Types of Digital Cutting Machine
Laser Cutters
Laser engravers are perfect for businesses that need to cut low production volumes of small, on-demand items. The wattage of the laser will determine how fast the machine can cut and the thickness it can cut through. The bigger the bed or higher the wattage, the more expensive the equipment will be.
Applications: Non-PVC plastics and acrylics.
Price Range: $10k to $70k. Industrial size cutters with high wattage can be $200k and up.
Advantages: Laser cutting produces smooth, clean edges.
Vinyl Cutters
Vinyl cutters use a sharp blade and roll feed. This cutting technology is the most well-known because of the popularity of vinyl lettering. In fact, vinyl cutting existed well before digital inkjet printing, and started with cutting letters from solid pieces of vinyl.
Vinyl cutters are also known for kiss cutting, which is also known as half cutting. This technique does not cut through the back of the vinyl material.
Applications: Vinyl materials for creating decals and lettering.
Price Range: $1,500 to $8K.
Advantages: The equipment is often inexpensive compared to other cutters.
Flatbed Cutters
This type of cutting is similar to vinyl, but instead of a roll feed, the media lies on a flatbed table. Vacuum technology holds materials in place during production to avoid bowing.
Flatbed cutters are the ultimate diverse cutting machine. You can use a variety of tools, such as a router bit for cutting wood and heavy plastics or an oscillating tool to cut through dense materials.
Applications: Rigid substrates, heavy plastics, plastic films, control panels, wood, vinyl, fabric, etc.
Price Range: Small table cutters range from $15K to $40K. Bigger, more diverse models range from $60K to $250K.
Advantages: Vacuum technology. Versatility. Complete, solid cuts.
Printer-Cutters
If you're looking to conserve space and cutting speed isn't a priority, you may want to consider a combination printer-cutter machine.
Applications: Vinyl decals, window signs, labels, T-shirt transfers, etc.
Price Range: $12K to $25K.
Advantages: Conserves space and costs.
Application of Digital Cutting Machine
Label and Sticker Die-Cutting
Label and sticker die cutting is a unique niche to digital cutting machines, and it requires specialized skills to meet the demands and challenges of creating self-adhesive labels and stickers in various shapes. These utilize sophisticated software to read design files and produce similar accurate cuts to give the products that level of detail. This capability is especially of value in fields such as product packaging that require specialized label shapes and sizes that not only add to the companies' image but also appeal to the consumers. Digital die-cutting enables faster production while simultaneously providing customization, which is vital in creating attractive labels that attract customers' attention.
Paper Box and Carton Die-Cutting
Digital cutting machines are also widely used to produce paper boxes and cartons for accurate die-cutting and fast production. They help reduce the time taken to slice and carve several paperboard materials, mainly cardboard, to achieve different styles of boxes. They embrace computer-controlled precision, enhancing product cumulative production's standardization and accuracy. Hence, increasing output through this capability is essential in the food packaging and retail sectors, where the ability to organize for speed in producing small standardized/custom-shaped boxes is essential for the market and containing products in the right shape.
How to Use a Digital Cutting Machine
First, choose the patterned paper you want to make toppers from. One with good contrast and clear outlines around the images will be the easiest to start off with if you are new to digital cutting machine. Smooth down onto the adhesive mat and load into the machine. Select 'Scan' and then 'Direct Cut'. For the device, choose the image of the ScanNCut machine.
Click to edit, the paper size should be 12 x 12". Next, check the recognition mode, and select the colour icon if using coloured pattern paper (or the black and white icon if your images are in black and white).
Press 'start' and the mat will load, scan and present the scanned image on the screen. Use the adjuster arrows to select the area of the scanned paper you wish to cut, as you may wish to only cut a portion of the paper rather than the whole sheet. Zoom in using the magnifying glass icon and arrow keys to navigate, it helps to just check the areas to cut have been picked up correctly. Select 'OK'.
You will now see your selected cutting area on the preview screen, showing the cut outlines, check and if happy click 'ok'. (if you need to reselect simply use the back key and reselect area or simply unload and rescan your paper)
Tap 'OK', then 'Cut', then 'start'. You will be prompted to load the mat if you have not already done so. The mat will load and the screen will display the estimated cutting time. When done, tap 'OK' to finish, then unload the mat. Lift the waste paper to reveal perfectly cut toppers! Carefully remove them from the mat using the spatula. You now have a selection of fussy cut motifs for your projects - stash them away or use straight away!
Digital Cutting Machine VS Laser Cutting Machine
The laser cutting machine uses the laser beam emitted from the laser generator to focus on the laser beam irradiation condition of high power density through the optical path system. The laser heat is absorbed by the workpiece material and the temperature of the workpiece rises sharply. After reaching the boiling point, the material begins to vaporize and form Holes, accompanied by high-pressure airflow, move the relative position of the beam and the workpiece, and finally form a slit in the material. The process parameters (cutting speed, laser power, gas pressure, etc.) and movement trajectory during slitting are controlled by the CNC system, and the slag at the slit is blown off by the auxiliary gas with a certain pressure.
The laser cutting machine replaced the traditional mechanical cutter with an invisible beam. It has the advantages of high precision, fast cutting speed, not limited by cutting patterns, automatic material saving and material saving, smooth cutting, and low processing cost. It will gradually improve or replace traditional metal cutting equipment. The laser cutting machine is very good in cutting flexible materials, clean and smooth. However, laser machine maintenance is also more, the laser head will heat up after a long time, need water cooling. Because the laser is cut by high temperature, the yellow mark is often left after cutting the fabric. Another disadvantage is that the smell is very large and not environmentally friendly.
