Introduction about the MDF board laser cutting machine

Q: Does the CO2 laser machine can cut MDF board ?

A: The CO2 laser machine can cut the MDF board. However, due to the different materials of the MDF, not every MDF can be cut by the laser machine. Some MDF board contain too much iron debris, soil, and other impurities, which are not suitable for laser cutting.

In addition, some MDF’s density not enough are not suitable for laser cutting.Nowadays,the types of MDF that can be cut by laser cutting machines have Ozon board, poplar board and water washing board. Among them, Ozon board is the best.

Q: How thick does the laser machine cut MDF?

A: The cutting thickness of MDF is related to the power of the laser. The bigger laser power, the thicker the MDF that can be cut. Commonly MDF cutting thicknesses are 6mm, 12mm, 18mm, etc.

Q: What is the speed of cutting MDF board ?

A: The cutting thickness of MDF is related to the laser power and the thickness of the plate. The higher laser power, the faster cutting speed.150w laser can cut 12 mm Ozon plate ,speed about 7 mm/s ~ 12 mm/s ;The 280w CO2 laser cuts 12mm Ozon plate speeds about 16mm/s ~ 25mm/s; 

Q: Can the laser cutting machinedraw lines on the surface of the MDF?

A: Yes.

Q: What is the speed of drawing a line?

A: The speed of the line drawn by the laser cutting machine is related to the structure of the machine itself. Generally speaking, Drawing speed is from 100 mm/s to 500 mm/s . 

Q: What factors determine the width of the cutting gap when the laser machine cut the MDF?

A: It is related to the size of the laser spot and the focus lens itself. It is also related to whether the cutting point is in focus. The bigger laser power, the larger the spot size and the larger the cutting gap.So, in order to cut the perfect gad you must find the right focus.

Q: What factors determine the drawing line effect ?

A: It is related to the laser power, whether the focus lens is in right focus, the laser brand, etc.

Q: Why do I cut the MDF somewhere cut well and somewhere can not cut?

A: This situation usually occurs on small power laser cutting machines. For example,When use 150w CO2 laser cuts MDF, this problem will be happen if the optical path is not adjusted well or the machine platform is not leveled .

Q: Why the MDF cutting surface is not vertical?

A: The machine's laser path is not adjusted well. It needs to be re-adjusted and the machine’s table is uneven and no in same level.
