Difference between laser marking and engraving machine-Dora
What is the difference between laser marking and engraving machine?
Laser marking machine uses a laser beam to make permanent marks on the surface of various materials. Laser engraving machine uses laser to engrave materials that need to be engraved. The common features is all processed by laser. And they all belong to advertising equipment. So today we talk about the difference between laser marking and engraving machine specifically.
The difference between laser marking and engraving machine
1. Working format
The working area of laser marking machine is not particularly large. Generally marking area is 100*100mm, 200*200mm, 300*300mm.
Low power laser engraving machines have a small processing area, but some high power laser engraving machines are mainly used to cut metal. The processing area is very large. Such as 900*600mm and 1300*900mm.
2. Speed difference.
The speed of laser marking machine is much faster than that of laser engraving machine.
3. Depth
The depth of laser engraving machine is far more than that of laser marking machine.
4. Laser
The laser of laser engraving machine is generally a carbon dioxide glass tube. The life of the glass tube laser is generally within 2000-10000 hours. Carbon dioxide glass tube lasers are all disposable.
The lasers of laser marking machines are generally metal tube lasers (non-metal marking machines) and pulsed fiber lasers (metal laser marking machines), and their service life is generally more than five years.
5. Price.
The price of laser marking machine is different due to different materials, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
For non-metal laser engraving and cutting machines, the low power price is cheaper. But laser engraving machines for cutting thick metals are also very expensive.
Application of laser marking and engraving machine
