| Glossary Of Laser Engraving and Cut Terms
[1] |
| Lead-in/Lead-out Lead-in and lead-out are closely related concepts in CNC machining, laser cutting, and engraving processes. The lead-in refers to the initial path that the cutting tool or laser follows as it enters the workpiece to start the cutting or engraving process. It is designed to establish a precise starting point and initiate the cutting or engraving operation smoothly. Similarly, the lead-out is the path that the tool or laser follows as it exits the workpiece after completing the cutting or engraving operation. Lead-ins and lead-outs are carefully programmed to minimize the risk of damage to the workpiece, reduce material waste, and improve overall cutting or engraving quality by ensuring consistent acceleration and deceleration of the cutting tool or laser beam. |
