Spring Making / Wire Bending Machine

Spring Making / Wire Bending Machine

Well, this machine is not only about making springs. It is a wire bending machine capable of bending 0.8/0.9/1 mm wire into any 2D shape. But yeah, the coolest thing I was able to make with it so far was the spring. How cool is that?Get more news about spring forming machine producer,you can vist our website!

The main goal was to make it quite precise. Other DIY wire bending machines are not very precise and their bends tend to have quite a big radius. I like to work with nice sharp bends!

The second goal was to make it as easy to build as possible with commonly available parts and components. All the structural parts are 3D-printed and all the metal parts are available in most of the hardware stores.

Why I build this? Check out my other creations. I am a passionate free-form electronic circuits artist and this awesome machine will ease my job when doing repetitive tasks or when there are a need identical parts.

I've tried to record the whole build to help you understand it. It's always better to see the build in action. Continue with steps below to collect all the material and start building step by step! All the STL files for the plastic parts are available in the project's GitHub repository. Download them and start printing. I always design the parts to omit the need for using supports so the post-processing is much easier and parts are cleaner.

I was printing with 0.15mm layer height, 3 perimeters and 40% infill with Gyroid pattern setup. It does not matter if you use PLA or PETG. The parts will not get hot so PLA is just fine. Below is a list of all the parts that you will need for the build. See you in 2 days! (That's the print estimated time). While you are printing the plastic parts let's have a look at how the wire bender works and what components it consists of (from right to left):

Spool holder - it holds the spool of wire for the machine to process. Straightener rollers - set of 7 rollers to make the wire as straight as possible. Working with straight wire is crucial. That's also why there are 2 of them in a row. Feeder - you can find a similar mechanism in your 3D printer. A set of gears that pull the wire from the spool, through the rollers and pushes it to the bending head. The feeding gear must have enough drag on the wire so it will not slip thus making the machine inaccurate. More on that later. Bender - by rotating the pin on its head it bends the wire into programmed shape. It is all controlled by a single Arduino UNO with a CNC shield. Arduino takes commands from computers and translated them into movements of the stepper motors. Like any other CNC machine.

It is an effective device as well as mainly used by metal processing companies and also companies whose line of business refer to the cutting and handling of the various kinds of steels. Among the inquiries that may be increased is the capability of the device to eliminate a part of the entire whole.

 What Is Laser Reducing as well as What Can Be Cut Utilizing a Laser Cutter

 Laser cutters make use of a laser beam of light for cutting products, and are generally utilized for commercial production applications. The reducing works by routing the result of a high-power laser, at the material to be cut. The product thaws (at the light beam course), burns, evaporates away, or is blown away by a jet of gas, leaving a high-quality surface area coating edges. Those CNC equipments utilizes a computer as well as cutting software that takes a layout file as well as executes it on the product to be reduced to generate the wanted cut.

 Laser construction sustains the cutting of a pattern within a pattern. Here are some of the products a laser cutter can reduce:

 It permits a level of precision as well as complexity not feasible if making use of traditional machining devices. It is optimal for reducing flexible semi-rigid as well as soft materials. The laser cutter utilizes a high-density as well as powerful light power running through its laser light beam, which consequently burns the material. The laser beam of light is usually 0.2 mm (0.008 inches) in diameter at the reducing surface area, with a power of 1000-2000 watts.

 It will generate any kind of 2D shape, consisting of shapes intermediaries and also inserts, making use of a CAD data. Its main benefits are high precision, good quality cuts, high processing speed, reduced contortion of the eliminated material and also capability to reduce little openings and also little product (as small as 1m in size). Nevertheless, cutting thick foam sheets will certainly lead to much slower production time than cutting slim layers. In addition, each maker has its own density of material it can cut. If the sheet to be cut is thicker than the laser cutter's capabilities, the cuts ought to be made by layers, and afterwards can be glued with each other.

 There are limitless numbers of industries and markets using it to fabricate items: Prototyping, Furniture, Product Packaging, Situations & instruments inlays, Building and construction, Robotics, fashion jewelry, ornaments, custom gifts, computer case components, scale model components, RC models, art items, custom-made indicators, letters & logos therefore many more.

 CNC Plasma Cutter Advantages And Disadvantages

 For over half a century, plasma cutters have actually been the preferred technique of reducing metal. Considering that the 70's, they have gained market large approval because they supply several benefits over various other cutting methods.

 Allow's take a look at some of the Advantages and disadvantages of CNC plasma reducing devices.

