The difference between laser marking machine and laser engraving machine1

With the development of laser technology, the types and performance of laser equipment are constantly improving and improving. Common laser equipment includes laser engraving machine and laser marking machine. 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's the difference between a laser marking machine and a laser engraving machine?

First, the definitions are different:

The laser engraving machine is a technological equipment that uses a laser to engrave the materials that need to be engraved. Laser engraving machines can also be called laser cutting machines, laser engraving machines, etc., which shoot lasers on almost all materials such as wood products, acrylic grains, plastic plates, metal plates, and stone. Divided into: metal laser cutting machine and non-metal laser cutting machine.

The laser marking machine uses a laser beam to evaporate the surface material to expose the deep material, resulting in the chemical change of the surface material and the physical change to engrave traces, or to burn off part of the material through light energy, showing Graphics and text to be etched.

Second, the application materials are different:

Laser engraving machines generally engrave or cut non-metallic materials , such as: marble, wood, crystal, acrylic, leather, plastic products, etc. Also become a non-metal laser cutting machine.

Because the laser marking machine does not need deep engraving, it only realizes the marking by marking the logo and name. Most of the metal and non-metallic materials can basically be marked. Use very little cutting. The current popular ones used on metals are: fiber laser marking machines, which can be used on all metal products and most non-metals; the ones used on non-metals are co2 laser marking machines, such as: wood, transparent acrylic, glass Etc

Third, the depth and speed are different:

The laser engraving machine can engrave in large stroke size, and can also cut, the depth is far more than that of the laser marking machine. The speed of the laser marking machine is relatively fast. The laser cij printer and the two-dimensional code assembly line of the beverage bottle cap are marked online, and the speed can reach 200+ per minute.

Fourth, the prices are not the same:

The price of the laser marking machine varies from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands due to different materials. For non-metal laser engraving and cutting machines, the price of low power is much cheaper than that of laser marking machines. There are millions of metal laser cutting machines, millions of them. Today, with the rapid development of science and technology, laser marking machines and laser engraving machines are constantly improving and upgrading, and their practicability is getting stronger and stronger.

For the study, researchers defined Leadtech Coding as strategies to foster some social good, including programs that benefit community engagement, diversity, the environment, human rights and employee relations.
