How to choose an engraving machine


First, the classification of engraving machine: From the functional point of view, the computer engraving machine is divided into two categories: small power engraving machine and high-power engraving machine. The low-power engraving machine refers to the engraving machine with less power of engraving motor (generally 80-200W). Because of its small power, the engraving motor can only be applied to fine machining with less cutting surface. For example: badges, sand table models, handicraft surface processing, etc. This type of engraving machine cannot perform high power engraving and cutting. The high-power engraving machine refers to an engraving machine with an engraving motor power of 700W or more. This type of engraving machine can not only perform low-power engraving, but also high-power engraving. For example: the production of crystal characters, all kinds of advertising signs, irregular cutting of sheet metal, processing of artificial stone. Because of its high power, it can cut 30mm thick plexiglass at a time or use high-power molding engraving with a forming knife. Some users are not aware of the high power and low power of the engraving machine. After watching the demonstration of the high-power engraving machine, because of the investment difficulties, I bought a low-power engraving machine with a slightly lower price. As a result, only the badges of less than two yuan each (only a few cents in one area) can be engraved. For high-power carvings such as plexiglass signs, only others can be seen. The same investment, the same store cost, the same operation and other staff wages, but 80% of the engraving business can not do, not only reduces their own efficiency, but also in a very disadvantageous position in the competition. This is a must when choosing an engraving machine. If you are applying in this industry, be sure to purchase an engraving machine that can perform high-power engraving.
Second, the brand of engraving machine: the production technology of engraving machine is much more complicated than the engraving machine. At the same time, the engraving machine is different from the engraving machine. This is why many cutting plotter manufacturers have been developing engraving machines very early and have never launched products. s reason. The engraving machine requires fine and stable, and if there is instability, it will cause serious material waste. Therefore, the purchase of products with strong manufacturers can reduce the possibility of waste and loss caused by machine failure.
Third, carefully observe the operation demonstration of the engraving machine: the engraving of small characters can see the precision of the engraving machine, and the engraving of high power can see the application range of the engraving machine. If the precision of the engraving machine is very poor, then the edge roughness will occur when performing high-power engraving; if the resonance (vibration) occurs during high-power engraving, the precision of the engraving machine will be greatly reduced. If the engraving machine cannot perform high-power engraving, the application range of the engraving machine will be greatly reduced. Therefore, according to the demonstration of the engraving machine, the application range of the engraving machine is determined, which is the scope of your engraving business. The scope of application of the engraving machine directly determines whether it can bring you economic benefits.
Fourth, the use of consumables and software for the engraving machine: the consumables of the engraving machine should be very low, the general engraving machine should be able to apply ordinary lathe processing tools, the price is only a dozen yuan. However, some engraving machines use special tools, which greatly increases the cost of consumables. The application of software is also very important. Some brands of engraving machine software are not fully functional, and the engraving machine cannot use other software. Other brands of engraving machines can use a variety of common software, as long as there is new software or a new feature upgrade of a certain software, these new technologies can immediately create benefits for you.
5. Control part of the engraving machine: The control part of the engraving machine is generally divided into two categories. The first type is computer controlled and its own control part is just power driven. This type of engraving machine cannot work offline, that is, the computer cannot perform other typesetting work during the engraving process and may cause waste due to computer operation errors. The second type is the controller itself controls and drives. This engraving machine can work offline, that is, once the engraving machine starts working, the computer can immediately perform typesetting work. This situation actually saves a computer and reduces the waste caused by computer operation errors. This method greatly improves the working efficiency of the engraving machine.
Sixth, about the engraving motor: the engraving machine uses high-power variable frequency motor to ensure the high-power cutting of the machine, while taking into account the fine processing, the high-power cutting and fine processing are closely combined. Some domestic brands of engraving machines are not reluctant to choose high-power engraving motors, but because their mechanical bodies do not have the rigidity to withstand high-power engraving and cannot be used.
