What kind of control system is required for laser engraving of wood

Wood carving is currently a very popular decorative item, with its natural and antique patterns, texture that conforms to traditional aesthetics, and long-lasting durability, making it widely used in various occasions.

There are many ways to carve wood, among which laser carving has the characteristics of high precision, fast efficiency, and flexible processing. It has obvious advantages in processing complex patterns, and therefore has been widely used in industrial wood carving and processing scenarios.

Although lasers can accurately and quickly carve wood, there are also some key considerations that need to be paid attention to, otherwise it can easily affect the overall processing effect:

1. Preparation in advance: The surface and interior of wood often contain impurities such as oil stains, debris, water stains, dust, etc. These impurities can affect the quality of laser processing and should be checked and removed before processing. In addition, some special woods require special surface treatment to better utilize the effectiveness of laser engraving.

2. Wood type: Due to the different internal fiber densities, there is a significant difference in hardness between woods. Cork and hardwood exhibit different behaviors during laser engraving. Hardwood usually requires higher laser power and has the possibility of blackening, while cork is easier to process and rarely experiences blackening.

3. Laser setting: During processing, parameters such as laser power and laser speed directly affect the effect of laser engraving. Generally speaking, the higher the power, the slower the speed, and the greater the energy of the laser irradiated on the material. For wood with different hardness, the appropriate power and speed should be determined through multiple adjustments.

4. Ventilation and exhaust: Laser engraving of wood will produce a small amount of smoke, so attention should be paid to ventilation and exhaust in the engraving work area. Use exhaust or suction devices to timely absorb harmful smoke and avoid diffusion and diffusion.

5. Post maintenance: Laser engraving of wood will produce a lot of oil stains and other impurities. Some impurities that have not been absorbed will adhere to the focusing lens that has been working on the wood for a long time, which will have a negative impact on the equipment. Therefore, remember to clean and maintain the equipment after processing is completed.

When laser engraving wood, it is necessary to carefully consider various factors such as material properties, laser parameter settings, ventilation measures, and safety measures. By thorough preparation and testing, high-quality carving effects can be achieved. And always pay attention to safety principles, processing personnel should not be too close to the carving site, to ensure that any potential risks are minimized as much as possible during the laser carving process.
