Pneumatic Engraving Machine Vs Electric Engraving Machines

Nov 06, 2024

As the industrial revolution took place, machines changed, and the use of electricity expanded to all walks of life, and the engraving industry saw the emergence of electric engraving machines. The earliest electric engravers were relatively simple in design and easy to maneuver and use, meeting the needs of small engraving operations. But with the development of industrialization, the expansion of the scale of production on the demand for engraving machines also continue to improve, it produced a pneumatic engraving machine. Pneumatic engraving machine not only improves the engraving efficiency, but also meet the increasingly complex engraving needs.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of electric engraving machine?

Advantages

1. High efficiency

Compared with traditional manual engraving, electric engraving machine utilizes a motor to drive the cutter head to rotate at high speed, which not only improves the engraving speed, but also reduces the pressure on the hand during the engraving process. Electric engraving machine you only need to guide the cutter head for engraving, suitable for batch and long time engraving work.

2. Can be applied to a variety of materials

Electric engraving machine can be applied to a variety of materials, such as carving wood and other soft materials, the use of electric engraving machine is easier to control, but also do not need to be like the traditional engraving tools such as waste of energy. In the carving of metal and other hard materials, electric engraving machine can be better adapted to the diverse needs of engraving.

3. High accuracy of engraving

Electric engraving machine can be suitable for carving different materials, when used to adjust the speed to achieve different materials and details of the fine carving, so that the carving out of the effect is more delicate.

4. Simple operation

The use of electric engraving machine to carve is relatively simple, generally only need to start the power supply, adjust the speed can be used. For beginners, electric engraving machine is easier to operate than traditional engraving tools to save energy, but also improve efficiency. Beginners can use the electric engraving machine in a short period of time, easy to operate, engraving speed can also be improved.

Disadvantages

1. Heat dissipation performance

The motor of the electric engraving machine will generate a lot of heat in a long time under high-speed operation, so if the heat dissipation performance of the electric engraving machine is not enough, the electric engraving machine may be overheated and lead to the performance of the stop or decline, affecting the efficiency of engraving. Electric engraving machine is not suitable for long time engraving tasks, need to stop frequently at intervals to dissipate heat. To solve the heat dissipation problem, it is necessary to configure the cooling system inside the electric engraving machine or use heat-resistant materials for assembly.

2. Easy to wear

Electric engraving machine internal motor or brush and other parts are very easy to wear state, need to be regularly replaced and maintained. Especially for high-intensity work, electric engraving machine motor and other parts are also prone to failure, high maintenance costs, not conducive to the efficiency of engraving.

3. Stability has limitations

In the requirements of very high precision and stability of the occasion, especially to deal with high hardness materials, electric engraving machine is easy to produce vibration in high-speed operation, which will affect the accuracy and stability, may not be as good as pneumatic engraving machine.

4. Higher noise level

Electric engraving machine in the running process will produce more noise, especially when the speed is faster. In the need for quiet work occasions, the use of electric engraving machine is not conducive to a quiet working environment.

5. Safety issues

Electric engraving machine in the process of engraving the knife head will rotate at high speed, if the operator in the process of using accidentally touched, easy to be injured. There can not be used in a wet environment electric engraving machine, because of the characteristics of electric engraving machine, in a wet environment is easy to produce the risk of leakage of electricity.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of pneumatic engraving machine?

Advantages

1. Realize high precision engraving

Pneumatic engraving machine is the use of air compression driven engraving tools, can realize the details of the engraving process engraving, so that the engraving effect is more fine. People's demand for engraving is becoming more and more complex and refined, and the pneumatic engraving machine can quickly complete complex engraving tasks.

2. Can work for a long time

Pneumatic engraving machine is not like the electric engraving machine, need to rely on the motor, it is the use of air compression to drive, so even if it is a long time to work, there will be no motor overheating problem, suitable for large-scale production and high-intensity work requirements.

3. Applicable to a variety of materials

Pneumatic engraving machine is also applicable to a variety of materials, which is the same as the electric engraving machine. In the face of metal, wood, glass, plastic and other different materials, pneumatic engraving machine flexible cutter head design and adjustable air pressure can be matched and adjusted according to the different hardness and characteristics, so as to better carry out the engraving.

4. With flexibility

Using a pneumatic engraving machine for engraving, the cutter head is lighter, you can carve the details through the tiny changes in the hand, of course, this kind of experience and skill for the engraver is also more demanding, in order to show the high precision and detail performance.

Disadvantages

1. Noise problem

Pneumatic engraving machine in the compressed air, will produce a large noise, the surrounding environment caused by interference, this disadvantage and electric engraving machine is also the same.

2. Complicated equipment control

The engraving effect of pneumatic engraving machine is associated with the setting of air pressure. Different materials and carving needs, you may need to constantly adjust the air pressure to achieve the best results in carving. This is difficult for beginners and takes time to learn and adapt.
