In this era where everyone can be a designer, many people like to design something unique by themselves. But many times it stops in front of one's own hands-on ability. Now, the CNC engraving machine controlled by computer can easily solve this problem. First of all, let's review what is a CNC engraving machine?
CNC is the English abbreviation of Computer Numerical Control, so CNC engraving machine is also called CNC engraving machine. CNC routers are very delicate in operation and can be programmed to automatically drill, engrave or cut materials, increasing productivity.
CNC engraving machines are usually used for craft design processing and hobby woodworking engraving. It is an important thing to understand CNC engraving machines before purchasing. Below we will tell you how to choose a suitable CNC engraving machine.
Next we look at the scope of application of CNC engraving machine:

How to choose the CNC engraving machine that suits you:
The emergence of CNC engraving machines has given people who like to do DIY, just like the computer cutting plotters a few years ago, CNC engraving machines have gradually been accepted by people. Nowadays, badges, signs, crystal word light boxes, architectural models, molds, etc. produced by computer engraving machines have many application styles. With the gradual popularity and application of engraving machine applications, many users begin to think about how to choose a CNC engraving machine that suits them?
1. Small footprint:
A larger machine allows you to create more possibilities, but not everyone can have a large workspace, so choosing the best CNC engraving machine will provide a greater ratio of cutting space to footprint , allowing you to make large projects without wasting space.
2. Ease of use:
A simple user interface, easy maintenance and relatively simple tool replacement are the keys to the ease of use of CNC engraving machines.
3. Whether the structure is reasonable:
According to the structure: column type and gantry type, gantry is divided into fixed gantry and mobile gantry. The rigidity of column type and fixed gantry type is good.
According to the material: aluminum alloy, steel plate, cast iron, the weight increases sequentially, and the rigidity increases sequentially. As long as you don’t mill steel, carve wood, jade, copper and aluminum, or light-weight mill copper and aluminum and other soft metals, the aluminum alloy frame can meet the requirements. asked for.
In addition, the motion structure is also very important. Whether it is a ball screw or a T-shaped screw, whether it is a round rail or a square rail, if it is a round rail, it depends on whether it is a linear bearing or a self-lubricating bearing. You don’t have to think about using a ball screw. It depends on whether it is made locally or imported. The approximate price is like this. Self-lubricating bearing round rail = twice the price of linear bearing round rail produced in inland China, square rail in inland China = twice the price of self-lubricating bearing round rail, square rail made in Taiwan, China = 2 times the price of square rails made in inland China, square rails made in Japan = 2 times the price of square rails made in Taiwan, China; the price of ball screws made in Taiwan = 2~3 times the price of ball screws made in mainland China.
4. Material range:
All CNC machines can cut wood, but it's helpful to know the machine's material-cutting capabilities so you can predict how your machine will perform with different materials, especially hardwoods. Read this article to learn about the four common materials for CNC machining.
5. High quality:
The quality of a CNC engraving machine is determined by many factors, including the rigidity of the machine, components, motion system, spindle and operating system, etc., so you must truly understand these technical factors in order to make your work more effective.
Whether the effective stroke can meet the needs of use: it depends on the size of the largest object you need to engrave. It is recommended not to blindly pursue a large stroke, as long as it is enough.
6. The performance of the spindle motor:
If you are making products, it is recommended that you must use water-cooled spindles. If you do a lot of work, it is best to use 4-bearing water-cooled spindles, otherwise the lifespan will be relatively low.
7. Engraving speed:
The engraving speed determines the output efficiency. On the premise that the engraving effect meets the requirements, of course, the faster the speed, the better. The speed is not simply directly linked to the F value, but also depends on the motor acceleration. The greater the acceleration value can be set , the actual engraving speed can be closer to the F value. The acceleration is greatly affected at the beginning and end of the straight line. The middle section is the F value. The lower the F value, the better the engraving quality. The higher the acceleration value, the more accurate the transition section. The premise is the machine The strength is enough, and the stepper motor and driver are powerful enough.
Epilogue
After reading so many selection criteria of CNC engraving machine, how to choose engraving machine? You should also start to have a baseline in mind. Starting from the configuration and performance of the CNC engraving machine, then refer to the prices and after-sales services of different manufacturers.
Finally, I will send you that sentence: the most suitable CNC engraving machine for you is the best!
