With the development of laser technology, the types and performance of laser equipment are continuously improved and enhanced. Common laser equipment include laser engraving machines and laser marking machines. There are some differences between the two in the printing medium, the price of the product, the scope of use, and the function of the product.
So what is the difference between laser marking machine and laser engraving machine?
One, the definition of different:
Laser engraving machine is the use of laser on the need to engrave the material engraving technology equipment. Laser engraving machine can also be called laser cutting machine, laser engraving machine, etc., the laser shot to wood products, Yak grain, plastic plates, metal plates, stone and almost all the materials above.
Laser marking machine is is to use the laser beam to make the evaporation of the surface material to reveal the deep material, resulting in chemical changes in the surface material physical changes and engraved traces, or by light energy to burn off part of the material, showing the desired etched graphics, text.
Second, the application of different materials:
Laser engraving machine is generally carved or cut non-metallic materials, such as: marble, wood panels, crystal, acrylic, etc..Laser marking machine because it does not require deep carving, just by marking the logo, name to achieve identification, most of the metal and non-metal class materials can basically be marked. Use to rarely cut.
Third, the depth and speed are different:
Laser engraving machine can be engraved in a large stroke size, but also cutting, the depth of far more than laser marking machine. Laser marking machine speed is faster, beyond the laser has done online marking of beverage bottle caps 2D code assembly line, a minute speed of 200 +.
Fourth, the price is not the same:
Laser marking machine price varies depending on the material selected for the corresponding models, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. And non-metal laser engraving and cutting machine, the price of small power is relatively laser marking machine is much cheaper.