 Pros:

 Rapid - no preheating called for, so the torch can begin reducing quickly. With accelerate to 500IPM, it can match laser cutters depending upon the sort of component.

Functional - efficient in piercing, complex cutting and also beveling in one procedure. Plasma cutters can effectively reduce any kind of electrically conductive metal approximately 6" thick.

High Cut High quality - much less dross and also top quality edges. Tight integration between the cutting lantern and software cause excellent quality manufacturing.

Easy to Use - while a CNC maker may seem complicated, the CNC (computer numerically managed) software takes the majority of the assumption work out of reducing. With a state-of-the-art package, also a first time driver can generating incredible results.

Safe - most quality systems provide an exhaust or down-draft system to draw smoke away from the operator.

Cons:

 Solidified Edges - the plasma will certainly create a heat affected area as well as set the edges of the product being cut.

Dross - The majority of plasma cut parts will have some dross that requires to be cleaned from the part however this has actually been minimized with today's high efficiency plasma cutting systems

Expense - CNC plasma cutters can set you back more, however quicker cutting speed and also high cut quality permit faster production with less labor intensive secondary operations. The long term efficiency as well as precision are aspects which figure right into the total price of a plasma cutter, not just the price.

Several low-price, mid to low-grade plasma cutters are readily available on the marketplace today. Poor layout, poor workmanship, older modern technology and inefficient parts substantially reduce the life of a deal plasma cutter and keep companies from understanding the efficiency gains as well as price savings they were expecting. What appears like a lot in advance, will certainly wind up costing you time and money in the future.

 Details on Laser Cutter

 The use of laser cutters is coming to be progressively common with every passing day. This is happening primarily due to the developments occurring in the world of innovation. The increasing demand for goods made using these cutting tools have required both big factory and small companies to replace the conventional mechanical reducing procedures with them. These tools can complete jobs in very little time, which is one more reason behind their enormous popularity.

 Allow us start by clarifying to you the standard functioning treatment of these machines. The laser light beam used by these reducing machines usually has a diameter of 0.2 mm when it fulfills the reducing surface. The entry diameter of the beam of light is generally larger than the exit size.

 The light beam needs to be powered by electrical power of 1,000 to 2,000 watts. An additional essential part of the maker is the collection of mirrors it comes equipped with. These mirrors straight laser light beams discharged by the device towards the product the individual is wanting to reduce.

 Jobs done making use of laser cutters could entail the CNC process. The term CNC process describes an approach during which a device strikes openings of different sizes in a provided product. At times, makers also use this method for producing various other sort of interior features in the product. Laser cutting, when utilized alone, is indicated for adding intricate external functions to a provide product.

 These gadgets cuts in kind of digital data created by CAD drawing or attracting done making use of computer-aided layout. This gives birth to complex flat-form components. Having a CNC equipment is necessary for makers looking to profile components using laser cutters. This is due to the fact that punching the material is important before profiling it.

 The following concern that must be arising in the minds of most of the readers at this moment is regarding the product kinds that can be reduced utilizing laser cutters. These devices are meant mainly for cutting through products such as stainless steel and carbon steel. These equipments find it difficult to cut through copper and also aluminum alloys as those materials possess the capability of showing light as well as thus end up reflecting the laser beam.

 An Introduction to Laser Cutters

 Use of laser cutters is pretty typical today. The past couple of years have observed numerous large factory as well as small companies replacing their traditional mechanical cutting home appliances with advanced laser cutters. The major reason behind the significant appeal delighted in by these cutting makers is their capability of using accuracy. These machines make use of high power laser beams for cutting steel parts swiftly as well as with terrific excellence. This write-up will certainly inform you about the features and functions of laser cutters.

 Allow us begin the conversation by notifying you concerning the key features of these reducing machines. As their name suggests, they are tools that work making use of laser beams. The laser light beam used by them typically has diameter of simply 0.2 mm as well as come powered by 1,000-2,000 watts of electrical power. Another famous feature of the device is the series of mirrors ingrained in it; these mirrors are needed for guiding the laser light beam into the steel component it will be cutting.

 Laser cutting is often made use of throughout the CNC/Turret process or the procedure throughout which holes are punched right into an offered product. The CNC/Turret process is implied for producing openings and also comparable inner attributes; laser cutters, on the other hand, are utilized for adding complicated outside attributes to metallic materials.

