What equipment is better for FPC soft board cutting?

At present, the laser cutting equipment commonly used in the laser industry for cutting FPC products includes UV laser cutting machine, FPC shape laser cutting machine, FPC UV laser cutting machine, flexible circuit board laser cutting machine, etc. There is no clear segmentation for customers, usually collectively referred to as FPC laser, or some customers are FPC laser machines. In addition, in the process of laser cutting metal products, it is usually named directly according to the type of laser, such as fiber laser cutting machine, YAG laser cutting machine, CO2 laser cutting machine, etc. This also caused some misunderstandings for some customers who have just come into contact with laser cutting equipment, and then used FPC soft board cutting.

What is FPC soft board laser cutting?

The mainstream in the current market is 10-20W UV laser cutter and low-power CO2 laser cutter within 300W. The high-end uses picosecond or even femtosecond laser cutter, but this high-end equipment cannot be used in 99% of cases.

In addition, the workpiece FPC laser cutting machine is also different. One is to use the older CO2 engraving machine to cut the FPC soft board, using a collimator, mainly used for processing leather, cloth, wood, plastic and other products. Although some products are also matched with the CCD positioning system, the accuracy is low and gradually eliminated.

The precision laser cutting machine using galvanometer plus visual positioning can be used with UV, green and CO2 lasers as needed. The processing accuracy is higher than the above two, mainly for the processing of precision products, such as FPC, camera modules, glass, ceramics, silicon wafers, copper foil, film, etc.

Compared with them, the processing accuracy of FPC UV laser cutting machine and FPC soft board CO2 laser cutting machine is different. The light source of UV laser cutting machine is cold light source, with small spot and small heat impact, while the spot of CO2 laser is coarse and the heat impact is large, so the cutting line width of UV laser cutting machine is small and there is no carbonization. However, due to cost and power reasons, the processing of UV laser is not as heavy as CO2 laser, so CO2 laser is generally used for thicker PCB boards.

But the laser power of green laser cutting machine is relatively large, and it is often used on PCB boards, cutting equipment, and glass cutting equipment.

This article introduces the characteristics and features of FPC soft board laser cutting machine, introduces its characteristics and features, introduces the basic structure and performance requirements of laser cutting machine, introduces the basic structure and performance requirements of laser cutting machine. CCD positioning and imported linear cutting machine ensure the processing accuracy, and the stable marble platform can ensure the stability of the processing process, which is not available in CO2 cutting equipment. Of course, this equipment is also much cheaper than UV cutting machine.
