▷ Features of 1325 Laser Cutter

A Giant Leap in Productivity

◾ Stable & Excellent Cutting Quality

Constant Optical Path Design

With the optimal output optical path length, the consistent laser beam at any point in the range of the cutting table can result in an even cut through the entire material, regardless of thickness. Thanks to that, you can get a better cutting effect for acrylic or wood than the half-flying laser path.

◾ High Efficiency and Precision

Efficient Transmission System

X-axis precision screw module, Y-axis unilateral ball screw provide excellent stability and precision for the high-speed movement of the gantry. Combined with servo motor, the transmission system creates fairly high production efficiency.

◾ Durable and Long Service Life

Stable Mechanical Structure

The machine body is welded with a 100mm square tube and undergoes vibration aging and natural aging treatment. Gantry and cutting head use integrated aluminum. The overall configuration ensures a stable working state.

◾ High Speed Processing

High Speed of Cutting and Engraving

Our 1300*2500mm laser cutter can achieve 1-60,000mm /min engraving speed and 1-36,000mm/min cutting speed.

At the same time, position accuracy is also guaranteed within 0.05mm, so that it can cut and engrave 1x1mm numbers or letters, totally no problem.

Mixed Laser Head

A mixed laser head, also known as a metal non-metallic laser cutting 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 thicknesses. 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.

CCD Camera

The CCD Camera can recognize and position the pattern on the printed acrylic, assisting laser cutter to realize accurate cutting with high quality. Any customized graphic design printed can be flexibly processed along the outline with the optical system, playing an important part in advertising and other industry.

1. Can I use any type of wood for laser cutting, or are there specific wood types that work best?

While you can laser cut various wood types, the results can differ. Hardwoods like oak, maple, and cherry are popular choices due to their density, which allows for precise and detailed cuts. Softer woods like pine can be cut, but they may require more laser power to achieve the desired results. Always consider the specific qualities of the wood in relation to your project's requirements.

2. What thickness of wood can a CO2 laser cutting machine handle effectively?

CO2 laser cutting machines are versatile and can handle a range of wood thicknesses. However, the ideal thickness often depends on the laser power of the machine. For a standard 150W CO2 laser cutter, you can effectively cut wood up to 20mm in thickness. If your project involves thicker wood, consider a machine with higher laser power to ensure a clean and efficient cut.

3. Are there any safety precautions I should take when laser cutting thick wood?

Yes, safety is paramount when working with lasers. Ensure proper ventilation in your workspace to remove fumes generated during the cutting process. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses. Additionally, make sure the wood is free from any coatings, finishes, or chemicals that might produce harmful fumes when exposed to the laser.

Wood Cutting: CNC Routers VS Laser

1. Advantages of CNC Routers

Historically, one of the primary benefits of opting for a router as opposed to a laser was its ability to achieve precise cutting depths. A CNC router offers the convenience of vertical adjustments (along the Z-axis), allowing for straightforward control over the depth of the cut. In simpler terms, you can adjust the cutter's height to selectively remove only a portion of the wood's surface.

2. Disadvantages of CNC Routers

Routers excel in handling gradual curves but have limitations when it comes to sharp angles. The precision they offer is constrained by the radius of the cutting bit. In simple terms, the width of the cut corresponds to the size of the bit itself. The smallest router bits typically have a radius of approximately 1 mm.

Since routers cut through friction, it's crucial to securely anchor the material to the cutting surface. Without proper fixation, the router's torque can result in the material spinning or shifting abruptly. Typically, wood is fastened in place using clamps. However, when a high-speed router bit is applied to tightly-clamped material, significant tension is generated. This tension has the potential to warp or harm the wood, presenting challenges when cutting very thin or delicate materials.

3. Advantages & Disadvantages of Laser

Similar to automated routers, laser cutters are controlled by a CNC (Computer Numerical Control) system. However, the fundamental distinction lies in their method of cutting. Laser cutters do not rely on friction; instead, they cut through materials using intense heat. A high-energy light beam effectively burns through wood, as opposed to the traditional carving or machining process.

As previously noted, the width of a cut is determined by the size of the cutting tool. While the smallest router bits have a radius of slightly less than 1 mm, a laser beam can be adjusted to have a radius as small as 0.1 mm. This capability allows for the creation of extremely intricate cuts with remarkable precision.

Because laser cutters utilize a burning process to cut through wood, they yield exceptionally sharp and crisp edges. Although this burning can lead to some discoloration, measures can be implemented to prevent undesired burn marks. Additionally, the burning action seals the edges, thereby minimizing the expansion and contraction of the cut wood.