 The individual accomplishing laser cutting needs to adhere to a CAD illustration. So, to finish these work perfectly one needs to have detailed expertise of analysis and also comprehending computer-aided layout. Metal parts, after being punched by a CNC/Turret device, get profiled by laser cutters.

 As discussed over, these equipments are created mainly for reducing metal parts. To be much more exact, they are best fit for cutting stainless steel as well as carbon steel. They are generally not utilized for cutting through copper as well as aluminum alloys as those steels do not have the capacity of showing light. Specialists additionally don't suggest using laser cutters for reducing those alloys as alloys that have copper or light weight aluminum as one of their components also do not have the ability of taking in and also performing warmth. For cutting through copper and light weight aluminum alloys, you will need to utilize extra effective laser beam of lights.

 A CNC Machine in your house Workshop

 Forty years ago, in the world of large business production, computers started making their means into the manufacturing facilities. Computer Numeric Controlled (or CNC) machines, that ran off a pile of strike cards with intricate patterns of openings punched right into them, ran significant milling devices and also lathes. They were difficult, yet fast, and each equipment expense more than a great home.

 Fortunately, for you, the residence artisan, those days are gone. It is currently completely possible, practical, and also inexpensive to own your own CNC router, CNC mill, CNC turret, CNC laser cutter, or CNC plasma cutter. With only the most fundamental PC computer system, a couple of hundred dollars well worth of software application, a comparable financial investment in hardware and electronic devices, and also your very own ingenuity, YOU can have a CNC equipment in your home workshop.

 A CNC device can be a fantastic supplement to a pastime that you currently have ... like building model airplanes, version railroads, or woodworking. If you enjoy electronics, a small CNC router can etch and also drill printed motherboard. If you have children at home, a CNC maker can be a terrific means to aid them with science fair tasks, robotics jobs, or making arts as well as crafts projects.

 CNC equipments can reduce or machine complex detail, and do it extremely quickly. You have actually probably appreciated a few of those complex wall surface danglings that are reduced with a jig saw ... where the artisan invested actually thousands of hrs drilling via the workpiece, detaching the saw blade, threading the blade with an opening, reattaching the blade, making the cut, and repeating the procedure. A CNC router can do the exact same work in a fraction of the time, and far more accurately.

 A CNC Router is possibly the most functional kind of equipment. It can make heavy cuts and also do shaping in 3 measurements, or you can place a swivel blade cutter into the router chuck, and also do vinyl indicator as well as graphics reducing. With the appropriate software application, you can digitize (or "Reverse Engineer" a component) utilizing a probe installed in the router chuck to "trace" the shapes of a component. The computer system will "Keep in mind" the shape of your original, and afterwards allow you to duplicate the part with the router, sufficing from a block of timber or various other material.

 As well as a CNC router can be the start of a part-time. and even full-time service. You can carve gorgeous wood indicators, cut out wood toys, or version aircraft or railroad elements. You can carve initial patterns, and also make mold and mildews from them, to produce porcelain figurines, plaques, photo frameworks or various other actors parts. Have you appreciated wooden clocks? A CNC router is a great means to make one ... or loads. If you are an annoyed inventor, you can cut mechanical components for prototypes, from a variety of materials consisting of timber, plastics, light weight aluminum, composite products like carbon fiber laminate, or published circuit board product.

 So exactly how do you begin? A terrific area to start is with the ABC's of CNC video clip. This two hr long DVD takes you with the entire CNC workflow ... starting with the essentials of maker styles, G Code, CAD as well as WEB CAM software application, and also finally via the actual cutting procedure. You'll see example components begin as a layout, sketched on a paper napkin, taken via CAD software, and on the Computer Aided Machining (WEB CAM) software application where the real cutting courses to make the part are produced. The output from the WEB CAM program then goes to the real maker controller, which transforms the digital details right into real motion ... to cut the component.

 You do not require to be an electronics whiz ... neither a computer programmer ... nor a machinist. The ABC's of CNC video clip will certainly show you where to begin, where to look for parts and also sources, and also just how to put everything together. to make your OWN CNC machine. It's enjoyable and also gratifying. It will certainly open up an entire new globe of precision, rate, and also repeatability.

Automating image capture for 3D scanning through photogrammetry

3D data creation is part of a growing trend in the use of computational imaging techniques within cultural heritage digitization shops. In particular, operational adoption of photogrammetry has been witnessed at such institutions as the Minneapolis Institute of Art (MIA), the Smithsonian, and the University of Virginia Library.

