Is there a difference between a laser engraving machine and a laser marking machine? I've only seen cutting machines.

What's the difference between a laser marking machine and a laser engraving machine?

What's the difference between a laser marking machine and a laser engraving machine? The so-called laser marking machine refers to the equipment that uses laser beams to make permanent marks on the surfaces of various substances. Laser engraving machine is an advanced equipment that uses laser to engrave materials that need engraving. The same characteristics of laser marking machine and laser engraving machine are all processed by laser and belong to advertising equipment. Laser marking machine can be used not only in advertising industry, but also in various packaging industries. Laser engraving machine can be used not only in advertising industry, but also in various decoration and automobile industries. Today, we will talk about "the difference between laser marking machine and laser engraving machine".

What's the difference between a laser marking machine and a laser engraving machine?

1, the difference between laser marking machine and laser engraving machine: different working formats.

The working width of the laser marking machine is not particularly large, and it is as large as an ordinary desk.

Some low-power laser engraving machines are not big, but some high-power laser engraving machines are mainly used for cutting metal, and the processing width is very large, at least as big as a bed.

2. The difference between laser marking machine and laser engraving machine: speed difference.

The speed of laser marking machine is much faster than that of laser engraving machine. Like mineral water manufacturers, the assembly line that needs 1 minute is about 100 meters.

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

The laser engraving machine can carve and cut with a long stroke, and its depth is far more than that of the laser marking machine.

4. Difference between laser marking machine and laser engraving machine 4: Different lasers.

The optical path system of laser engraving machine consists of three mirrors and a focusing mirror. The laser is usually a carbon dioxide glass tube. The service life of glass tube laser is generally within 2000- 10000 hours. Carbon dioxide glass tube lasers are all disposable. The lasers of laser marking machine are generally metal tube laser (nonmetal marking machine) and YAG solid-state laser (metal laser marking machine), and their service life is generally more than five years. The metal tube of the laser marking machine can be inflated again for use.

5, the difference between laser marking machine and laser engraving machine 5: the price is different.

The price of laser marking machine varies with different materials, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. Non-metallic laser engraving and cutting machine, low price and much cheaper power than laser marking machine. But the laser engraving machine for cutting thick metal is also expensive.

Application of laser marking machine and laser engraving machine?

1, laser marking machine application:

(1) Suitable for all kinds of metals: the symbol of electronic hardware accessories industry. Many people may not understand that some hardware accessories and electronic components will be marked by laser marking machine. For automobiles, ships, machinery, equipment and other materials with more friction, laser marking can be wear-resistant and helpful for marking the industry.

(2) Used in IT industry, communication industry, machinery manufacturing industry, food and medicine, medical equipment, watches and glasses, craft gifts, precious metal jewelry, leather clothing, packaging and printing cookers, precision hardware, ornaments, electrical appliances, instruments and other metal processing industries.

(3) It is applied to polymer materials, electronic components, wire speed limit, reflective film, plastic keys, sapphire, glass, ceramic tiles, aluminum plates, signs and other metal materials. For the cold-working purple laser marking machine, these are his specialties, which are aimed at electronic communication, electrical engineering, instrumentation, precision hardware, watches and glasses, jewelry, ceramics and other industries.

(4) Clothing, leather, craft gifts, packaging, advertising, wood, textiles, plastics, signs, electronic communications, watches, glasses, printing, decoration and other non-metallic processing industries can realize marking. Non-metallic materials such as wood products, cloth, leather, plexiglass, epoxy resin, acrylic acid and unsaturated resin all have good effects.

(5) At present, the application in food industry mainly refers to the use of laser to make various information marks on the surface of food, such as patterns and two-dimensional codes. It has the advantages of no consumables, finer and clearer printing effect, higher resolution, low failure rate, cleanliness and no pollution.

(6) Direct packaging industry. We all know that laser marking machine, that is, laser inkjet printer, is a kind of food and beverage packaging, wine bottle cap cigarette box packaging, medical box/bottle packaging, which is used to mark and identify materials ... No matter what materials, products need to be marked by laser marking machine, that is, production date, batch number, QR code and so on.

2, the application of laser engraving machine:

(1) Plaques, signboards and signs change with each passing day. The construction of urban public facilities, the renovation of streets, modern residential quarters, hotels and office buildings have produced a large demand for signs and guidance systems that meet international standards, among which carved plaques, signs and signs account for a considerable part. In order to establish a good corporate image and improve internal management, powerful enterprises have also adopted the company's

(2) Building model, mechanical model, vehicle model and ship model are the oldest design tools, and modern society has endowed models with more novel meanings and wider applications. It is no exaggeration to say that this model is an industrial model. The performance and display of machinery, vehicles, ships, architectural design schemes and commercial housing transactions are all inseparable from the model, which itself has independent activities and significance such as competition, commemoration and collection. At present, the engraving machine that makes the model more exquisite and fast has become the best helper for making models in all walks of life.

(3) Crafts, gifts and souvenirs More and more medals, certificates, souvenirs and advertising materials in conferences and tourism activities are made by carving. Carving on pens, leather goods, tableware, lighters, watches, bottle openers, key chains, trophies, award plates, imitation crystal ornaments, golf clubs, shotguns, rings and other items can reflect taste and personality. Interesting carving on bookmarks, powder boxes, pendants, photo frames, silverware and other items caters to people's needs for emotional communication.

(4) China's industrial processing building materials output ranks first in the world, and it is developing rapidly in the direction of improving quality and variety. The engraving machine can conveniently and quickly produce a large number of exquisite molds of gypsum ceilings, tiles, floor tiles and other building decoration materials, thus doubling the value of decorative materials products processed by the mold. In developed countries, marking the surface of parts, making instruments and meters, and making all kinds of signs, identification cards, work cards and production flow charts necessary for standardized management of enterprises are mostly done by engraving machines. According to foreign investigation and statistics, in Germany, Switzerland and other developed industrial countries in western Europe, two-thirds of engraving machines are used as machine tools in factories. China is becoming a "world factory", and it is believed that engraving machines will vigorously enter one workshop after another in China.

(5) plexiglass technology and plexiglass processing: plexiglass is one of the most ideal carving materials. No matter which of the five processing methods of cutting, milling, carving, carving and drilling machines, plexiglass has excellent machinability, and it has always been a testing instrument, model, popular advertising decorations, trinkets, artistic lamps and handicrafts.
