Carbon Dioxide Laser Marking Machine|CO2 Laser Engraving Machines in Non-Metal Applications
The CO2 laser marker, with its high precision and non-contact characteristics, has made a big splash in the non-metallic materials processing field.Whether the material is acrylic, wood, leather or plastic, a clear and lasting mark can be made by adjusting the power and speed.The book combines practical applications with explanations of equipment operation, material selection, and common troubleshooting methods, to help users quickly master the core points of laser engraving of non-metallic materials.
CO2 laser marking machines are non-contact processing equipment that have been widely used in recent years in packaging, arts and crafts, and electronics industries.Its 10600nm wavelength is particularly suited to processing non-metallic materials. When carving patterns on bamboo, for example, a precision of 0.1mm is able to perfectly reproduce the details of traditional handicrafts. When printing the production date on PET bottles, it is more environmentally friendly than printing with ink, and the date will never come off.
In practice, you need to take into account the different characteristics of the materials. Acrylic is suitable for low speed, high power carving to give a frosted effect. Leather, on the other hand, requires a lower power setting to avoid carbonizing.The results of on-site testing showed that using the layer-by-layer technique allowed precise control of the depth of penetration, so that the underlying material was not damaged.For materials with a high degree of reflectivity (such as coated glass), a special marking coating can be applied in advance to significantly enhance contrast.
In terms of maintenance, regular cleaning of the lenses and alignment of the light path can keep the equipment stable.In one example, a toy factory was able to use a database of material parameters to set the labeling speed for different thicknesses of PVC between 800 and 1200 mm / s, which reduced the error rate from 15 % to less than 3 %.As demand for customization grows, mastering these techniques will help users get the most out of their equipment.
How to choose the right CO2 laser marking machine parameters
Selecting the proper parameters for a CO2 laser marking machine directly affects the processing effect and efficiency.It can help you quickly master the skills of regulating parameters from the perspectives of material characteristics, laser power, and marking speed, thereby solving common problems such as unclear markings and low efficiency.