3D data use cases abound. For instance, it can be leveraged to create 3D digital models for display and manipulation in various viewers, 3D printed, and re-purposed in VR environments. Additionally, virtual models can be employed as teaching tools, used in conservation condition assessments of objects through time and to open new lines of inquiry and digital scholarship around such data sets.

One of the current bottlenecks in the multi-step workflow that leads to the creation of original 3D data is the capture stage. In the case of photogrammetry, automating original 2D image capture under controlled shooting conditions is one way to begin to not only scale up data creation but to also make data more accurate and easier for 3D post-processing software to work with.

As we recently began to build out our own 3D capture capabilities at the University of Connecticut Library’s Digital Production Lab, we decided to look at existing automated systems with an eye towards customizing a rig that would best fit our space, budget, and anticipated requirements. In collaboration with ace systems integrator, Michael Ulsaker, this is the structure that we recently co-designed and installed in our studio:

University of Connecticut Digital Production Lab 3D Capture System

Salient features include an automated 360 degree spin turntable, and camera column that can be programmed to seamlessly control movements along X, Y, and Z axes during a given shooting session. Both the turntable and camera are driven by an integrated combination of 5 stepper motors.

Cognisys NEMA 17 Stepper Motor and Canon 5D II

All of this movement is coordinated through a linked pair of Cognisys Stackshot 3X modules. Each module, which in essence acts like a programmable logic controller, has a haptic touchscreen and a nice GUI to the Cognisys software.

Cognisys Stackshot 3X Controllers

Successful photogrammetry requires a 2D image set of an object from overlapping look angles. This needs to be done in a comprehensive manner across a subject’s entire surface in order to give post-processing software a greater opportunity to create 3D data from the original. Turntables are a good capture solution in this scenario, as they help control needed overlap from shot to shot and permit consistent stationary lighting to be built into the overall design. Beyond object movement, however, there remains the need to reposition the camera to different look angles above the subject per 360 spin for optimal capture coverage. This is where precisely programmed turntable rotation and camera movement can come together to create high quality source imaging:

[embedded content]

The net results are a series of hemispheric image sets, viewed here in Agisoft Photoscan, where each individual 2D image capture is represented by a blue rectangle around the generated 3D model:

Model View, Agisoft Photoscan

Once exported from post-processing software, the model can then be uploaded to an online viewer site like Sketchfab where it may be shared more broadly to the online world.

Though the Polaroid Test model presented common photogrammetric challenges like the presence of specular highlights from its more reflective surfaces and self-occluded areas along the bellows, this initial trial, exported straight from Photoscan was promising nonetheless. A second test, this time using a small gift store duck with a terracotta-like surface was something that the software more elegantly handled and made watertight.

After our initial test phase concludes, we hope to eventually begin work on aspects of the Connecticut Archaeology Center’s bone collection and selections from the department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology’s Biodiversity Research Collections, both of which are housed nearby on campus.

Three-axis rotary machining with Arduino

For many years CNC machining was the purview of well-equipped shops and manufacturing facilities. With the availability of inexpensive control hardware, such as Arduino-based GRBL packages, this type of control has come to the (technically inclined) masses, enabling us to create complicated 2D and 3D shapes automatically.

Normally, this means X, Y, and Z axes that control a cutting head, and if you wanted to much further in complexity and cost, you could add a fourth or even a fifth axis to tilt things as needed. The RotoMill, however, seen at World Maker Faire in New York, puts a different “spin” on things, substituting a stepper-controlled spindle for the Y axis. The result is a machine with unique machining capabilities, driven by an Arduino Uno running custom GRBL firmware.

As for now, the CNC can easily mill parts out of softer materials like plastic, wood, and foam, although it is designed to cut aluminum as well.

A three-axis rotary CNC built for the Mechanical Engineering senior design capstone course at Carnegie Mellon University by a team of engineering students. The CNC uses NEMA24 motors for each of the axes, with the X and Z axes actuated by lead screws, and the A (rotary) axis actuated by a worm gear. The spindle is an off-the-shelf Makita hand router, which allows for any router bit to be used.

Each motor is controlled by a stepper motor driver, which are all coordinated by an Arduino Uno running a customized version of the GRBL firmware. This is in turn controlled by a laptop running open-source GCode sending software.

To generate the GCode, we would create a 3D model of the part that we wanted to machine. We then “unwrapped” about the A axis. This basically takes the part and converts it from Cartesian coordinates to Cylindrical coordinates.

