Classification of laser engraving machine products products

Published by Voiern December 05,2023

Laser engraving machine products products can be divided into: carbon dioxide (CO2) type, galvanometer (GALVANOMETER) type and YAG type.

 

 

According to size, power and speed, laser engraving machine products products can be divided into many types, but for the gift industry, only carbon dioxide (CO2) and YAG type. The main difference between the carbon dioxide (CO2) type and the YAG type laser engraving machine products is different in the material used to generate the laser. The carbon dioxide (CO2) type generates laser light by exciting cation and dioxide mixed gas molecules, while the YAG type generates laser light by exciting yttrium aluminum garnet crystals or crystal rods. Different light sources emit different wavelengths of laser light, so each engraving machine is suitable for engraving different materials.

 

 

The flying type, also known as the flat-plate laser engraving machine products, is the most common in the gift industry, which is a flat-plate laser engraving machine products using a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser tube. Plate laser engraving machine products products also use YAG laser tubes, but few. For a flatbed laser engraver, the laser beam moves on the plate through a trolley that moves back and forth.

 

 

However, the galvanometer type also has shortcomings. It is small in size (usually 12x12 inches or 14x14 inches). If it is cut with a galvanometer, it is not cut straight, but has a certain curvature. When it is raised to 100 watts, the galvanometer type can have the same power as the flat laser engraving machine products, up to 100 watts, but at the same power, the galvanometer type has a great advantage in speed. The galvanometer type is mainly used for marking, not cutting. The company also sells galvanometer and flat CO2 laser engraving machine products products. In addition, the speed of the flat-plate laser engraving machine products is getting faster and faster, and the speed difference from the galvanometer type is getting smaller and smaller.

 

 

The reason for the widespread use of carbon dioxide (CO2) laser tubes is simple: his applications are extremely broad. Carbon dioxide (CO2) laser engraving machine products can engrave or mark plastic, acrylic, lacquered metal, glass, leather, paper, cloth, wood, marble, etc. It can also be used to cut many of these materials. The only thing that can't be carved is that there is no Plated metal

 

 

YAG lasers are divided into two main types, the main difference being that the YAG crystal is excited by a flash or by a diode. The main difference between the two is how to generate light to excite the crystal to form a laser beam. The diode laser machine produces a laser beam that is thinner and purer than a flash-type laser machine, and does not require a high-power power source like a flash. . "The key is that both produce lasers of the same wavelength." Diode YAG laser engraving machine products products are highly efficient, while flash-type laser engraving machine products products are relatively inexpensive. Both are more expensive than CO2 laser engraving machine products products.

 

 

The advantage of the YAG laser engraving machine products is that its wavelength is well absorbed by the metal and can be done well in device marking and other industrial applications. However, for the YAG laser engraving machine products, many materials cannot be engraved, while carbon dioxide (CO2) laser engraving machine products products can be used, such as wood, paper, cloth, glass and some gypsum. Mechanical engraving machine Speaking of the situation of so many laser engraving machine products products, it is necessary to mention the computerized mechanical engraving machine that has been used in the gift making industry very early. The mechanical engraving machine is still widely used in the gift making industry, although the YAG laser engraving machine products can Marking on metal, but to engrave deeper, you can only use mechanical engraving machine.

 

 

Because the inscriptions and patterns of the engraving machine can't be replaced, people always like traditional and classic things. This is the reason why mechanical engraving and its widespread existence. This is a natural psychology. When you see a sculpture, you always want to touch it.

 

 

No laser engraving machine products will have many restrictions on your business, and some businesses can only be done with mechanical engraving machines. Therefore, it is a good idea to have both mechanical engraving machines and laser engraving machine products products. They can complement each other.
