How to choose a laser engraving machine?






    There are many laser engraving machines on the market, and there are many manufacturers of laser engraving machines. There are machines imported from the whole machine. There are domestically designed and produced machines. There are imported parts assembled in China. There are professional engraving machines and professional The standard machine, there are professional cutting machines, there are also machines with more than two functions, then how to buy?


1) What kind of material should be engraved: According to the difference of laser generation, laser engraving machine can be roughly divided into YAG and CO2. The former is mainly for the application of metal products, while the latter is mainly for non-metal, currently on the market. The laser equipment is mostly in the future.


2) Product content to be processed: Laser equipment can be roughly divided into three types of engraving, cutting and marking in different ways of use. Basically, some are special machines, and some are various functions, which should be selected according to the main needs.


3) The size of the product to be processed: that is, the choice of the size of the laser engraving machine, but it is not necessarily good to note that the size of the machine is large, because large-format equipment is of course expensive, and some poor quality machines are large. The average laser output at each point on the web is unstable, resulting in different depths of engraving products on the same surface, so choosing the most appropriate format is correct.


4) Laser tube power: According to the material and content of the engraving. The appropriate laser tube wattage should be selected. For example, the engraving of acrylic and two-color board does not require much laser tube power, but for example, wood and stone. Engraving and cutting of any material may require a higher power laser tube to achieve twice the result with half the effort.


5) Speed: Produce more products at a faster speed in a short period of time to create higher profits, so the speed is often the key to whether you can receive orders and whether to make money, the speed of American Epilog laser equipment Up to 304.8cm / sec, the lowest speed is also 203.2cm / sec, compared to the market's general product only 106cm / sec.
6) Accuracy: The biggest difference between laser engraving and traditional engraving equipment and hand engraving is high precision. At present, only the United States Epilog laser equipment reaches 1200 dpi, and other imported brands and a few domestic products can reach 1000 dpi. The accuracy of some domestically produced equipment is still Very low.


7) After-sales maintenance service: After-sales maintenance service of machinery and equipment is very important, but people often fall into a myth of mistakes. Everyone always thinks that domestically produced machines are made in China, so parts are quickly and conveniently, and high-quality imported machines are not known. The equipment is not easily damaged, so there is no need for frequent maintenance. On the contrary, the machine with poor quality is often damaged because it is often damaged.