Laser cutter machine is mainly used for cutting wood, MDF, metal, plastic, acrylic and textile, leather, foam, sponge, paper and other flexible materials.
The digital cutting machine mainly uses the high-frequency vibration of the blade up and down to cut. This method changes the traditional cutting method that relies on the relative movement of the tool and the workpiece to complete the method. High-frequency vibration cutting is a pulsed intermittent cutting process, which can greatly reduce the cutting force, reduce frictional heat, improve the durability of the tool, reduce the roughness of the processed surface, and improve the tool life and the processing quality of the workpiece. In general, we put the process parameters, the motion path of the tool, the displacement, the cutting parameters (spindle rotation, feed, back-feeding, etc.) and auxiliary functions (tool change, spindle forward, reverse, cutting fluid on, off Etc.), according to the instruction code and program format specified by the CNC cutting system, write a processing program list, and then record the content of this program list on the control medium (such as perforated paper tape, magnetic tape, magnetic disk, bubble memory), and then enter In the CNC device of the CNC machine tool, the processed parts are processed automatically according to the pre-programmed processing program.
The digital cutting machine will vibrate up and down when cutting, tens of thousands of vibrations per minute, similar to the principle of a saw blade, but there is no serration, no powder will be produced, the vibrating knife can freely change the head, according to different materials, you can choose round Knife, half cutter, drag knife, bevel cutter, milling cutter, etc. The finished product cut by the vibrating knife is also clean and clean, the edges are smooth, and the size of the cut piece is accurate, odorless, more environmentally friendly, soft and hard materials are commonly eaten, and the leather cushion modification system is very good. Its cutting speed is twice that of a rotary knife and twice that of a laser. It is also the first choice for many companies now.
5 Factors to Consider Before Purchasing a Digital Cutting Machine
Applications & Media
What do you need your cutter to do? Are you planning on cutting plastic and cardboard, or tougher media like leather and wood? As we covered above, you will need to make sure your cutter is designed for your chosen media and can feed the size of the materials you're working with; this includes width, length and thickness. For example, let's say you're opening up a new signage and displays business.
Production Capacity
How much will you be using your cutter and how fast do you need it to work?
One thing you want to avoid is bottlenecks. If you're expecting high production volumes, you'll need a continuous-feed machine or multiple machines. Features like conveyor systems and media supply rollers can maximize production capacity, while pneumatically-driven media advance clamps will hold the material down while pulling it forward for continuous work or multiple jobs.
Hybrid printer-cutters tend to have slower speeds than machines that only cut, so be sure to factor in your production goals when deciding on a model.
Budget
The cost of cutters will depend on a few factors:
● Size
● Type (laser, vinyl, flatbed, printer-cutter combo)
● Features
● Brand and model
● Wattage (for laser cutters)
Note that these prices don't include materials or labor, so you may want to factor those additional costs into your final budget.
As with anything, you get what you pay for. Small, desktop cutters may be more affordable, but they are more suited for home crafting projects. To get the precision, speed and quality you need for your business, look toward commercial-grade models.
Business Growth
What are your business plans for your cutter in the next year? The next two years? The next five? If you're willing to make the investment, you should take the time to think about your goals for the future and how your cutting machine will play a role.
Maybe you are planning to move to a different space in the next few years - will your cutter fit in a new area? Or maybe you want to explore different types of media - does the cutter you have in mind have the versatility to work with various materials?
Also consider how the lifespan of these machines will correlate with your business goals. A high-end cutter may come with a bigger price tag, but it will likely have a longer lifespan than cheaper models.
Industry Trends
What's happening in the industry? Are there reviews for new products? As with any business tool, new technologies are introduced all the time. In the last few years, more wide-format printers have entered the market, leading cutter manufacturers to increase equipment sizes to cut larger prints. Printer-cutter machine options are also expanding, with more brands exploring hybrid varieties.
4 Maintenance Tips for Digital Cutting Machines
Frequent Cleaning of Machine Components
In addition to the importance of keeping the work area free of dust, to prevent it from entering the equipment and impairing the cut, it is also important to keep other components clean such as linear guides, motors or racks. In order to keep them functioning properly, it is important to keep them free from rubbish or metallic dust and, if necessary, properly lubricated.
Cleaning the Different Components of the Cutting Head
Before any intervention on the cutting head components, it is important to carefully clean the head with a soft cloth and clean the surrounding area to prevent the entry of garbage. In order to guarantee the precision of the cut, the ceramic ring and nozzle must be replaced daily. If the nozzle is damaged by the laser beam or after a collision, it must be promptly replaced. The protection window cartridge must also be checked. If the protection window is dirty, it does not allow the light beam to pass correctly, which will hinder your productivity. To do this, carefully remove the protective window and remove any dirt with a clean air blower. If the window cannot be completely cleaned or damaged, it must be replaced.
Cleaning the Filter
Clean the dust collection baskets daily. In case of intensive use of the filter, the baskets should be cleaned several times during the day. The cleaning cycles of the dust collection baskets are defined by the operator according to the machine's workload.
Scheduling Periodic Preventive Maintenance with Certified Entities
Given the technical strength of the components of digital cutting machines, it is always important to maintain a schedule of preventive maintenance, with a certified entity. These maintenance should be used to check other essential points that, due to their technical component, cannot be verified by the equipment operator.
