try to engrav it several times. Some wood will produce some oil fume on the wood surface when carving. If the wood has been painted with paint, you can wipe it off carefully with a wet cloth. If it is not painted, it may not be cleaned and the surface of the finished product will be stained.

Wood cutting

Laser engraving machine generally does not cut wood deep. The maximum cutting depth depends on the wood material and laser power. If you want to cut very thick wood, you can slow down the cutting speed, but it may cause wood burning. For specific operations, you can try using large-sized lenses, and use repeated cutting methods.

Coloring

Wood carving generally has a burning sensation. It has an original artistic beauty when matched with the wooden background. The depth of the color mainly depends on the laser power and carving speed. But some woods are usually softer, and you ca nt change their color anyway (such as

The focusing lens is used to focus the CO ₂ laser beam on the surface of the material to melt the material.At the same time, the compressed material is blown away with the compressed gas coaxial with the laser beam, and the laser beam and the material are moved relative to each other along a certain trajectory to form a certain Shape cut. Since the 1970s, with the continuous improvement and development of CO ₂ laser and numerical control technology, it has become an advanced processing method for sheet cutting in industry. In the 1950s and 1960s, as the main method of blanking and cutting of plates, oxyacetylene flame cutting was used for medium and thick plates. Shears were used for thin plates. Stamping was used in large quantities for forming complex parts, and vibration shears were used for single pieces. After the 1970s, in order to improve and improve the quality of flame cuts, oxyethane precision flame cutting and plasma cutting were promoted. In order to reduce the manufacturing cycle of large-scale stamping dies, numerical control nibbling and electrical machining technology have been developed. Various cutting and blanking methods have their shortcomings and have a certain scope of application in industrial production.
