Advantages Of Carbon Dioxide Laser Cutting Machine

The carbon dioxide laser cutting machine, or CO2 laser cutter is a type of CNC laser machine using CO2 laser technology to cut and engrave materials. As the CO2 laser cutting machine can also engrave, the CO2 laser cutting machine is also called CO2 laser engraving machine or CO2 laser engraver. Besides, some people also call it wood laser cutter or acrylic laser cutter, etc

CO2 Laser Cutting MachineFirst we should know the components of the carbon dioxide laser cutting machine .

The co2 laser cutting engraving machine has three parts:
1. Control part 2. Motion part 3. Light source part
Control part: It is composed of control software, central control motherboard and driver, etc.
Moving part: It is composed of guide rail, motor, belt, etc.
Light source part: It is composed of a laser power supply and a laser tube.

The principle of carbon dioxide laser cutting machine is to use the vibration of carbon dioxide molecules and the transition between rotating energy levels to produce laser.

The discharge tube of carbon oxide laser is filled with mixed gases such as carbon oxide, whose ratio and total pressure can vary in a certain range.

Any molecule has three different forms of motion:

First, the motion of electrons in a molecule determines their energy states.
The second is the vibration of atoms in the molecule, that is, atoms vibrate periodically around their equilibrium position, which determines that the vibration energy of the molecule is too high.

Third, the rotation of the molecule determines the rotational energy state of the molecule.
The CO2 carbon dioxide laser cutting machine uses a focusing mirror to focus the CO2 laser beam on the surface of the material to melt the material, and at the same time use the compressed gas coaxial with the laser beam to blow away the melted material, and make the laser beam and the material move relative to each other along a certain track , So as to form a certain shape of the slit.

6090 Laser Engraving MachineLet’s take a look at some of the benefits of carbon dioxide laser cutting machine :

1. Safety
This is an important consideration. The infrared wavelengths of a CO2 laser are more completely absorbed by the machine’s framework, which greatly reduces the risk of permanent retinal damage through light leakage.
This contrasts with a fiber laser, whose smaller wavelength (1μm) allows the light to spill through small openings, with a greater risk of eye damage.

2. Versatility
The CO2 laser is endlessly versatile when it comes to the different types of materials it will cut.
Obviously, it is commonly used for precision metal cuts. But it’s also true that these laser cutters can be used on many other non-metallic materials—including plastics and paper.
A CO2 laser cutting machine is also perfect for varying material thicknesses, producing consistent quality throughout.

3. High Speed
Carbon dioxide laser cutters are fast at what they do. Their operation is simple, and very easy to control and automate thanks to precision laser cutting software.

4. Less Thermal Deformation
Because of the speed and accuracy of the CO2 laser, and the extreme concentration of heat and energy, there is less danger of thermal deformation to the surrounding material.
In other words, this type of laser doesn’t compromise the overall structural integrity of the material to be cut.

5. Cost Savings
Operating a CO2 laser is comparatively inexpensive, and greatly reduces production costs. Its speed and versatility streamlines operations and increases efficiency. And its ability to create quality cuts on thick plate metals, such as stainless steel and aluminum, is a further cost advantage.
