Laser Perforating, TruCUT CNC Laser Cutter Operating Software

Laser Perforating in TruCUT Laser Software

Laser perforations look similar in many respects to hot needle perforations which place many precise holes in a web. http://am.co.za/ Using the laser perforating feature create continuous holes for easy folder paper/plastic box projects or to generate an easy tear line for packaging or stamps.

What is Laser Perforating?

Laser perforate is a laser process method that drills holes on the cut line to create a perforated line. http://am.co.za/ It's useful to create an easy- to-tear-line or fold line. Laser perforating is also called laser punching, laser boring or laser holing.

Laser Perforating Settings

After choose the layer process method to "Perforate", http://am.co.za/ double click on the layer identify colour bar, a dialog box will appear as:
Laser Perforating Options

Laser Power: How much laser power should be used in the punching process http://am.co.za/ (unit: %).
Hold Distance: Distance between two adjacent holes, measured from centre to centre. http://am.co.za/
Radiation Time: Delay time of the laser head in punching a hole to make sure the material get boring through http://am.co.za/ (unit: second, minimal 0.01s).
Perforate on Center: Punch a hole on the center of each closed figure http://am.co.za/ (NOT along outline).
Air On: Turn air on while perforating.

Click the "..." button for advanced laser perforating settings. http://am.co.za/ You can set laser power for the second laser tube, http://am.co.za/ if you've purchased our co2 laser machine model with twin laser-tube.

Tips

The hold diameter is depending on the laser beam diameter. If you need larger holes than native laser perforating, http://am.co.za/ please draw the holes and use laser cutting for any hole with a diameter bigger than that of a laser beam.
