What Are the Types of Laser Cutting Machines?
Laser cutting uses laser instead of physical cutting tools or high-temperature flame cutting. Due to the characteristics of laser, it has significant advantages over traditional cutting.In addition to the power of laser cutting, the optical properties of the laser have the greatest impact on cutting,Such as wavelength, pulse width, pulse repetition frequency, etc.Depending on the type of laser, the current industrial laser equipment is mainly divided into fiber laser, CO2 laser and YAG laser.Fib...
CNC Lathe Tool Setting Method
What Is "Tool Setting" in CNC Machines?In CNC machining operations, the tool setting refers to a series of operations performed to determine the relative positional relationship between the tool and the workpiece or machine reference point, and then input this data into the CNC system to ensure the machine can accurately complete the machining process according to the program. Simply put, it is about telling the machine "where the tool is currently located," thereby enabling the system to calcul...
CNC Wood Lathes vs Manual Wood Lathes
Traditional WoodworkingBefore the emergence of woodworking lathes, humans have always processed various types of wood products by hand.Traditional manual processing has a long history, and the various processing techniques and tools related to it have also been refined and developed in the long history. It represents the essence of human wisdom and craftsmanship. It is not only a skill, but also a cultural and historical heritage.With the progress of human civilization, manual woodworking proces...
What Are the Factors Affecting Fiber Laser Cutting?
There are numerous factors affecting the cutting speed of fiber laser cutting machines, which can be primarily categorized into laser parameters, characteristics of the processed material, cutting process parameters, and machine performance.Laser ParametersThe cutting principle of fiber laser cutting machines involves using high-energy laser beams to melt and cut materials. Therefore, laser parameters are the most direct factors influencing cutting speed.Laser power: For the same material and wi...
How to Choose a Fiber Laser Cutting Machine?
Step 1: Conduct an In-Depth Analysis of Your RequirementsThis is the most critical step, determining the direction of all subsequent choices. Please answer the following questions:What materials will be cut?Carbon steel: This is the most common application, and all fiber laser machines excel at it.Stainless steel/aluminum/brass: Higher-pressure nitrogen is required as an assist gas to achieve an oxide-free cut surface. This places higher demands on laser stability and gas pressure.Highly reflect...
How to Select the Milling Tools for CNC Wood Router?
A milling tool is a cutting tool with a cylindrical shape, featuring cutting edges on its circumference and bottom, which performs rotational motion to cut and machine workpieces.The milling tool family is very extensive. Together with hole-making tools (drills, reamers, taps, boring tools, etc.), they cover almost all commonly used processing tools on CNC wood router machines.Types of Milling ToolsMilling tools can be classified into various categories based on different criteria. Below are sev...
