In the advertising and woodworking industry, mechanical engraving machines and laser engraving machines are the most widely used devices. However, many people have a hard time accurately distinguishing the difference between these two types of equipment.laserpecker 2 laser engraver If you don't understand the difference between them, you can't accurately utilize them for production. Very often, users and friends are unable to accurately understand whether a workpiece should be processed with a mechanical engraving machine or a laser engraving machine. This is because people are not very familiar with these two kinds of equipment. Today, I will lead you to recognize them and understand the difference and connection between them.

The main difference between a mechanical engraving machine and a laser engraving machine is that the engraving and molding are different.laser pecker 4 The laser engraving machine uses the laser light source as the engraving energy to engrave, while the engraving of the mechanical engraving machine is to use the metal tool to engrave, the type and specifications of the tool are very high requirements.

The difference between mechanical engraving machine and laser engraving machine mainly has the following points:

1. In terms of engraving fineness, laser engraving has higher precision than tool engraving.laser pecker pro Because the laser engraving light source diameter is very small, while the tool engraving itself tool has a certain knife width, so in addition to the quality of the machine itself in addition to the accuracy of the tool also contains the requirements of the precision. 2.

2. in the choice of engraving materials, laser engraving on metal materials is difficult to achieve the depth of the engraving, but also may only be the metal surface coating engraving. While the tool engraving machine can do a certain depth of engraving, and even cutting.

3. Laser engraving is non-contact processing objects, for plane engraving will not need to fix the workpiece. And tool engraving because it is contact engraving, so the requirements of the workpiece to be fixed.

4. laser engraving laser tube there is a certain life time limit, and mechanical tool engraving does not exist time limit, but there will be tool wear, in the case of serious wear and tear is necessary to replace the tool.

5. In the case of plastic engraving, laser engraving may produce toxic gases that require a specific air purification system in order to release the exhaust gases into the air, whereas tool engraving machines do not pollute the air.

6. Laser engraving excels in its ability to engrave photographs directly in JPG format, which is not possible with tool engraving.

Of course, these are not the only differences between laser engraving and cutter engraving, there are many more differences in uses and features, and these are just a few examples.
