The method of laser cutting of cellulose acetate
Now there is a desire for laser cutting of cellulose acetate. The material of cellulose acetate is very different. If you want to cut it with laser, you must specify the method.
First, when reviewing its material characteristics. Although cellulose acetate is tough, it is variable by heat, so when laser cutting, temperature control is essential. It is necessary to use appropriate laser power and speed to make the cut part melt but not melt, resulting in its shape loss and quality change.
Second, prepare cutting tools. Sophisticated laser cutting equipment, with accurate focus and stable energy. And the cutting table must be flat to ensure that the cutting path is correct and there is no risk of deflection.
Furthermore, determine the cutting parameters. According to the thickness of cellulose acetate, adjust the power, pulse width, and frequency of the laser. Thin, the power can be slightly weaker, and the speed can be slightly worse; thick, the opposite. However, it is necessary to try to cut and fine-tune, so that the incision is smooth, without slag or carbonization.
Also, the environment of heavy cutting. The surrounding air is clean, and there is no dust and debris to disturb it. Because dust is attached to the cutting place, or the incision is unclean, it affects the quality. And the ambient temperature and humidity should also be constant, so as to avoid the cutting effect of the material due to temperature and humidity changes.
Laser cutting of cellulose acetate, according to these requirements, and carefully, can be made to obtain the desired shape and ensure the quality of the material.
