What is Cloth Laser Cutting Machine?
A cloth laser cutting machine that is used for cutting Kevlar consists of several key components, including:
1. Laser Source
The CO2 laser is the heart of the cutting machine. It produces a concentrated beam of light that is used to cut through the fabric with precision and accuracy.
2. Cutting Bed
The cutting bed is where the fabric is placed for cutting. It typically consists of a flat surface that is made from a durable material. MimoWork offers conveyor working table if you want to cut Kevlar fabric from roll continuously.
3. Motion Control System
The motion control system is responsible for moving the cutting head and the cutting bed in relation to each other. It uses advanced software algorithms to ensure that the cutting head moves in a precise and accurate manner.
4. Optics
The optics system includes 3 reflection mirrors and 1 focus lens that direct the laser beam onto the fabric. The system is designed to maintain the quality of the laser beam and ensure that it is properly focused for cutting.
5. Exhaust System
The exhaust system is responsible for removing smoke and debris from the cutting area. It typically includes a series of fans and filters that keep the air clean and free of contaminants.
6. Control Panel
The control panel is where the user interacts with the machine. It typically includes a touch screen display and a series of buttons and knobs for adjusting the settings of the machine.
