METHOD FOR IMPROVING ENGRAVING QUALITY OF LASER ENGRAVING MACHINE

Abstract

A method for improving engraving quality of a laser engraving machine is provided. At least one type of engraving parameter for a workpiece under processing is configured or stored in a database of a computer terminal. After an apparatus terminal receives one of the engraving parameters in the database, an engraving device on the apparatus terminal is driven to perform an engraving operation. When the engraving device moves back and forth on the same engraving path, the engraving device performs the engraving operation in only one direction.

Claims

1. A method for improving engraving quality of a laser engraving machine, comprising steps of: step a: configuring or storing at least one type of engraving parameter for a workpiece under processing in a database of a computer terminal; step b: after an apparatus terminal receives one of the data parameters in the database in step a, driving an engraving device on the apparatus terminal to perform an engraving operation; and step c: the engraving device, when moving back and forth on a same engraving path, performing the engraving operation in only one direction.

2. The method for improving engraving quality of a laser engraving machine according to claim 1, wherein in step c, the engraving device performs the engraving operation on the workpiece under processing during an outbound movement, and halts the engraving operation on the workpiece under processing during an inbound movement.

3. The method for improving engraving quality of a laser engraving machine according to claim 1, wherein the engraving device is driven and rotated by a motor.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0010] The Sole FIGURE is a flowchart of an embodiment of the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] The Sole FIGURE shows a method for improving engraving quality according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0012] Referring to The Sole FIGURE, the method for improving engraving quality of the present invention is primarily applied to a laser engraving operation, and a process thereof includes following steps.

[0013] In step a, at least one type of engraving parameter for a workpiece under processing is configured or stored in a database of a computer terminal.

[0014] In step b, after an apparatus terminal receives one of the engraving parameters in the database in step a, an engraving device on the apparatus terminal is driven to perform an engraving operation.

[0015] In step c, when the engraving device moves back and forth on an engraving path, the engraving device performs the engraving operation in only one direction.

[0016] In implementation, when the workpiece under processing is placed at the apparatus terminal and engraving operation is to be performed, the engraving device may be driven by a motor according to the engraving parameter provided by the computer terminal, and prepares to start engraving. A movement mode of the engraving device on the apparatus terminal is configured as, an outbound movement (forward movement) and an inbound movement (backward movement) of a next path are performed only after the engraving device has completed an outbound movement (forward movement) and an inbound movement (backward movement) of the current path. Thus, in step b of the present invention, when the engraving device moves back and forth on the same engraving path, the engraving device is caused to perform the engraving operation in only one direction. For example, on the same path, laser engraving is performed during only the outbound movement (forward movement), and laser engraving is halted during the inbound movement (backward movement).

[0017] Thus, with the above design, when the engraving device moves back and forth on the same engraving path, the engraving device performs the engraving operation in only one direction, thereby effectively alleviating the issue of degraded quality caused by laser processing when a motor operates in different directions, further enhancing the engraving precision and quality.

[0018] An embodiment of the present invention and technical means applied are as described above. Based on the disclosure or teaching of the description, numerous variations and modifications may be derived, which are to be considered as equivalent changes of the concept of the present invention. Hence, the effectiveness generated by such variations and modifications are within the substantial spirits covered by the description and drawings, and are to be encompassed within the technical scope of the present invention.

[0019] In conclusion, based on the above disclosure, the method for improving laser quality of a laser engraving machine of the present invention is capable of achieving expected objects of the present invention, and provides industrial applicability. Therefore, a patent application is submitted accordingly.

[0020] It should be understood that different modifications and variations could be made from the disclosures of the present invention by the people familiar in the art, which should be deemed without departing the spirit of the present invention.
