Laser Engraving and Cutting Equipment

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)
• Laser Power Supply Provides high voltage to excite gas molecules
• Optical System Mirrors and focusing lens for beam direction
• Motion Control System Stepper/Servo motors with guide rails
• Control Panel / Software CAD/CAM-based control (RDWorks, CorelDRAW, AutoCAD compatible)
• Cooling System Water chiller for maintaining tube temperature
• Exhaust System Removes fumes and smoke
• Work Table Honeycomb or blade type depending on application
