What do you cut acrylic sheets with?

Acrylic sheet in the life of more applications, small to stationery accessories, large to mechanical equipment, have its figure. So how to cut the acrylic test? Small today to analyse in detail the acrylic sheet cutting to the process application. Common acrylic sheet cutting usually have manual hook knife cutting, vibration knife cutting and laser cutting. Different processes have different advantages and disadvantages.

Acrylic sheet with what cutting?
1. Hook knife cutting
Hook knife cutting refers to the manual use of a blade in the acrylic plate surface groove, and then manually break can be. The advantage is that the cost is low, can be directly on the operation, without the need for pre-capital investment, and manual operation, flexibility, the disadvantage is that the manual operation of low accuracy, the edge is not smooth, suitable for straight line cutting, for round and other special shapes difficult to operate.

2. Vibrating knife cutting
Vibrating knife cutting refers to the use of vibrating knife cutting machine to cut, the advantage is that according to the thickness of acrylic can choose a different knife head, cutting arc beautifully, cutting efficiency is relatively high compared to laser cutting and manual cutting, the disadvantage is that the tool wear and tear, the initial capital investment is large. And the cutting interval is large, low edge smoothness

3. Laser cutting
Laser cutting is the use of acrylic plate thermal expansion coefficient of the characteristics of large, through the laser beam high temperature irradiation on the surface of acrylic to achieve the cutting effect. Its advantage is that the edge is smooth and burr-free, suitable for a variety of shaped material cutting, easy and convenient operation, the disadvantage is that compared to the vibration knife, cutting thick acrylic plate when the speed is slow, and the edge is not transparent, need to be polished later, and the laser belongs to the thermal cutting, the operation of the inappropriate when the effect of yellow edges may occur.
