How to choose a suitable laser marking machine

Mar 28, 2023

Working principle of laser marking machine


The laser marking machine uses a high-density laser beam to irradiate the workpiece. The surface of the workpiece absorbs laser energy, which causes the surface of the material to undergo metamorphosis, melting, ablation, evaporation, etc., and then forms a permanent mark. Today's laser marking machines have been widely used in various industries, playing the role of anti-counterfeiting, traceability, exquisite appearance and so on.

 

Price difference of laser marking machine


Why can the price difference of laser marking machines in the market be so large? It is acceptable if the price difference is within 10,000, but often we learn that there is a price difference of 50,000, which is incredible. Many customers are puzzled by this. Let's analyze the reasons for the price difference and discuss how to choose a suitable laser marking machine.
Reasons for price differences analysis reference:
● First of all, there are differences in equipment, including weight, structure, workmanship, technology, and inspection. Equipment and machine tools reflect temperament and rich manufacturing experience.
● Secondly, there are differences in the hardware composition of each part, including lasers, marking heads, operating systems, four parts, motors, cylinders, guide rails, etc.
● The third is the difference in software support, including systems such as circuits, recording, lubrication and cooling.
● The fourth is whether the integrated technology is mature, which is reflected in the marking accuracy, equipment stability and durability.
● Fifth, whether the after-sales service system is perfect or not is reflected in the timeliness and accuracy of dealing with problems, the level of after-sales costs, and the reasonableness of charges.
● Sixth, brand premium, including enterprise promotion, factory scale, personnel expenditure and other expenses.

 

How to choose a suitable laser marking machine?


Workpiece material to be marked


Fiber laser marking machine is suitable for marking various metal materials and some non-metal materials in the processing field with high requirements for marking depth, smoothness and precision. Such as electronic components industry, medical equipment industry, glasses, watches and clocks, IC card industry, jewelry industry, plastic tool industry, kitchen and bathroom appliances;
Craft gifts, plexiglass, clothing leather, wood paper, food packaging, electronic components, PCB, flexible circuit boards, ceramic substrates, semiconductors, crystal glass, plastic connectors, silicone rubber keys, SMD components and other non-metallic Use CO2 laser marking machine to mark the text on the material;
If it is high-end electronic product appearance LOGO logo, food and beverage packaging, PVC pipe, pharmaceutical packaging, cable wire (HDPE, PO, PP, etc.) material marking, PCB\FPC two-dimensional code marking, shielding cover, steel sheet, etc., use UV laser marking machine.
Of course, it does not mean that one material is only suitable for one type of laser source, and the same material can use multiple laser sources, which should be selected according to the fineness of processing.

 

Marking machine power


Laser power is sometimes the key to determining the speed and effect. Generally speaking, for UV engraving paper, film, and plastic, it can be marked with a low power of 1.2W, but engraving glass requires a UV power of 3W, or even 5W. It can be moved; another example is to use 20W of optical fiber like hardware, but if you pursue high efficiency and high speed, you need 30W or higher power to achieve it.

 

The main hardware structure of the marking machine


The main hardware structure of laser marking machine includes laser, laser scanning galvanometer, focusing system, laser power supply and calculation notification system. You only need to choose whether to import or domestic according to your processing needs, especially for high precision Requirements, to explain clearly with the manufacturer.
