The right choice of a spindle or a milling head is very important. As long as that goes for fun in plywood or soft plastics, a"toy" brush spindle in a plastic housing may be enough...
What is the difference between a cutter, a plotter and an engraving machine? Different people use these terms interchangeably, frequently to the same machine. Indeed, the tasks of these machines often overlap...
The spindles installed in milling plotters and engraving milling machines are usually induction electro-spindles powered with an inverter. What is the inverter for? The principle of operation of the induction motor shows that the spindle speed in a steady state is proportional to the frequency...
The accuracy of the machine is often the primary criterion for the selection of a machine tool. Everyone would like to have the most accurate machine. However, the accuracy of the machine is often misunderstood, which sometimes may lead to confusion...
CNC machine tools have been created primarily in order to increase the efficiency and accuracy of processing by reducing or eliminating physical human work. In times when labour costs are getting more expensive, the natural purpose becomes...
The frames of machine tools are made of cast iron or steel. Most of the machine tools for cutting metal are made of cast iron. However, this is not the best material for this purpose in relation to the stiffness obtained from 1 kg of material...
First of all, you have to pay attention to rigidity. Even the most nicely-looking engraver but with mediocre rigidity (e.g. twisted aluminum profiles) will not ensure proper operation. This can cause jagged edges...
Abrasive waterjet cutting machines are considered to present the most innovative technology of formed cutting which allows for machining almost all materials. Water under pressure of 3 to 4 thousand bar is used to disperse the sand grains of garnet...
The servo x 1 oscillating head is an electric driven oscillating head. It has 2 electric drives, one of which is a servo drive for setting the knife angle and the other is a motor ...
Indeed, the differences in the cost of electricity for CO2 and fiber lasers can be multiple. This applies, of course, to sheet metal cutting up to 3-4 mm, but beyond this limit, contrary to what representatives of other brands claim, a fiber laser is also much more economical...
The Kimla company offers lasers 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10kW, 12kW, but unfortunately there is no one universal cutting speed table that could be compared with other tables because the laser power is not the only parameter that affects on cutting speed ...
Lasers, like other similar cutting devices, are bought for a specific purpose - to earn money. Lasers cost a lot, so choosing the device that will earn the most...
Comparisons of thickness power and cut quality, These are the real maximum thicknesses for a given power...
The technology of laser cutting has been the basic technology for cutting metal sheets in the industry for several decades. The development of laser cutters made it possible to discover the possibility of amplifying light using the phenomenon of forced emission ...
