How to cut foam cotton with laser

Skills and precautions for laser cutting of foam cotton
Foam cotton is a kind of light, soft material with good sound insulation and shock resistance. It is widely used in electronics, instruments, communications, household appliances, automobiles, aviation and other fields. Foam cotton is usually processed by hand cutting or cutting tools, but these methods may lead to problems such as low precision, low efficiency, and unsmooth edges. Therefore, laser cutting foam cotton is a more efficient and accurate method.
The following are tips and precautions for laser cutting of foam cotton:

1. Choose an appropriate laser cutting machine
It is necessary to select appropriate laser cutting machine for foam cotton laser cutting. Usually, choosing a CO2 laser cutting machine or a fiber laser cutting machine is an ideal choice. CO2 laser cutting machine is suitable for cutting thicker foam cotton, while fiber laser cutting machine is suitable for cutting thinner foam cotton.

2. Adjust the parameters of the laser cutting machine
Foam cotton laser cutting needs to adjust the parameters of the laser cutting machine, including laser power, laser frequency, laser speed, focus, etc. Different foam cotton materials need different parameter settings, which need to be adjusted according to the actual situation.

3. Choose the appropriate cutting mode
Foam cotton laser cutting needs to select appropriate cutting mode, including vector cutting and bitmap cutting. Vector cutting is suitable for simple shapes such as lines, arcs, polygons, while bitmap cutting is suitable for complex shapes and patterns.

4. Pay attention to safety
When laser cutting foam cotton, be sure to pay attention to safety. Laser has high energy and should be avoided from directly shining on the eyes. At the same time, pay attention to prevent foam cotton from burning to avoid fire.

Advantages of foam cotton laser cutting
The use of laser cutting foam cotton has the following advantages:
1. High precision
Laser cutting foam cotton has the advantages of high precision, high precision and high repeatability, which can achieve fine cutting and engraving.
2. High efficiency
Laser cutting foam cotton is fast and efficient, which can realize mass production and processing.
3. Smooth edges
The cutting edge of laser cutting foam cotton is smooth and burr free, and no subsequent processing and treatment are required.
4. Wide applicability
Laser cutting foam cotton is suitable for foam cotton of various shapes and sizes to meet various processing needs.
