Cutting Bed In laser engraving and cutting, the cutting bed refers to the surface on which the material being engraved or cut is placed during the engraving process. The cutting bed provides support and stability for the material, ensuring that it remains flat and properly aligned with the laser beam.
Cutting beds may feature adjustable height settings, vacuum hold-down systems, or pin arrays to secure materials of various sizes and thicknesses during engraving. Additionally, cutting beds may incorporate honeycomb or slatted designs to allow smoke, debris, and cutting waste to fall through, preventing buildup and maintaining optimal cutting quality. The design and composition of the cutting bed play a crucial role in achieving precise engraving results, minimizing material distortion, and ensuring efficient laser operation. |
