CNC Acrylic Laser Cutter Using Steps

Both the laser acrylic cutting machine and the CNC Router acrylic cutting machine are computer-controlled ones. And they both need a computer to design cutting graphics and control the cutting process. The users use the software to design the picture file or cutting route and import it into the cutting machine. Later, the machine automatically completes the cutting process.

Features of cnc acrylic laser cutter:

1、 Economy cnc router machine with heavy duty welded structure.

2、 6.0kw water cooling spindle with 24000r/min.

3、 DSP Controller ;easy operation ;convenient and intuitive.

4、 Vacuum table could adsorb different size materials closely.

5、HIWIN linear rail from Taiwan for 3 aixs, more stable, it's lifetime is 10 times longer than common rail way.

How to usecnc acrylic laser cutter

Now, when you’ve chosen the acrylic, bit, and design, begin with cutting acrylic. 

Step 1:- First things first, you’ve to set the feed rate according to the bit size. The most recommended range is between 75-300 IPM. High feed rates work best with large-sized bits. Smaller bits need a lower feed rate.

Step 2:- In this step, you’ve to set the RPM. The recommended value is 18,000 RPM for optimizing the spindle’s ability to cut through the acrylics, without melting the acrylics.

Step 3:- In the third step, you’ve to set the cutting depth. Experts suggest that cutting depth must be 1/2 of the diameter of the bit. It prevents the bits from breaking.

Step 4:- In the fourth step, you’ve to begin cutting with a ramp. You can select the option within the software. Opting for ramping rather than plunging is to deter distortion

Step 5:- Now, you’ve to secure the acrylic material on the CNC router table.
