Since War of The Worlds we’ve been fascinated by lasers. What they are – How they work– How to tame them. GCC LaserPro and Jorlink know how.


LASER is the acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
In earlier discussions we’ve talked about how to choose the right laser for your business; how to get started once the laser is in place; even the differences between lasers and rotary engravers. So what about other options in laser engraving and cutting? For instance:

 

How does a CO2 laser engraver work?  

A CO2 laser works by electrically stimulating the molecules of a carbon dioxide gas mixture. When this invisible but intensive beam is focused through a lens it can vaporize many materials. The speed and intensity of the C02 laser beam determines the wide variety of materials it is able to engrave or cut through.

Longer Laser Life, Better Quality Engraving and Cutting Results, Environmentally Sound and it adds up to Saving Cash

Choosing a LGAC removal system that’s good for your pocket book and the environment.

Earlier we talked about Laser Generated Airborne Contaminants or (LGACs); how they can affect your workers, your equipment and which LGAC removal system is right for you. Other than its precision one of the main reasons you chose laser processing equipment was its long-term cost benefits. Instead of conventional methods to process materials there are few or no consumables such as drills, milling cutters, saws, etc. Therefore, in choosing an LGAC removal system it is important that any purification system does not nullify this benefit by passing along excessive filter costs to the user. One method the Purex system offers of prolonging the life of a main filter is to use a pre-filter to remove larger particles (=1um) from the airstream before they enter the main filter. These are come in different forms, ranging from pads to bags to a patented Labyrinth design that offers around 10 times the life of a normal pre-filter. Pre-filters are made from a variety of filter media, and it is vitally important that the correct type is specified by the supplier – otherwise the life of the main filter will be significantly reduced. This is especially true if the material that is processed releases oily or sticky particles.

LASER CUTTING STYRENE

There are several things that are different about laser cutting styrene as opposed to many other materials. Is it safe to laser cut styrene? Safe, yes, but it is a little tricky.  Styrene tends to cut with rolled edges so the thinner the better for clean cuts. You can do better with less power, more speed, and two passes. Another option for straight cuts is to have the laser score it then break out the pieces. What about issues with poisonous fumes? Styrene doesn't contain PVC, so no worries there with fumes. As long as your laser has a full filter system that extracts outdoors, it should not be an issue. However, cutting anything that has chlorine in it like PVC generates chlorine gas, which despite your filtration system, might affect your lungs. The thing with cutting PVC or other plastics with chlorine is that not only is it bad for your lungs, but it is bad for your equipment. It can deteriorate your optics, corrode the metal, and otherwise foul your electronics.
