Introduction of engraving machine and daily maintenance work

   Engraving is a kind of drilling and milling combined processing from the principle of machining. The various data input modes of the engraving machine are more than necessary. Because the engraving machine has a wide range of applications, it is necessary to understand the most suitable range of applications for various engraving machines. The low power is only suitable for two-color boards, architectural models, small signage, three-dimensional crafts and so on. Because the power is too small, it greatly affects the scope of its application. The high-power engraving machine can do things like a low-power engraving machine. Ideal for large cuts, reliefs, and engravings. Let's take a look at the application range of various engraving machines:
    Woodworking engraving machine application range:
    Woodworking industry: furniture decoration, musical instrument industry, wooden handicraft industry, large-area plate flat engraving, solid wood furniture, solid wood art murals, MDF paint-free doors, composite doors, cabinet doors, bedside tables, screen engravings, etc.
    Mold industry: can engrave a variety of molds, wood molds, aviation wood molds, propellers, automotive foam molds.
    Advertising engraving machine application range:
    1. Advertising industry: Acrylic, two-color board, PVC, ABS board, aluminum-plastic board engraving and cutting, all kinds of signs, badges, signage, copper, fonts, fonts, all kinds of signs, trademarks and other materials.
    2. Crafts industry: artificial stone crafts, souvenirs on the various types of text, graphics.
    3. Mold processing: architectural model, physical model, bronzing mold, high frequency mode, micro injection mold, shoe mold, badge, embossing mold, biscuit, chocolate, candy mold.
    4. Seal industry: It can be easily engraved on horns, plastics, organic boards, wood, storage mats and other materials.
    Stone engraving machine application range:
    Granite, marble, artificial stone, tombstone, milestone, tile, bluestone, sandstone and other stone carvings.
    Hard stone such as granite can be carved to 5mm in layers; marble, bluestone, etc. can be engraved to 5mm at a time.

    So, how do these engraving machines do in daily maintenance? What are the precautions?
    1. The continuous running time of the engraving machine is less than 10 hours per day to ensure the cleaning of the cooling water and the normal operation of the water pump. The water-cooled spindle motor must not be dehydrated, and the cooling water should be replaced regularly to prevent the water temperature from being too high.
    2. Every time the machine is used, the engraving machine should be cleaned. It is necessary to clean the dust on the platform and the transmission system. Regularly (weekly) lubricate the transmission system (X.Y.Z three-axis).
    3. If the engraving machine is not used for a long time, it should be refueled regularly (weekly) to ensure the flexibility of the transmission system.
    4. The engraving machine cleans the dust inside the electrical box regularly (depending on the use) and checks whether the screw of the terminal is loose to ensure the safe and reliable use of the circuit.
    5. The engraving machine periodically checks (depending on the use) whether the screws of the various parts of the machine are loose.

The difference between laser cutting and laser engraving in small laser engraving machine

       Woodworking and wood carvings appeared thousands of years ago. When humans appeared, ancient people began to make things with wood and stone (we don't know what will happen first). In the Middle Ages, carpentry became the foundation of the economy, and people built ships, houses, horse-drawn carriages, etc., which required wood. Now we have more metal, plastic, cloth and glass products. There are many reasons why I want to give you an overview of how to do something. Today we will discuss the difference between laser cutting and laser engraving for small laser engraving machines.
       A lot of good things can be done by hand: but CNC machines can also help us do more beautiful things. Mechanical woodworking has opened up a new field of art. The 8W laser can be installed at the same time: cutting and laser engraving. The laser can be laser engraved and laser cut, you need to cut into small pieces. CNC milling machines with 8W lasers can do some very good artwork. Every day, we get pictures of our customers sharing their results with us. It is easy to operate CNC machines without special knowledge and experience.
What you must know is the basics. And find the best parameters for speed, intensity and frequency to get the expected results.
       We also explained how to convert images to gcode using Inkscape software with JTech Photoinics or a persistent laser plugin. We believe that woodworking and laser engraving are a good hobby, and can also be a small company to do some cool things in the small workshop. Another interesting option is laser engraving. Nothing is difficult. Simply select an image and upload it to the software (ACAN, ACAN mini or CNCC LaserAxe, BenBox, etc.) and take care of all other machines and software. Finally, you can see such a beautiful image on a piece of wood or plywood.
This is the ability we want to share about small laser engraving machines.
