How to choose a suitable and affordable laser marking machine?

Jan 26 2022

Laser marking machines use laser beams to mark the surfaces of various substances. The effect of marking is to expose the deep material through the evaporation of the surface material, so as to engrave precise patterns, trademarks and characters. Laser marking machines are mainly divided into CO2 laser marking machines, semiconductor laser marking machines, and fiber laser marking machines. , YAG laser marking machine, at present laser marking machine is mainly used in some electronic components, integrated circuits, electrical appliances, manual communication, hardware products, tool accessories, precision instruments, glasses and clocks, auto parts, plastic buttons, building materials, PVC tubing. Fiber laser marking machines have been widely used in industrial applications. Most customers will consider many aspects when choosing to buy fiber laser marking machines. How to choose a suitable and reasonably priced laser marking machine for laser equipment?

The principles that should be followed in the purchase of laser marking machines:
Fiber laser marking technology has many characteristics. However, specific to whether a product is suitable for adopting this technology, the following principles should be followed:
1. It cannot be solved by other existing methods, but can only be solved by laser processing;
2. It can be solved by other existing processing methods, but if the laser processing method is used, the processing quality can be optimized and the production efficiency can be significantly increased
3. It is necessary to fully consider the matching links related to laser processing in the processing process;
4. Pay attention to the application of laser processing and conventional processing combined processing technology in order to make full use of their respective strengths;

Specific requirements when selecting lasers:
1. Good beam quality of laser output, including mode and mode stability;
2. Whether the output power of the laser is large enough (this is the key to the speed and effect), and whether the energy is stable (usually the stability is required to be 2%, and in some cases, 1% is required)
3. The laser should be able to work continuously in harsh industrial processing environments;
4. The laser itself should have good maintainability, with fault diagnosis and interlocking functions, and the downtime should be short;
5. The operation is simple and convenient, and the function of the control key is clear, which can refuse to accept illegal operations and protect the laser from damage. In addition, price is also a key factor to consider.
