Fiber laser engraver have very wide application on metal and some non-metal material engraving. Metal material like stainless steel, mild steel, brass, aluminum. Non-metal material like ABS, PVC, Rubber and many color coated product.
fiber laser marking machine
When we want to buy fiber laser engraver, some suppliers recommend their machine to us directly. Even they don’t know our detail application and request. To be honest, really this is not a good supplier. They just want to sold their machine, not think about problems in our side.
In this case, how to select one suitable fiber laser engraver for ourselves?
Working size
Fiber laser engraver have three common working size, including 110*110mm ; 200*200mm; 300*300mm.
Additional there is some non-common working size like 50*50mm;70*70mm; 150*150mm; 175*175mm; 250*250mm.
Different working size have different focus length, it means large working size have longer focus length. The laser power strength will be weak heavily during transfer. so not all laser power could use all working size.
20w laser power, working size should less than 200*200mm, 110*110mm is the most common.
30w laser power, all working size are ok.
50w laser power, all working size are ok.
Engraving request
We have many different marking request for metal material, marking, deep engraving and gold&silver cutting.
20w laser power: marking
30w laser power: marking, deep engraving and gold&silver cutting
50w laser power; deep engraving and gold&silver cutting
50w fiber laser engraver is not common as its cost is much more higher than 20w and 30w. Usually we use it gold and silver cutting.
Also when we need do deep engraving or cutting, only 110*110mm working size or less is available.
Laser source
Laser source is heart of fiber laser marking machine. So we need pay more attention on laser power.
In China market, Germany IPG and China Raycus laser source is reliable and stable. As for other small brand, we don’t recommend you use it.
Examples
Jimmy have a gun shop in TX, he need to buy one fiber laser marking machine for gun marking. which machine is best?
Usually guns marking need do depth on the surface, so he can only use 110*110mm working size or less and 30w/50w laser power.
How to choose the suitable power and size of the fiber laser engraver,hope read all can help you know better.
When you choose the machine to use,you can better know how to do.
If you want to learn more details about fiber laser engraver, pls contact me directly.
In these years, with the decreasing price of fiber laser engraver and fast development of industrial technology, fiber laser machine has been a must for every customer.
Especially for now, more and more foreigners seek for agent cooperation with Chinese suppliers.
Cause Chinese machine is competitive price in the market and good quality as well.
So among so many suppliers in China who could provide fiber laser machine, which one should u choose?
How to find a good suppliers to expand the market?
Why should i choose XTLASER to cooperate?
This passage we will give u some useful suggestions for helping understanding.
Fiber laser engraver is very common in all kinds of fields now. Although fiber laser engraver is very easy on operation, people can learn it very fast. Still there is many operation details not easy to learn, especially for some green hand, many small mistake may happen when they use machine.
Below is some common operation mistake, operator can avoid it well just they know it.
Forget take away the lens cap
There is one plastic cap under lens when we delivery machine. Many people don’t know it after receive machine, then test it directly. In this case, everything runs well but no any laser light show, even no red point. Also the laser will damage the cap and protective film of lens. So the first step is take away the cap before use machine.
No marking when machine running
When operator use machine, everything runs well. There is laser output, but no marking. The biggest possibility is laser head not on correct focus. We know galvo head laser machine must be on focus then it can work normally. If it is not on focus, machine only have laser light output, but no mark.
For machine operation, we must find its correct focus first. Below is operation video of how to find focus.
Based operation of Ezcad software
Ezcad software is common application of fiber laser engraver, its operation is easy, you can find its based operation in below video.
Above just few common mistake when operation machine, there is many other detail need take care. if you want to know more details about operation, you can contact us and we will give your user manual.
If your company is in the manufacturing, electronics, or even medical sectors, sooner or later, you will require laser marking for your products and components. The best solution for this is fiber laser engraver machine. The non-contact fiber laser marking process is well-known among customers for the following reasons:
Durability
High-temperature resistance
Application to various materials
Use of nontoxic inks, solvents, and acids.
But simply understanding the advantages of fiber lasers is not enough. There are other factors that you need to consider.
Factors for Choosing a Fiber Laser Engraver Machine
The following are parameters you need to keep in mind when choosing a fiber laser engraver machine.
Beam Quality: Beam quality is an important parameter, as it affects the laser’s processing capability. The reasons for the importance of beam quality are simple:
A laser with better beam quality can remove material much faster, with better resolution, and improved quality.
Laser markers with high beam quality can produce a focused optical spot size down to 20 microns.
High beam quality lasers are particularly suited for scribing and cutting materials such as silicon, aluminum, and stainless steel.
Single or Multi-mode Lasers: There are two types of fiber lasers – single mode and multi-mode. Single mode fiber lasers deliver a narrow, high intensity beam that can be focused down to a spot size as small as 20 microns and are generated within a fiber core of less than 25 microns. This high intensity is ideal for cutting, micro machining, and fine laser marking applications. Multi-mode lasers (also called higher order mode), use fibers with core diameters greater than 25 microns. This results in a beam with a lower intensity and large spot size.Single mode lasers have the best beam quality, while multi-mode lasers allow for the processing of large components.
