What is laser engraving? How to do laser engraving?

Laser engraving, that is, through the laser beam can lead to chemical and physical changes on the surface of the material and engraving traces, or through the light can be burned off some of the material, showing the need to etch the graphics, text; according to the different methods of engraving can be divided into lattice engraving and vector engraving.

"Thermal processing" high energy density laser beam (is a concentrated energy flow) irradiated on the surface of the material to be processed, the material surface to absorb handheld laser engraver & laser cutter, in the irradiated area to produce thermal excitation process, so that the material surface (or coating) temperature rises, resulting in metamorphosis, melting, ablation, evaporation and other phenomena.

Dot matrix for engraving as well as dot matrix engraving a cool high definition dot matrix information printing. Laser head left and right began to swing, each time carving a line composed of a series of dots, and then the laser head at the same time enterprises up and down through the movement of the carving of a number of lines, and finally can be composed of a full-page image or text. Scanned graphics, text and vectorized graphic content can be directly engraved using different dot matrix.

Vector engraving is different from grid engraving. Vector cutting is done on the contour lines of images and text. We usually use this way to cut materials such as wood, acrylic, paper, etc. We can also perform marking work on various material surfaces.

Engraving Speed:laserpecker 11 pro speed refers to the movement speed of the laser head, usually expressed in IPS (inches per second). High speed results in high productivity. Speed is also used to control the depth of cut. For a given laser intensity, the slower the speed, the greater the depth of cut or engraving.

The speed can be adjusted by the engraver panel or by computerized operating software. Adjustment is 1% over a range of 1% to 100% . The motor's advanced motion control system allows you to engrave at high speeds and still get super fine engraving quality.

Engraving Intensity:Engraving intensity is the intensity at which the laser is incident on the surface of the material. For a given engraving speed, the greater the intensity, the greater the depth of cut or engraving. The intensity can be adjusted using the engraver panel or by using the computer's operating software. The adjustment is 1% in the range of 1% to 100%. The greater the intensity, the smaller the equivalent speed. The deeper the wound.

Spot size: laser beam spot size companies can utilize students with different focal lengths of the lens can be self-adjusting. Small spot lenses are used for high resolution engraving. Large spot lenses are used for horizontal lower resolution engraving, but for a vector cut, it is an optimal choice.
