What is the difference between a fully automatic waste-removal engraving machine and a standard laser cutter?

The DF-980 fully automatic waste-removal laser engraving machine is designed to automatically separate waste material after cutting. For materials such as engraving film, polyester film, kraft paper, cardstock, non-woven fabric, Oxford cloth, leather, and high-intensity reflective film. There is no need for manual sorting of waste pieces one by one after cutting, eliminating the most labor-intensive step.

With a maximum cutting width of 800 mm, it is available in three configurations: 50W CO₂ laser, 45W metal RF, and 80W metal RF, corresponding to maximum cutting thicknesses of ≤1.5 mm, ≤2.2 mm, and ≤3 mm, respectively. It supports edge-following cutting, which cuts along contours without damaging the backing paper, and can be used offline with a USB drive.