Mark Resolution
The type of fiber laser engraver machine you choose will determine its mark resolution capabilities. The machine should be able to achieve a sufficient mark size and quality. Fiber laser machines generally consist of 1064nm lasers, which provide resolutions up to 18 microns.
These three basic factors can help you make an informed decision when purchasing a fiber laser marking system for your company.
Of course, nearly all customers will pay more attention on price. In China market, we can find so many different price. After confirmed what kind of machine we need, then we need to choose the best supplier between thousands of supplier.
Next time we will talk how to choose suppliers of fiber laser engraver.
First of all,maybe you do not know about we XTLASER brand,there are many many customers feedback on internet,all is good feedback to our machine quality and service.
But as you said,there are many lower quality machine on the market,they use some lower parts copy parts on the machine,we are the honest factory,pls trust us.
So pls check as below:

Finally,For plug,you do not worry about that,cause we have many different countries customers,we ready the European,American,England,National plug for them.
Will set the suitable plug to your machine.Then you can use the machine successfully.
We talked what material can use fiber laser engraving machine to process in last post. and today let us see some more common laser engraving material.
mini cabinet fiber laser engraving machine
8. Nickel
Plating is the most commonly use of Nickel. It can be forged or used as the base metal for some parts, but it is too soft for industrial use. People use plating to protect these parts from corrosive elements. Care must be taken in order to prevent it from becoming pierced or damaged, which would expose the underlying metallic surface.
It is our experience that lower powered, faster pulsing lasers have the best results. Anneal or polish to protect the plating. The annealed marking will be black and the polished marking is typically white. In the rare case that the entire part is comprised of nickel, all marking techniques are appropriate.
9. Plastics and polymers
Plastics and polymers are the most expansive and variable materials that are marked with lasers. There are so many different chemical compositions that you cannot categorize them easily. So we recommend test marking to ensure the best results. However, natual delrin is white and does not mark at all with any laser. Even the most powerful laser marking system will not make a mark on this material.
The most common technique in plastic and polymer marking is color changing. This type of mark uses the energy of the laser beam to alter the molecular structure of the piece, then change the color of the substrate without damaging the surface. Some plastics and polymers can be lightly etched or engraved, but consistency is always a concern.
10. Rubber
Rubber is an ideal substrate for engraving or etching because it is soft and highly absorbent. However laser marking rubber does not offer contrast. Tires and handles are a few examples of rubber marking.
So many people use fiber laser engraving machine marking on rubber engraving. The only factors to consider are the speed and depth of the marking, as each laser series offers the same exact marking type. The more powerful the laser, the faster the engraving or etching process will be.
11. Semiconductor industry
Semiconductor industry use very wide range materials . You have ceramics, printed circuit boards, epoxy resins/molds, and silicon integrated circuits to name a few. The big key when marking on semiconductor substrates is precision accuracy and depth control. Accuracy is required to ensure proper placement and readability of markings that are commonly smaller than 1mm in size and read by vision systems. Depth control limits the amount of particulate dust and thermal transfer to protect sensitive electronics or components.
12. Silver and Gold
Precious metals like silver and gold are very soft. Silver is a tricky material to mark as it oxidizes and tarnishes easily. Gold can be very easy to mark, requiring little power to get a good, contrasting anneal.
Silver and gold is one of the most common material for fiber laser engraving machine. Also we need do machine details according to your request. Because of the value of these substrates, engraving and etching are not common. Annealing allows the surface oxidation to create contrast, removing only a negligible amount of material.
Next to aluminum, stainless steel is the most commonly laser marking material of fiber laser engraving machine. Virtually every industry use it. There are several types of steels, each with varying carbon content, hardness, and finishes. Part geometry and size also vary greatly, but all allow for a variety of marking techniques.
Stainless steel lends itself to every laser marking technique used today. Carbon migration or annealing is rather simple and black anneals can be achieved with low or high wattage. Etching and engraving are also easy, because the steel is absorbent and is good enough at thermal transfer to help mitigate damage. Polish marking is possible, too, but it’s a rare choice because most applications require contrast.
14. Titanium
This lightweight super alloy is used heavily in medical and aerospace applications because of its strength, durability and limited mass. This industries carry heavy liability and need to ensure that the marking is safe and non-damaging. Aerospace applications require heavy fatigue testing to ensure no structural damage is incurred. Not all lasers are capable of performing such markings. For the medical industry, most titanium parts are actually placed inside of the human body permanently, or for surgical tools which will be used inside of the human body. Because of this, markings must be sterile and durable. Also fiber laser engraving machine need FDA approve to ensure that they are truly inert and safe for their intended use.
Titanium lends itself to all marking techniques but the best laser and technique depend on the application. The aerospace industry uses annealing to limit structural damage. Medical instruments are annealed, etched or engraved depending on the intended lifecycle and use of the implement.
