(Summary description)Acrylic lenses actually refer to the general term for PMMA plates after electroplating, which can generally be divided into single sided mirrors, double-sided mirrors, rubber mirrors, paper mirrors, and half lenses. Acrylic fiber, as an emerging popular material, has the advantages of light weight, low price, and easy molding. Its molding methods include casting, injection molding, mechanical processing, acrylic hot forming, and so on. Especially injection molding, it can be produced in large quantities with simple processes and low costs. Therefore, its application is becoming increasingly widespread, currently widely used in instrument parts, car lights, optical lenses, transparent pipes, and so on.
Acrylic lenses made from acrylic electroplating can generally be made into single-sided mirrors, double-sided mirrors, half lenses, paint backed mirrors, adhesive backed mirrors, etc. It can also be cut into various shapes according to needs to adapt to various application scenarios. So how to cut acrylic lenses? What are the cutting methods? Please take a look below!
The cutting method for acrylic lenses: 1. Laser cutting: Laser can be used to cut acrylic lenses of any shape, while minimizing material waste as much as possible. The working principle of a laser cutting machine is to concentrate a large amount of energy on a limited small area, and then melt and vaporize the material. It should be noted that the cutting speed and light intensity must match well, which will affect whether the edges of the board are clean, polished, and free from any defects after cutting. When cutting thick acrylic lenses, laser cutting will be slower. 2. Circular saw machine linear cutting: generally used to achieve accurate linear cutting of one or more acrylic mirror plates. When cutting materials, the mirror surface should be facing downwards, and there should be a protective film between every two boards to protect the paint back coating during cutting. This method is a faster cutting method. 3. CNC carving: Similar to laser cutting, it can be cut according to the input diagram, but the cutting accuracy and effect are not as good as laser cutting. During cutting, more acrylic fragments are generated, wasting more materials than other cutting methods. 4. Manual marking and cutting: Without equipment, for single acrylic mirror surfaces with a thickness of less than 3mm, manual marking and cutting can be used for simple straight cutting. Use a hook knife to mark the lines to be cut on the acrylic lens, stroke back and forth a few times, then place one end on the desktop, hang one end in the air, and use your hand to break off the acrylic lens along the scratch. If you want the edges to be neat, you can use sandpaper to polish the edges.
The above are four commonly used cutting methods for acrylic lenses. CNC usually focuses on carving, such as text or patterns, and usually produces products that are not carved. Laser cutting machines must focus on cutting, as the name suggests, cutting. No matter which method is used, it is for the purpose of thorough cutting, so the cutting method should still be determined based on the requirements of the acrylic product you are processing.
