Tips for choosing a laser engraving machine for you



    There are many kinds of laser engraving machine products on the market. 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, professional marking machines and professional cutting. Machines, there are also machines with more than two functions, so how to buy them? The following points may be used to help you think:

    1) What material to engrave on

    According to the difference of laser generation, the laser engraving machine can be roughly divided into two types: YAG and CO2. The former is mainly for the application of metal products, while the latter is mainly for non-metal. Currently, the laser equipment on the market is mostly.

    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) Product size to be processed

    That is, the choice of the size of the laser engraving machine, but pay attention to the large size of the machine is not necessarily good, because large-format equipment is of course more expensive, and some of the poor quality of the equipment in the large-scale surface of the laser output average The degree of instability makes the engraving products of the same table different in depth, so it is correct to choose the most appropriate format.

    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 carving and cutting of any material. It may take a higher power laser tube to get twice the result with half the effort.

    5) Speed

    Producing more products at a faster rate in a short period of time can create higher profits, so the speed is often the key to whether you can receive orders and make money. The speed of American Epilog laser equipment is up to 304.8cm. / sec, the lowest speed is also 203.2cm / sec, compared to the market's general product is 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 1200dpi, and other imported brands and a few domestic products can reach 1000dpi. The accuracy of some domestic equipment is still very low.

    7) After-sales service

    The 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 the parts are quickly and conveniently. It is not known that imported machinery and equipment of good quality are not easily damaged. Therefore, there is no need for frequent maintenance. On the contrary, machines with poor quality are often damaged because they are often damaged.
