What this machine will and will not work
| Wood Production | Production material for both heads, and the variant where having both actually pays. The spindle profiles, pockets, drills and surfaces ply, MDF and hardwood at 86 400 mm3/min on the reference cut; the laser then engraves, marks and kiss-cuts the same part without it ever leaving the bed, because the 130 mm head offset is a machined constant the post processor already knows. Inlay and engraved-then-cut work that would otherwise mean two setups becomes one job. Dust shoe and extractor for the spindle work, fume extraction and eyewear for the laser work - both are fitted and both are used. |
|---|---|
| Plastic Production | Production for the spindle, capable for the laser, and the two do different jobs. Milling handles Delrin, nylon, HDPE, ABS and PVC foam at 12 000-18 000 rpm on a single-flute O-flute with a high chip load. The laser adds engraving and marking on opaque and dark plastics only - light and translucent grades transmit 450 nm and do nothing. **PVC and PTFE must never go near the laser**: hydrogen chloride and hydrogen fluoride respectively, which harm the operator and corrode the machine. PVC foam board is fine to mill and forbidden to cut with light, and that distinction is on the lid placard. |
| Acrylic Capable | Milled with the spindle: cast acrylic profiles and engraves cleanly with a single-flute O-flute at 14 000-18 000 rpm and a deliberately coarse 0.10 mm chip load, air blast only, never flood - any water-miscible fluid crazes it. Cut with the laser: **dark and pigmented cast sheet only, up to about 3 mm**, because clear acrylic is transparent at 450 nm and the beam passes straight through it. So on this machine clear acrylic is a milling material and dark acrylic is either. The laser edge is matt, not flame-polished - that finish is a CO2 signature and this head cannot produce it. |
| Aluminium Light duty | Light milling only, and only with the spindle. 6061 and 6082 with a 6 mm two-flute carbide at 12 000 rpm, 1.5 mm radial by 4 mm axial, 0.04 mm per tooth, 960 mm/min, air blast, adaptive toolpaths - which is the 144 N cut the whole platform was sized against, and the machine has 915 N/mm of static stiffness to spend on it. The laser contributes nothing here: bare aluminium reflects 450 nm and 40 W raises no melt pool. Anodised coating can be ablated, but that is coating removal and it is not published as a metal capability. |
| Steel Not supported | Not supported by either head. The spindle cannot mill it - steel needs roughly 2 000 N/mm2 of specific cutting force, about thirteen times the aluminium figure this frame was sized for, and torque at 1 500-3 000 rpm that a 500 W spindle with an 8 000 rpm floor does not have. The laser cannot cut or mark it - that needs a kilowatt-class fibre source with an assist jet, or a 1 064 nm fibre for marking. Steel milling on a Roboda platform starts at RBK-E1; steel marking is the fibre head on the same machine. |
| Mild steel Not supported | Not supported by either head, for the same reasons as steel and one more each. Milling: hot-rolled mild steel carries abrasive mill scale that a carbide cutter can only get under with a deep first pass, which is exactly what a 150 N machine cannot take. Lasering: the scale glows convincingly under a blue beam and gives the impression of marking, but it is the scale heating and it wipes off. Neither is a capability and neither is published as one. |
