Are engraving machines and CNC engraving and milling machines twin brothers?
In the 21st century, it entered the information industry society. CNC equipment is an indispensable mechanical equipment in the machinery industry. The most used ones are engraving machines and CNC engraving and milling machines, but most customers cannot distinguish the carvings.
The difference between the engraving machine and the CNC engraving and milling machine is always mistaken for the same mechanical equipment. People intuitively feel that the small format is the engraving machine, and the large-format engraving and milling machine, or the engraving machine, the router
Or simply called the large CNC engraving machine. In fact, they are two types of machines with different structures. Let's compare the two to see where the differences are embodied.
The same thing: the working principle is basically the same, all driven by X, Y, Z three axes, controlled by the electronic controller.
The difference: from the use: the engraving machine is mainly used for the engraving of the plate, a large number of two-color plate or acrylic engraving, the depth of the engraving is about 0.5mm-3.1mm.
It is more common in the application of signs and signs. From the perspective of mechanical construction, the design of the CNC engraving machine is light, the X and Y axes move at a fast speed, and the Z-axis stroke is short, which is suitable for engraving materials of 4mm-9mm.
The engraving spindle head is equipped with a spring pressure nose, which is used to flatten the sheet material below 3.2 mm during the engraving process. The engraving spindle is connected to a larger diameter motor via a belt to increase the rotational speed.
The quality of the engraved workpiece is smoother. The engraving tool used is long, with a length of about 16.8 cm and a diameter of about 4.25 mm. Due to design constraints, the engraving machine is suitable for cutting
Small, high-speed engraving process.
In contrast, the engraving and milling machine can be understood as both fine engraving and cutting and boring. For example, doing three-dimensional engraving, although the drop is very large, 205mm wide material can be completed at one time, one infeed amount
When big. The cutter diameter for the engraving and milling machine is from 1mm to 16mm, and the tool length is 45~85mm. We can use it flexibly, work with fine knives, and work with thick knives. Due to machine design
Focus on heavy-duty load, large steel frame and large Z-axis stroke, so it can not only be used as a small CNC engraving machine, but also can cut thick plates at high speed. The amount of one-time feed can reach 19.8mm-30.5mm.
This is a process that the engraving machine can't do at all.
Although the engraving machine and the CNC engraving and milling machine have so many differences, the two complement each other, one is good at processing large pieces of material, and the other is unique in fine material engraving. and so,
Everyone should consider the size of the material to be processed when purchasing the engraving machine. Choosing the right engraving machine can be handy and let the machine create more benefits. Is just getting in touch
