About engraver and router

cnc engraver on cnc routers and the difference between, a lot of people do not know. people on the intuitive feeling is that small size cnc engravers, large format is cnc routers, or call diaozao machine, lou milling machines, or simply referred to the cnc engraver. in fact, they are two different types of machines, but roughly the same principle, by x, y, z three-axis driven by the mobile electronic controller.

from the use of points on: cnc engravers is mainly used for sheet metal sculpture of a large number of boards used in two-color or acrylic sculpture, carving knife into a depth of about 1 mm-3mm around the signs, placards in the application of the more common. construction machinery from the point of view, cnc engraver the design of lightweight, x, y axis travel faster, z-axis shorter trip, suitable for carving 5 mm-8mm material.

carving spindle head with spring pressure nose and role in the process of carving pressure-3 mm below the thin sheet. carving through the main belt connected to the diameter of the larger motor, as the speed increased, so carving out the relatively smooth on the quality of the workpiece. the use of the carving knives longer, in a length of about 15.9 cm, diameter of 4.35 mm around. as the design constraints, it suitable for cutting a very small amount of high-speed production of the carving process.


cnc routers can be understood as both do fine carving, and can do cutting, router milling. for example, do three-dimensional sculpture, despite the great difference, but 200 mm wide materials may be time to complete, a feed considerable. cnc routers for the optional specifications from the cutter diameter of 1 mm-16mm, the length of their knives for 50 ~ 80 mm.

we can use flexible, with small knives xihuo dry, dry with a rough knife live. because of heavy machinery on the design load, a large steel frame, z-axis trip, and therefore can not only do small cnc engraver of the process, but also high-speed cutting thick sheet, a feed up to 20 mm-30mm, which is cnc engraver simply can not do the manufacturing process.
