What is the difference between a vibrating knife cutting machine and a laser cutting machine, and which cutting machine is better?

In the flexible material cutting industry, the most widely used are vibrating knife cutting machines and laser cutting machines. Both models occupy a large range of applications in the market. So what are the differences between these two types of cutting equipment? Which equipment should be better when choosing a cutting machine? Today I will introduce it to you in detail.

1. The biggest difference between a vibrating knife and a laser cutting machine is the different cutting principles.

The vibrating knife cutting machine completes the cutting process by combining the high-frequency vibration of the blade with the movement of the mechanical shaft, similar to the principle of a saw blade. Blade cutting is used. Belongs to the category of cold cutting.

Laser cutting machines use high-energy-density laser beams to irradiate the surface of the material to quickly heat the material to a melted or vaporized state, forming a cutting gap to achieve cutting.

2. These two different cutting principles seem to have completed the cutting work, but in fact they are very different. There will also be differences in cutting effects

The finished product cut by the vibrating knife cutting machine has smooth edges, precise cut size, no odor, and is more environmentally friendly.

When laser cutting machines cut flexible materials, they may cause blurred edges and smoke, which will have a certain impact on the environment. However, the vibrating knife belongs to the category of cold cutting and will not cause the above problems.

In general, vibrating knife cutting machines have advantages in terms of environmental protection, while laser cutting machines are better in terms of cutting accuracy and applicable material range. Choosing which cutting machine is best depends on your specific processing needs, budget, and environmental requirements.
