Automatic Waste-removal Laser Engraving Machine

Designing Equipment to Meet Actual Production Goals

content

The DF-980 Automatic Waste-removal Laser Engraving Machine is designed for laser cutting, engraving, and contour cutting of non-metallic flexible materials such as lettering film, polyester film,kraft paper, cardstock, barley straw paper, release paper, non-woven fabric, Oxford cloth, leather, and high-strength reflective film, among other non-metallic flexible materials. It features a maximum cutting width of 800 mm.The machine is available in three configurations: The DF-980 50W uses a CO₂ laser tube paired with a stepper motor, with a machine accuracy of ±0.2 and a maximum cutting thickness of ≤1.5 mm;The DF-980 45W and DF-980 80W models use metal RF lasers paired with servo motors, with a machine accuracy of ±0.5 and maximum cutting thicknesses of ≤2.2 mm and ≤3 mm, respectively.The machine features intelligent light control, laser engraving, edge-tracing cutting, USB offline operation, multi-purpose functionality, and a fume extraction system, making it suitable for applications such as advertising production, logo and signage fabrication, garment pattern making, and gift manufacturing.

Core Features

1. Intelligent Light Control:Automatically adjusts laser output based on material and design to ensure complete penetration while minimizing over-burning and yellowing of edges, thereby improving the quality of finished edges.
2. Laser Cut-out:Creates intricate cut-out designs on materials such as lettering film, reflective film, paper, and leather, making it suitable for processing complex shapes in signage, gifts, and advertising.
3. Contour Cutting:Cuts along the outline of a design without damaging the backing paper, making it suitable for materials such as lettering film and release paper that require half-cuts or contour trimming.
4. USB Offline Operation:Supports offline operation via USB drive, allowing files to be loaded and processed directly on the machine without the need for a constant connection to a computer, facilitating multi-station workshop layouts and file transfer.
5. All-in-One Machine:A single machine covers multiple processes, including cut-out, engraving, and contour cutting. With a cutting width of 800 mm and various laser power configurations, it meets the processing needs of a wide range of soft non-metallic materials.
6. Exhaust System:Promptly removes smoke, dust, and odors generated during laser processing, improving the workshop environment; ensure exhaust ducts remain unobstructed and clean them regularly.

Equipment Advantages

1. Fully Automatic Waste Removal Design:Designed for the cutting process of materials such as lettering film and release paper, this feature reduces the manual labor required to separate waste and clean the work surface after cutting, thereby improving continuous operation efficiency.
2. Three Laser Configurations Available:Offers three configurations—a 50W CO₂ laser tube and 45W or 80W metal RF lasers. Higher power allows for cutting through thicker materials; select the appropriate model based on material type and thickness.
3. Optional Stepper or Servo Motors:The DF-980 50W model uses a stepper motor with a positioning accuracy of ±0.2; the 45W and 80W models use servo motors with a positioning accuracy of ±0.5. You can choose the configuration based on your precision requirements and budget.
4. Maximum cutting width of 800 mm:All three configurations offer a maximum cutting width of 800 mm, meeting the large-format processing needs of advertising production, banners, and outdoor wall advertisements.

Applicable Industries and Use Cases

This machine is suitable for processing lettering film, polyester film,kraft paper, cardstock, barley paper, release paper, non-woven fabric, Oxford cloth, leather, and high-strength reflective film. It can be used in scenarios such as advertising production, logo and signage production, garment pattern making, outdoor wall advertisements, banners, equipment inkjet coding, and gift production.Before mass production, it is recommended to perform test cuts using actual materials to confirm power, speed, and cutting thickness parameters, and to inspect the cut-through quality and edge condition.

Technical Specifications

Model Specifications

Note:The above specifications are for reference only and represent standard configurations. Laser power, machine accuracy, maximum cutting thickness, motor type, and waste removal method may be adjusted based on actual materials and custom solutions. Final specifications are subject to technical confirmation and the contract.

Operating and Safety Instructions

The equipment uses a laser for engraving and cutting. During operation, it is strictly prohibited to open the protective cover to observe the cutting area. Before starting the machine, ensure that the protective cover, interlock devices, and emergency stop button are all in proper working order, and wear laser safety goggles rated for the appropriate wavelength.Processing materials such as lettering film, reflective film, and leather may generate smoke, dust, and odors. Ensure the fume extraction system is functioning properly, maintain good workshop ventilation, and regularly clean the exhaust ducts and filters.The equipment must be reliably grounded; workshops with significant voltage fluctuations are advised to install a voltage stabilizer. After changing materials or adjusting power and speed parameters, perform a test cut on a sample piece to verify the cut-through quality and edge condition before proceeding to mass production. Keep the focusing lens, guide rails, and worktable clean on a daily basis, and perform maintenance according to the manual’s requirements. The laser optical path should be maintained by qualified personnel.

Selection Recommendations

When selecting a model, first confirm the material type and maximum thickness: For thin materials such as lettering film, cardstock, barley paper, and release paper, the DF-980 50W (CO₂ laser tube) can meet most needs;When cutting through thicker materials such as polyester film, reflective film, non-woven fabric, or leather, we recommend selecting a metal RF laser configuration, where the 45W model has a maximum cutting thickness of ≤2.2 mm and the 80W model has a maximum cutting thickness of ≤3 mm.In terms of precision, the DF-980 50W model offers a precision of ±0.2, making it suitable for orders requiring high contour accuracy; the 45W and 80W models offer ±0.5.If the processing area is close to 800 mm, you should verify the material feeding method and feed space, as well as the workshop’s fume extraction conditions, power supply status, and equipment placement space.

Applications

Automatic Waste-removal Laser Engraving Machines are suitable for applications such as advertising production, logo and signage production, garment pattern making, outdoor wall advertisements, banners, equipment inkjet coding, and gift production. They can be used for engraving and cutting lettering films, contour cutting of polyester film and release paper,hollow-out cutting and engraving of kraft paper and cardstock, processing of barley paper, cutting of non-woven fabric and Oxford cloth, leather engraving, and cutting of high-strength reflective film.The combination of an 800mm cutting width and three laser configurations is ideal for processing scenarios involving large formats, a wide variety of materials, the need for a multi-purpose machine, and a desire to reduce manual waste removal.