At this point, we could take the unwrapped part and load it into Autodesk HSM, a popular industrial CAM package. This allowed us to generate a toolpath for machining the part. We basically “fooled” the CNC into thinking that it was a normal, three-axis Cartesian CNC. The trick, however, is that the Y axis is wrapped around and becomes the A axis.

Vivo NEX launched in India with Snapdragon 845, pop-up digital camera and no notch

The Vivo NEX turned into launched in China final month as the evolution of the Vivo Apex idea phone. The telephone makes use of a popup digital camera, and has a close to bezel-less show and not using a notch. In China, Vivo launched two versions of the NEX: the Vivo NEX S and the Vivo NEX A. This month, the employer introduced that the telephone would be available in extra markets, and now, the agency has launched the Vivo NEX S in India. The telephone is really called the Vivo NEX inside the united states, due to the fact the NEX A (powered by way of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 710) has not been brought to India.

The Vivo NEX S (we can seek advice from it as the Vivo NEX henceforth) is powered by using the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 system-on-chip, and has 8GB of RAM paired with 128GB of garage. Its complete listing of specifications are cited beneath:

The Vivo NEX, just like the Oppo discover X, is a exceptional form of smartphone. On one hand, it’s legitimately marvelous to see Vivo evolve the Apex idea phone right into a complete-fledged product that consumers should buy. It have to be referred to that the 2 products aren't the identical; the design of the completed NEX cellphone is barely specific than the Apex, and rather of having 1/2-display fingerprint scanning tech, the NEX’s in-show fingerprint sensor (extra on this beneath) works most effective in a selected location at the display.

The USP of the Vivo NEX stays its popup front-dealing with camera, and the shortage of a notch. The agency became able to attain the notch-less design by means of eliminating the earpiece in choose of a piezoelectric speaker machine, and going for a popup the front digicam. Vivo phrases the piezoelectric speaker device as display screen SoundCasting era, because it vibrates the show glass itself. A teardown of the phone has shown that the popup front digital camera has a spring and a spiral stepper motor that propels it upward/downward. It’s an innovative mechanism, to make certain. but, concerns nonetheless continue to be approximately sturdiness, because the popup camera uses mechanical transferring parts.

The Vivo NEX is also the 1/3 Vivo cellphone to use an in-show fingerprint sensor, the primary and 2d being the Vivo X20 Plus UD and the Vivo X21 respectively. In-show fingerprint sensors are nonetheless a rarity in the Android global. The Oppo discover X, alternatively, makes use of a three-D dependent light answer for 3-d face unencumber.

Vivo additionally states that the cellphone uses a new cooling solution as a way to assist maintain it cool even at some stage in lengthy gaming answers. greater info weren’t supplied, lamentably.

MIDTERM PROJECT: Lid Closing Machine

       My midterm project was inspired by one of my everyday morning routine, which is doing makeup. I can never leave my house without doing it. I normally doing my makeup for 1 hour, because there are many steps for me to go through and also many products for me to use. Most of the products came in a forms of bottle which I have to open and close every time I used it, and sometimes when I’m in a rush I forgot to close the lid. One of the product that I used is the moisturizer cream. Every time that I forgot the close it, it will evaporate. 

So I decided to make the lid closing machine, in order to help my everyday life easier and making my makeup process faster.

The challenge of designing this device is how to connect the lid with the machine perfectly. In order to make the system works, I have to concerned a lot about connection of each part.

For the making process, I use baltic birch ply as the main material as it is strong ,and it can carry the weight of the lid and the bottle.

I’ve cut the baltic birch ply into pieces by using laser cutting machine.

This is the outcome after I’ve assembled all the pieces and connected it with Arduino and battery charger.

This picture shows the connection between :

Bagi penonton, sistem CNC mungkin menyerupai seperangkat komponen komputer biasa, namun program perangkat lunak dan konsol yang digunakan di mesin CNC membedakannya dari semua bentuk perhitungan lainnya.

Hal-hal untuk Belajar Tentang CNC Machining

Ketika sistem CNC diaktifkan, pemotongan yang diinginkan diprogram ke dalam perangkat lunak dan didikte ke alat dan mesin yang sesuai, yang melakukan tugas dimensi seperti yang ditentukan, sama seperti robot.

Dalam pemrograman CNC, generator kode dalam sistem numerik akan sering menganggap mekanisme tidak sempurna, terlepas dari kemungkinan kesalahan, yang lebih besar setiap kali mesin diarahkan untuk memotong lebih dari satu arah secara bersamaan.Penempatan alat dalam sistem kontrol numerik digariskan oleh serangkaian masukan yang dikenal sebagai program part.

