Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of laser engraving equipment, and specifically relates to a multi-station interchangeable laser engraving equipment. Background Art

[0002] Laser engraving machine is to use laser beam to carve permanent marks on the surface of materials or inside transparent materials. Laser beam can produce two kinds of effects on materials: chemical effect and physical effect. When the material absorbs laser light instantly, it will produce physical or chemical reaction, thus carving marks or showing patterns or texts. Therefore, it is also called laser marking machine or laser engraving machine.

[0003] Traditional laser engraving machines perform one-on-one laser engraving by aiming the lens at the engraved product below. If two products are placed together and the laser engraving is not centered, the laser engraving effect cannot meet production requirements. Laser engraving the same product in two places requires two laser engraving machines. The laser engraving machine stops working when the personnel are placing the products, and the processing efficiency is low. Utility Model Content

[0007] Furthermore, the function of the multi-station interchange device is to realize the position change between multiple stations, so that when the laser engraving device is working on the workpiece, another workpiece holder can replace the workpiece under the operation of the operator, thereby allowing the laser engraving equipment to work continuously, saving time and improving work efficiency.

[0008] Furthermore, the lateral moving device is connected to a light sensor, and the light sensor can move parallel to the lateral moving device. The workpiece support is provided with a sensor sheet linked to the workpiece support, and the sensor sheet cooperates with the light sensor to work.

The slide plate drives the induction sheet and the mounting platform to move, and the position of the workpiece support corresponds to the position of the induction sheet.

[0010] Furthermore, there are two change buttons, which are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the fixed platform. The function of the change button is to change the moving direction. When the change button on one side is pressed, the mounting platform moves to that side. The operator only needs to stand in the middle to operate the left and right movement of the workpiece without walking around.

[0011] Furthermore, the fixed platform is provided with a scanning button switch in the middle of the two transformation buttons. After the workpiece support moves to the corresponding position, the scanning button switch is pressed to start the laser printing program.
