Single Head CO2 Laser Cutting Machine, 1300 x 900 mm (4x3 ft), 130 W

A CO laser cutter is a CNC machine that uses a gas-filled tube (carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and helium) to generate an infrared laser beam, which is directed by mirrors to vaporize or melt materials with high precision. It is a versatile tool used for cutting and engraving non-metallic materials like wood, acrylic, glass, and paper, as well as some metals.

Mechanism: Mirrors guide the beam to a focusing lens, which concentrates the energy onto the material's surface to create detailed, intricate, and precise cuts. Materials: Ideal for non-metals such as wood, acrylic, fabric, paper, cardboard, leather, plastics, and engraving on stone or glass. Applications: Commonly used in manufacturing, personalized goods, prototyping, and signage for both cutting and engraving. Components: Key parts include the laser tube, power supply, mirror system, focus lens, and a cooling system to manage the heat generated during operation.
