Title: Development and Practical Application of a Small Laser Engraving Machine
Keywords: laser engraving machine, microstepping mode of operation, stepping motor drive, two-coordinate control

Abstract: This paper is about the development and practical implementation of a low-cost small laser engraving machine. Based on formulated requirements the main device components are presented. Models of the individual elements and the whole machine are developed using а specialized software. Hybrid stepping motors are selected to drive the coordinate axes, which work in microstepping mode of operation. A suitably selected controller is used to control the machine. The practical implementation is illustrated with pictures of the developed laser engraving machine and a processed workpiece. The research carried out and the results obtained can be used in the development and using of such type of laser engraving devices.
