How to use fiber laser cutting machine to cut metal signs？
Acquiring knowledge before laser cutting metal is essential for achieving optimal results. Before starting, make sure all necessary
supplies and equipment are ready, and ensure that your workspace is clean and free of dust and debris to avoid interfering with
the operation of the fiber laser metal cutting machine.
Preparation work
Before marking with a laser cutting machine, the following tools and materials need to be prepared:
1. Laser cutting machine: Before starting cutting, make sure your fiber cutter is set up and working properly. This includes setting
up gas cylinders for cutting, checking the water cooling system for optimal circulation, adjusting the laser tube properly, and
focusing the lens properly.
2. Marking computer: Install the marking software and familiarize yourself with its usage. Check the software to ensure that your
design is displayed correctly on the computer. Before starting the laser cutting metal process, you need to confirm that the design
on the software matches the final product appearance you want.
3. Marking materials: Choose according to your needs, commonly used materials include metal, non-metal, plastic, wood, etc.
4. Ordinary paper: used to test whether the laser parameters are set appropriately.
Choose appropriate marking materials
Different laser cutting machines require the selection of different marking materials. For metal materials, it is necessary to use
materials with special coatings engraved on them and require higher power lasers. For non-metallic materials, ordinary printing
materials or label paper can be used. When selecting materials, attention should be paid to the durability and marking effect of
the materials.
Set laser parameters properly
The quality and effectiveness of laser marking are closely related to the setting of laser parameters. Before marking, it is necessary
to set parameters such as laser power, marking speed, and frequency to achieve the best marking effect. Generally speaking, the
faster the marking speed and the higher the laser power, the better the engraving effect will be. But it also needs to be adjusted
reasonably according to the characteristics and requirements of the material.
Marking operation
When performing marking operations, the following points should be noted:
1. Place the prepared materials on the workbench of the laser cutting machine and secure them in place.
2. Open the marking software, import the marking pattern or text, and set the parameters such as position
and size.
3. Align the laser head of the laser cutting machine with the correct position of the material.
4. Start the laser cutting machine, and the laser head will start carving according to the preset parameters.
Subsequent processing
After completing the marking, further processing of the material is required. For metal materials, after laser cutting metal
identification, clean the metal with a soft cloth and external alcohol. Laser cut metal plates may also have sharp edges or rough
surfaces, so use fine sandpaper to remove any roughness.
For non-metallic materials, edge cutting or removal of waste materials is required after marking.
In short, the correct marking method can produce high-quality marking results. I hope the methods introduced above can provide
assistance for marking your laser cutting machine.
