Laser cutting is one of the most popular material processing methods at present. It has been fully used in many industries such as automobile manufacturing, tableware and kitchenware, advertising decoration, aerospace, and so on. For new operators, it is not difficult to learn to control laser equipment. The following are DXTECH’s suggestions about laser cutting for beginners
Learn how to operate the software
Most laser cutting machines are used with dedicated control software. The operator should master the basic operation and parameter setting. For operators, it is necessary to have a basic understanding of coordinate systems and vector diagrams. When using, they should know the concepts of format, coordinate system, and vector diagram. At the same time, they should have basic knowledge of image editing software such as CAD, CDR, and AI.
In addition to general drawing knowledge, the operator also needs to understand the related operation of laser software for images. Although different laser software will have different operation modes, the mainstream laser software will not have much difference in image processing. Therefore, novices need to be trained by manufacturers or learn about these contents by themselves.
Learn the basic knowledge of laser processing
Different from traditional cutting, laser cutting is a non-contact thermal process. Therefore, we need to know all kinds of knowledge about lasers. It includes the influence of laser power, pulse frequency, laser speed, type of auxiliary gas, focus position, and other factors. This kind of knowledge is the core point of laser operation and has the most direct influence on the processing results. Therefore, this is the point where operators need to study hard most.
In addition, different materials have different characteristics and requirements during laser cutting. Therefore, we need to know the laser cutting parameters of common materials (such as wood, plastic, metal, etc.). In this way, the correct settings can be selected when using the laser cutting machine.
Study the knowledge about machines
This part is common knowledge in the machinery industry. It includes components such as laser power, cutting head, beam transmission component, workbench, NC system, and cooling system. Relatively speaking, this is a more familiar part of the operator. Generally speaking, there are logos and indicators on laser equipment. For novices, this part can be understood after several operations.
Conclusion
In summary, Laser Cutting for Beginners wants to learn the operation of software, the basic knowledge of laser processing, and the knowledge of the machine. After mastering this knowledge, we can carve the pattern into the materials that need to be processed. However, the specific parameter depends on the material type, processing accuracy, and production efficiency of the processing object. At the same time, we also need to consider the safety during processing.
