Product Description
A CO Laser Cutting Machine is a precision-based, non-contact cutting and engraving system that uses a high-powered carbon dioxide laser beam to cut, engrave, and mark various non-metal and selected coated metal materials. It is widely used in industries such as advertising, packaging, textile, leather, woodworking, and signage.
Working Principle
The machine operates by generating a laser beam inside a CO laser tube filled with gas mixture (CO, nitrogen, helium).
- The laser beam is directed through mirrors and focused using a lens.
- A high-intensity focused beam melts, burns, or vaporizes the material.
- A motion control system (CNC-based) guides the laser head along the programmed path for accurate cutting or engraving.
Key Components
- CO Laser Tube Generates laser beam (typically 40W to 150W or higher)