Dengan mesin kontrol numerik, program dimasukkan melalui kartu punch. Sebaliknya, program untuk mesin CNC diumpankan ke komputer meski ada keyboard kecil. Pemrograman CNC disimpan dalam memori komputer. Kode itu sendiri ditulis dan diedit oleh pemrogram. Oleh karena itu, sistem CNC menawarkan kapasitas komputasi yang jauh lebih ekspansif. Yang terbaik, sistem CNC sama sekali tidak statis, karena petunjuk yang lebih baru dapat ditambahkan ke program yang sudah ada melalui kode yang telah direvisi.

PEMROGRAMAN MESIN CNC

Di CNC, mesin dioperasikan melalui kontrol numerik, dimana sebuah program perangkat lunak ditujukan untuk mengendalikan suatu objek. Bahasa di balik mesin CNC bergantian disebut kode G, dan ditulis untuk mengendalikan berbagai perilaku mesin yang sesuai, seperti kecepatan, laju umpan dan koordinasi.

Pada dasarnya, mesin CNC memungkinkan untuk melakukan pra-program kecepatan dan posisi fungsi alat mesin dan menjalankannya melalui perangkat lunak dalam siklus berulang dan dapat diprediksi, semuanya dengan sedikit keterlibatan dari operator manusia. Karena kemampuan ini, prosesnya telah diadopsi di seluruh pelosok sektor manufaktur dan sangat penting di bidang produksi logam dan plastik.

Sebagai permulaan, gambar CAD 2D atau 3D dikandung, yang kemudian diterjemahkan ke kode komputer agar sistem CNC dijalankan. Setelah program dimasukkan, operator memberikannya uji coba untuk memastikan tidak ada kesalahan yang ada dalam pengkodean.

Open / Closed-Loop Machining Systems

Kontrol posisi ditentukan melalui sistem loop terbuka atau loop tertutup. Dengan yang pertama, sinyal masuk dalam satu arah antara pengendali dan motor. Dengan sistem loop tertutup, pengendali mampu menerima umpan balik, yang membuat koreksi kesalahan mungkin terjadi. Dengan demikian, sistem loop tertutup dapat memperbaiki penyimpangan dalam kecepatan dan posisi.

Pada mesin CNC, gerakan biasanya diarahkan ke sumbu X dan Y. Alat ini, pada gilirannya, diposisikan dan dipandu melalui motor stepper atau servo, yang meniru gerakan yang tepat seperti yang ditentukan oleh kode-G. Jika gaya dan kecepatannya minimal, prosesnya bisa dijalankan melalui kontrol loop terbuka. Untuk segala hal lainnya, kontrol loop tertutup diperlukan untuk memastikan kecepatan, konsistensi dan akurasi yang dibutuhkan untuk aplikasi industri, seperti logam.

What Are The Differences Between Laser Engraving Machine And Laser Marking Machine?

1. Different Definition. Laser marking machine uses a laser beam to evaporate the surface material to expose the deep material, which leads to chemical changes in the surface material and physical changes to engrave marks, or to burn part of the material through light energy to show the desired etching pattern and text. Laser engraving machine is a laser device that uses laser beam to engrave and cut the material that needs to be engraved. It is also called laser cutting machine, laser etching machine and more. Unlike mechanical engraving machine, it uses laser heat energy to engrave materials.

2. Different Application Material. Laser engravers are generally used for engraving or cutting non-metallic materials. Laser marking machines are generally not used for deep engraving. It only needs to engrave the logo content. It can mark on most metal and non-metal materials.

3. Different Depth & Speed. Laser engraving system can engrave on a large stroke size, and it can also cut, the engraving depth is far greater than that of the laser marking system; The speed of the laser marker is much faster than the laser engraver, and generally can reach 5000 mm/s - 7000mm/s.

4. Different Laser Generator and Price. The optical path system of the laser engraver machine is composed of three reflective lenses and a focusing lens. The laser is generally a carbon dioxide glass tube. However, there are many types of laser generators in laser marking machines, including fiber laser generators, CO2 laser generators, UV laser generators, and so on. The price of laser marking machine is different due to different models and materials, and the price ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands; Low-power laser engraving systems for cutting non-metallic materials are much cheaper than laser marking systems, but high-power laser is also more expensive.
