Plotters in the cnc machinery industry have come to be known as milling plotters, which are machines designed primarily for milling, usually with an open, gantry design, and CO2 laser plotters, which also have a gantry design, but are usually built in for safety reasons. Cutting and burning machines also have a gantry design as standard. This is a matter of accepted nomenclature in the industry.
Cutting machine and burning machine are two different types of equipment, usually used in the context of material processing, but have different functions and applications. Cutting machines are used in cases where the main task is accurate cutting. Cutting machines are more versatile and can be used for a variety of applications in cutting and decorating different materials. They use a laser beam to separate or vaporize the material to produce the desired shapes.
