CO2 laser cutting machine is an exceptionally popular application for IGOLDENCNC Laser machines because of the high-quality results that are produced.
Depending on the type of acrylic you're working with, the laser can produce a smooth, flame-polished edge when laser cut, and it can also produce a bright, frosty white engraving when laser engraved.
When laser cutting acrylic sheet, thin sheet acrylic is usually easy to be cut, and good results are obtained. But sometimes when cutting thick acrylic materials, you may encounter an uneven cutting edge or surface — or even worse, your cutting kerf turning white while processing colored acrylic. Master some laser cutting tips, you can improve the skills of using a cutting machine to cut thick acrylic. The following points can be used as a reference for operating the laser machine.
1. Check the wattage of the co2 laser cutting machine
For co2 laser cutting machine thick acrylic, you’ll need a high enough wattage to get the job done. Thinner sheets, like 3mm acrylic cut beautifully on 150w or 200W, but if you’re looking to cut 25mm acrylic, you’re going to want a 250w or 400W laser.
2. Check the lens of the CO2 laser machine
While most operators know they need a very low air pressure to achieve that fire-polished edge, they might not be aware of how dirty that can make their lens. A dirty lens is going to give operators a whole host of problems, from poor focusing to reduced laser power. If you want to cut acrylic workpieces with polished edges, check the lenses every day or at least every other day to prevent these problems.
3. Adjust the focal length of the laser cutter
To get a laser to cut nicely through thick acrylic, it’s helpful to adjust your focal length so that the laser energy is concentrated. For instance, if you want to cut 10mm or 20mm piece of acrylic, a longer focal lens is going to spread out the focus distance and give you a straighter cut. It will make the beam a little wider, but will prevent a slanted or uneven edge.
