Inquire

As a mechanical engraving machine and laser engraving machine that are widely used in advertising, woodworking and other industries, many users cannot accurately understand whether a workpiece is processed by a mechanical engraving machine or a laser engraving machine. Today Leapion Laser introduces the difference between laser engraving machine and mechanical engraving machine.


The difference between mechanical tool engraving machine and laser engraving machine is as follows:

1. The main difference

The main difference is in the way of engraving. The laser engraving machine uses the laser light source as the engraving energy to engrave; while the tool engraving uses metal knives for engraving, which has high requirements on the types and specifications of the knives.

2. The engraving precision is different

Laser engraving is more precise than tool engraving because the diameter of the light source for laser engraving is very small;

The mechanical engraving tool itself has a certain width, so in terms of accuracy, in addition to the quality of the machine itself, it also includes the accuracy requirements of the tool.

3. Different carving materials

When choosing the engraving material, it is difficult for laser engraving to achieve deep engraving on metal materials, and it may only be engraving on the metal surface;

The mechanical engraving machine can achieve a certain depth of engraving, or even cutting.

4. Laser engraving is a non-contact processing object, and there is no need to fix the workpiece for plane engraving;

The mechanical engraving is a contact engraving, so the workpiece is required to be fixed.

5. The laser tube engraved by the laser has a certain life time limit, while the mechanical tool engraving does not have a time limit, but the tool wear will also occur. In the case of serious wear, it is necessary to replace the tool.

6. In the process of plastic engraving, laser engraving may produce toxic gas, and a specific air purification system is required to discharge the exhaust gas into the air; the mechanical engraving machine will not pollute the air.

7. Laser engraving is very good at engraving photos. It can directly engrave photos in JPG format, but mechanical engraving cannot do this.
