Abstract

This article details how a commercially available diode laser (VoidMicro LD4070HF Pro) can be integratedinto a conventional 3-axis CNC milling machine (HAAS Mini Mill Edu). Thanks to this development, the CNCmilling machine is now able to perform a new machining process. The laser module has a major impact onthe development of the secondary time, in addition to the rapid execution of engraving operations, i.e. by reducing the production lead time. During the production of a part, the marking of the product, such as QR codeand barcode, is also carried out on a single machine tool, thus reducing the production cost. An additionalbenefit of integrating a laser engraver is that the CNC milling machine can also be used for laser cutting thinplastic and wood panels.
