Thinner materials are best:
Diode lasers, being lower-powered than CO2 lasers, are typically
-
better suited for cutting thinner sheets of vulcanized fiber, ideally around 2 to 2.5 mm.
-
Yes,
you can cut vulcanized fiber (also known as fishpaper) with a diode
laser, though it may require multiple passes and careful adjustment of
power and speed settings. Here's a more detailed explanation:
Diode Lasers and Vulcanized Fiber:
While
diode lasers are often used for cutting and engraving organic materials
like wood, leather, and paper, they can also be used for cutting
vulcanized fiber. Material Properties:
Vulcanized fiber is a laminated material composed of cellulose, offering high tensile, tear, burst, and dielectric properties. Cutting Considerations:
- Multiple Passes: You might need to use multiple passes to cut through vulcanized fiber, depending on the thickness and laser power.
- Power and Speed: Experiment
with different power and speed settings to find the optimal combination
for your laser and the thickness of the vulcanized fiber.
- Air Assist: Using air assist can help to clear debris from the cut and improve the quality of the cut.
- Focus: Ensure the laser is properly focused on the material.
For diode laser cutting of vulcanized fiber, aim for speeds around 200-400 mm/min and power settings between 80% and 100%. Adjust these settings based on the thickness of the material and desired cut quality, potentially requiring multiple passes. [1, 2, 3] Here's a more detailed breakdown: [4] - Material: Vulcanized fiber, also known as fishpaper, is a laminated material composed of cellulose. [4]
- Diode Laser Characteristics: Diode lasers are typically slower than CO2 lasers, with speeds measured in millimeters per minute (mm/min). [1, 5]
- Speed: [1]
- For 2mm thick vulcanized fiber, a speed range of 200-400 mm/min is a good starting point. [1]
- Experiment with slightly faster or slower speeds to find the optimal balance between cutting speed and quality. [1, 2]
- Power: [1, 2]
- Start with power settings between 80% and 100%. [1, 2]
- Higher power settings can lead to deeper cuts, but also potentially more charring or burning. [1, 2, 3]
- Lower power settings may require multiple passes to achieve a complete cut. [1, 2, 3]
- Passes: [1, 2, 3]
- For 2mm thick vulcanized fiber, one or two passes may be sufficient. [1, 2, 3]
- If the cut isn't complete, try increasing the number of passes or adjusting the power settings. [1, 2, 3]
- Air Assist: Consider using air assist to help with cutting, as it can help to blow away debris and improve cut quality. [3]
- Testing: [2, 6]
- Before
cutting your final project, perform test cuts on scrap material to find
the optimal settings for your specific laser and material. [2, 6]
- Use a cutting test file with varying speeds and power settings to find the best combination for your material. [6]
- Safety: [7]
- Always wear appropriate eye protection when operating a laser cutter. [7]
- Ensure the laser cutter is in a well-ventilated area. [7]
