The laser marking machine uses a high-density laser beam to directly shine on the workpiece. The surface layer of the workpiece digests and absorbs the kinetic energy of the laser, which causes the original surface layer to have problems such as metamorphosis, melting, ablation, and volatilization, resulting in many signs. The laser marking machine has already been used in various manufacturing industries, and has the functions of anti-counterfeiting, elegant appearance, and upgrading.
At present, the laser marking machine adds semiconductor material laser marking machine, co2 laser marking machine, fiber laser marking machine, etc. according to the laser source, and the actual effect of marking is different for people marking different materials. Semiconductor material and fiber laser marking machine is suitable for marking metal materials, plastics and other materials. co2 laser is mainly used for non-metallic materials, such as acrylic sheets, transparent plastics, porcelain, laminated glass, etc.
So how to choose a suitable laser marking machine? You just want you to grasp these points!
Laser source for marking machine. Look at the material you want to produce and process the workpiece. For raw materials such as hardware accessories, plastics, and stickers, use the wavelength-aligned fiber laser marking machine; bamboo, fabric, porcelain, acrylic board, cowhide and other raw materials use wavelength comparison Long co2 laser marking machine; if it is plastic film, fresh fruits, raw eggs, cartons, reinforced laminated glass and other heat-sensitive materials, use a moderate wavelength ultraviolet laser marking machine.
Perhaps it is not to say that one type of raw material is only suitable for one type of laser source. The same material can be used with multiple types of laser sources. It all depends on your detailed level of production and processing regulations.
The output power of the marking machine. Laser output power is sometimes important to determine the speed and actual effect. Normally, UV engraving paper, plastic film, plastics are replaced with low output power 1.3W marking, but engraving glass requires UV 3W, even 5W output The power can only be moved; for example, hardware accessories are usually converted by optical fiber 30W, but if the pursuit of perfect efficiency and high-speed operation, the output power of 40W or higher must be established.
The key hardware configuration structure of the laser marking machine, including the laser generator, laser scanner beam expander, focusing point system software, laser generator and its calculation notification system software, you only have to choose according to your production and processing needs Imports must still be made domestically, especially if there are high requirements for precision, you must make clear with the manufacturer.
There are also computer notification system software and computer notification system software. There are many kinds of mobile phone software used on laser marking machines, some are basic, some are developed by their own products, or basic mobile phone software is invested in product development again. To decide what software to use, you have to figure out whether there will be a need for program development.
I think the price varies with the needs of customers, so here is just a rough reference price, usually the price of fiber laser marking machine (30W-60W) ranges from 2800 $ -11500 $; co2 laser marking The price of the machine (12W-150W) ranges from 4200 $ -22500 $; the price of UV laser marking machine (1.3W-12W) ranges from 8500 $ -38500 $.
In addition, the precision, actual effect of engraving, speed and its mutual cooperation with automation technology, customized fixtures and other regulations during the application of laser cutting equipment should be clearly proposed to the manufacturer in advance, and determined during the whole process of sample testing and planning. , In order to prevent the purchase of a marking machine that does not comply with the customer’s application regulations and endanger customer experience.
Ultimately, what is considered is the life, reliability, portability, and after-sales maintenance service of the marking machine. Like life and reliability, it depends on how well the heat dissipation is done, whether well-known brands are large enough; portability depends on the appearance and model of the product.
