Choose CO2 laser marking machine or fiber laser marking machine?

Jul. 22, 2020

Regarding co2 laser marking machine and fiber laser marking machine, which is better? First of all, this should be determined according to the materials and customer needs. Some materials are suitable for CO2 carbon dioxide laser marking machines, some materials are suitable for fiber laser marking machines, and some are general-purpose laser marking machines. Although the application range of fiber laser marking machine is wide, the materials used for co2 laser marking machine are not necessarily suitable for fiber laser marking machine, and each has its advantages and disadvantages.


        What are the differences between CO2 laser marking machine and fiber laser marking machine?


        The carbon dioxide laser marking machine is mainly for marking non-metallic materials, such as plastic, glass, etc., but after a period of use, it needs to be filled (carbon dioxide). The fiber laser marking machine can mark metal and non-metal materials. Simply put, it combines the functions of a carbon dioxide laser marking machine and a semiconductor laser marking machine, and the speed is more than 3 times that of a semiconductor, and there is no need to change parts for 100,000 hours. , High-power, high-brightness, high-precision, is currently more advanced laser marking equipment.

Performance characteristics of CO2 laser marking machine:


        1. The marking accuracy is high, the speed is fast, and the engraving depth can be controlled at will;


        2. The laser power is large and can be used for engraving and cutting a variety of non-metal products;


        3. No consumables, low processing cost, laser operating life up to 20,000 to 30,000 hours;


        4. Clear marking, not easy to wear, fast engraving and cutting efficiency, environmental protection and energy saving;


        5. Use the 10.64nm laser beam to expand, focus, and finally control the deflection of the galvanometer;


        6. Act on the work surface according to the predetermined trajectory to vaporize the work surface to achieve the marking effect;


        7. Good beam pattern, stable system performance, low maintenance, suitable for industrial processing sites with large batches, multiple varieties, high speed and high precision continuous production;


        8. The most advanced optical path optimization design and unique graphics path optimization technology, coupled with the unique super pulse function of the laser, make the cutting speed faster.

Industry application and applicable materials of CO2 laser marking machine:


       Suitable for paper, leather, cloth, plexiglass, epoxy resin, woolen products, plastics, ceramics, crystal, jade, bamboo and wood products. It is widely used in all kinds of consumer goods, food packaging, beverage packaging, pharmaceutical packaging, architectural ceramics, clothing accessories, leather, textile cutting, craft gifts, rubber products, shell brands, denim, furniture and other industries.


Performance of fiber laser marking machine:


      1. The marking software is very powerful, compatible with application software such as Coreldraw, AutoCAD, Photoshop, etc.; supports PLT, PCX, DXF, BMP, etc., and can use SHX and TTF fonts; supports automatic encoding, printing serial numbers, batch numbers, dates, bar codes , QR code, automatic number skipping, etc.;


      2. Adopt an integrated structure, equipped with an automatic focusing system, and the operation process is humanized;


      3. Use the original imported isolator to protect the fiber laser window, increase the stability and laser life;


      4. No maintenance required, long service life, small size, suitable for working in harsh environments;


      5. The processing speed is fast, 2-3 times of the traditional marking machine;


      6. The electro-optical conversion rate is high, the power consumption of the whole machine is less than 500W, which is 1/10 of the lamp pumped solid laser marking machine, which greatly saves energy consumption;


      7. The beam quality is much better than the traditional solid laser marking machine. It is the basic mode, TEM00, and the output focused spot diameter is less than 20um. The divergence angle is 1/4 of the semiconductor pump laser. Especially suitable for fine and close marking.


Applicable materials used in fiber laser marking machine industry:



       Metal and various non-metal materials, high-hardness alloys, oxides, electroplating, coating, ABS, epoxy resin, ink, engineering plastics, etc. Widely used in plastic translucent buttons, ic chips, digital product components, compact machinery, jewelry, sanitary ware, measuring tools, clocks and glasses, electrical appliances, electronic components, hardware accessories, hardware tools, mobile phone communication components, automobile and motorcycle accessories, Plastic products, medical equipment, building materials, pipes and other industries.
