What is the difference between laser marking machines and laser engraving machines?

2023-12-21

Laser marking machine refers to a machine equipment that uses laser to permanently mark the surface of various different chemical substances. Laser engraving machine refers to a technical equipment that uses lasers to manually carve raw materials that must be manually carved. The common characteristics of laser marking machine and laser engraving machine are all processed by laser cutting, and they all belong to advertising equipment. Laser marking machines are not only suitable for the advertising industry, but also for various packaging fields. Laser engraving machines are not only suitable for the advertising industry, but also for various decoration and automotive manufacturing industries. Next, let me explain the difference between laser marking machines and laser engraving machines.



1. The difference between laser marking machines and laser engraving machines is that the width during operation is different.

The width of the laser marking machine is not very large, which is only the size of a typical office desk. The production and processing width of laser engraving machines is relatively large, because some high-power laser engraving machines are mainly used for laser cutting of metal materials. Of course, there are also some laser engraving machines with small output power that produce processing widths that are not large, but overall, laser engraving machines have a larger working width than laser marking machines.

2. The second difference between laser marking machines and laser engraving machines is the difference in speed.

The speed of laser marking machines is much faster than that of laser engraving machines. For manufacturers of pure water, the production line that runs in one minute is about 100 meters up and down.

3. The difference between laser marking machines and laser engraving machines is three: the depth is different.

Laser engraving machines can manually carve specifications on large journeys, and can also laser cut deep beyond laser marking machines.

4. The difference between laser marking machines and laser engraving machines is that the laser generator is different.

The laser path system software of the laser engraving machine consists entirely of three rearview lenses and one spotlight, and the laser generator is usually a carbon dioxide glass test tube. The service life of glass tube laser generators is generally within 2000-10000 hours. Carbon dioxide glass test tube laser generators are all disposable. The laser generators of laser marking machines are generally metal hose laser generators (non-metal marking machines) and YAG fiber lasers (metal material laser marking machines), with a service life of generally over five years. The metal hose of the laser marking machine can be re inflated for application.

5. Differences in prices between laser marking machines and laser engraving machines

Different configurations, such as different lasers and different powers, will have different final prices. Generally speaking, laser engraving machines have deeper carving depth and higher power. But generally, laser marking machines have shallow printing depth and lower laser power. For non-metallic laser engraving and cutting machines, low-power ones are much cheaper than laser marking machines, but high-power laser engraving machines are more expensive.
