With the rapid development of the processing industry nowadays, the precision requirements for cutting in both metal and non-metal industries are getting higher and higher. Therefore, the requirements for intelligent and automated cutting are also increasing for improving production efficiency and reducing processing costs. For the cutting of non-metallic materials, laser cutting machines and vibrating knife cutting machines play an important role. So how much do you know about these two cutting machines? What is the difference between them in non-metal cutting processing? Let's take a look.

1. Laser cutting machine

    First of all, let’s take a look at the laser cutting machine. The development of the laser cutting machine is earlier than that of the vibrating knife cutting machine. Its working principle is to focus the laser light emitted from the laser into a high-power density laser beam through the optical path system. The laser beam irradiates the surface of the workpiece to make the workpiece reach the melting point or boiling point. At the same time, the high-pressure gas coaxial with the beam blows away the molten or vaporized metal. As the relative position of the beam and the workpiece moves, the material will eventually form a slit, so as to achieve the purpose of cutting. It has the characteristics of high precision, fast cutting speed, and material saving.

   However, it is more suitable for the metal industry such as: sheet metal processing, advertising sign production, mechanical parts, cutting of kitchen utensils

2. Vibrating knife cutting machine

   The vibrating knife is currently a relatively widely used processing equipment in the cutting process of flexible materials. It uses the up and down high-frequency vibration of the blade for cutting. It has high accuracy, fast cutting speed, and is not limited to the limitation of cutting patterns. It can automatically load and unload materials. , Intelligent typesetting, smooth cutting and low cost, etc., gradually improve or replace the traditional flexible cutting process equipment. 

   It is more suitable for the cutting of non-metal industries such as car interiors, clothing fabrics, leather, and carpets.

3. The difference between laser machine and vibrating knife cutting machine in cutting flexible materials.

From the perspective of the working principle of the two, the laser machine and the vibrating knife are completely different. When cutting flexible materials, when the laser machine cuts the material, the laser beam emitted by the equipment will cause the cutting edge to blur, smoke and other phenomena. Due to a series of environmental protection issues, when using a vibrating knife, the cutting edge of the material is neat. Because it is cut by a blade, it will not cause the phenomenon of a laser machine. It is green and environmentally friendly, with powerful functions, and the effect and efficiency can be guaranteed!
