IECHO ERK1, ERK2, and Dibond 45° are high-purity solid carbide (tungsten carbide) CNC engraving and forming tools tailored for the IECHO digital cutting machine. These tools, designed for the RZ high-speed end mill module, operate at remarkable speeds of 24,000 to 60,000 RPM. They excel in creating intricate cutouts, micro-diameter engravings, and bending grooves on materials like acrylic, two-tone panels, and aluminum composite panels, commonly used in advertising signs and architectural decorations.
Here are the detailed specifications and application guidelines for these three core consumables:
1. ERK1 / ERK2 Micro-diameter Precision Engraving Bits
These small-diameter spiral end mills, optimized for dynamic balance, are primarily used for surface engraving and precise material removal on high-precision graphics or very small text.
- Design structure: Features a micron-level precision grinding process for the cutting edge. The shank diameter is typically 3.175 mm (1/8") or 4.0 mm, with the tip having a slight taper or ultra-small radius (e.g., R0.1/R0.2).
- Process characteristics: Optimized for the high speed of the RZ module to suppress micro-vibrations during high-frequency rotation and prevent tool breakage under heavy load.
- Best application materials:
- High-precision path marking for illuminated advertising letter back panels and small sign panels.
- Fine engraving of text and patterns on two-color boards, ABS signboards, and small plastic molds.
2. Dibond 45° Aluminum Composite Panel Forming and Bending V-groove Cutting Tool (Router Bits)
This tool is designed to mill a V-shaped groove at a 45° angle on the back of composite boards, facilitating subsequent three-dimensional shaping.
- Design structure: Comes with a standard 6.0 mm shank diameter and a cutting edge precisely tapered at a 45° angle. Some advanced models have a 2mm-3mm flat bottom cutting surface at the tip to ensure a smooth bending point and prevent cracking.
- Process Characteristics (Depth-Controlled Bending): Tailored for Dibond's three-layer sandwich structure of "single-sided aluminum skin + plastic core layer + single-sided aluminum skin". It cuts through the first aluminum skin and part of the plastic core layer with precise Z-axis depth control, avoiding damage to the bottom aluminum layer.
- Best application scenarios:
- Post-grooving, operators can bend the aluminum composite panel into a 90-degree form using only their hands, without additional tools like a bending machine.
- Widely utilized in producing 3D advertising light boxes, exhibition booth frames, exhibition board edging, and decorative cladding for building exterior columns.
