Laser Cutting

Laser Cutting is the process of cutting an object using a laser. One advantage of this process is that laser cutting does not require contact to be made with the item being cut. In contrast, in a contact-cutting process, the bit or other type of cutting tool must be replaced when it becomes worn. Laser cutting also requires no retooling or recasting of dies for multiple applications. Because laser cutters are cnc machines, merely changing software settings starts a radically different laser cutting application.

Laser cutting machines, or laser systems, are machines that consist of a laser and have a surface to place an object to be laser cut. The laser cutting machines typically have an enclosure to protect the user from the laser being used. Most objects sit stationary while being cut. During the laser cutting process, a carriage with a lens moves on an X, Y axis to cut the object. Laser cutting machines also include a Z axis that is set prior to cutting based on a variety of variables.

Universal Laser Systems has an advanced laser print driver for laser material processing systems. The print driver, Laser Interface+, features advantages specific to laser cutting. The same laser cutting job can have different cutting power levels and speed settings which can help to increase production efficiencies. When a laser cutting job requires high-accuracy, the driver enables the user to scale the vector graphic to compensate for material melt-back and beam diameter.

Laser marking is the process of marking an object using a laser. This process does not require any contact to be made with the item that is being marked. This is advantageous over other types of marking processes because in a contact-marking process, there is an additional medium applied to the surface of the material that could scratch off or fade with time. There is no need for retooling when using laser marking. Laser marking is permanent yet it does not remove any material or cause deformation.

Laser Metal Marking

Using Universal's High Power Density Focusing Optics (HPDFO)™ Universal systems can even mark some metals. The laser's power density is increased by using this special accessory. The HPDFO makes it possible to directly mark stainless steel, iron, titanium, chromed steel and some exotic high-carbon metals without the need for metal marking compounds.

Laser Marking Software

Universal Laser Systems has an advanced laser print driver for laser material processing systems. The print driver, Laser Interface+, has advantageous features for laser marking processes. Laser Interface+ is easy to learn increasing productivity. There is a print preview function ensures that your laser markings are properly setup. The software stores and can re-run up to 2,000 jobs without the need to open graphics software.

Laser graphic imaging is the process of a laser beam modifying a material producing permanent photographic images. Universal's laser systems deliver the highest possible laser graphic imaging performance on a wide variety of materials.

Laser Photo Imaging

Laser photo imaging machines quickly enable ornate images to be created at a high quality and level of detail that was previously unattainable. Accurately and quickly image intricate designs and artwork onto a variety of mediums with a laser. Laser photo imaging is a great way to create home decorations, plaques, and works of art.

Laser Graphic Imaging Software

All types of digital photos work with Universal's laser systems. With Universal's 1-Touch Laser Photo™ software you can quickly laser image photos without using third party photo editing software. 1-Touch Laser Photo automatically applies special filters that adjust the image appropriately for the material being laser processed.

Laser engraving is the process of engraving an object using a laser. This process does not require any contact to be made with the item that is being engraved. This is advantageous over other types of engraving processes because in a contact-engraving process, the bit or other type of engraving tool must be replaced when it becomes dull. There is no need for retooling when using laser engraving. Because laser engravers are cnc machines, software settings merely need to be changed to start a radically different laser engraving application.

Laser engraving machines quickly enable ornate engravings to be created at a high quality and level of detail that was previously unattainable. Memorable and special photographs can now be engraved in a variety of mediums with a laser. Laser photo engraving is a great way to create home decorations, plaques, and works of art.

Laser Engraving Software

Universal Laser Systems has software specifically made for laser photo engraving. This software is named 1-Touch Laser Photo. 1-Touch Laser Photo quickly empowers the user to prepare an image for laser engraving on a variety of materials at optimum settings. First, the image is opened in the software. Next the image is sized to the same size as the material to be engraved. Third, the material is chosen from a drop down list and the appropriate filter is applied to the photo. Finally, the filtered image is engraved onto the material.

A Universal laser system is unlike any other laser system because they offer several exclusive, Uniquely Universal features. These are patented, proven laser processing innovations that were designed to make laser processing more effective, productive, and profitable.

Laser Technology

A Universal laser system consists of a laser platform and one or more laser sources. The laser platform houses the system CPU, operating software, safety equipment, processing stage and the laser optics delivery system. The laser beam itself is generated by the laser source, which also includes an air-cooling apparatus and a laser pointer for beam positioning.
