What's the difference between a laser marking machine and a laser engraving machine? The so-called laser marking machine refers to the equipment that uses laser beams to make permanent marks on the surfaces of various substances. Laser engraving machine is an advanced equipment that uses laser to engrave materials that need engraving. The same function of laser marking machine and laser engraving machine is laser processing, and both belong to advertising equipment. Laser marking machine can be used not only in advertising industry, but also in various packaging industries. Laser engraving machine can be used not only in advertising industry, but also in various decoration and automobile industries. Today we will specifically talk about "the difference between a laser marking machine and a laser engraving machine".

What's the difference between a laser marking machine and a laser engraving machine?

1, the difference between laser marking machine and laser engraving machine: different working formats.

The working width of the laser marking machine is not particularly large, and it is as large as an ordinary desk.

Some low-power laser engraving machines are not big, but some high-power laser engraving machines are mainly used for cutting metal, and the processing width is very large, at least as big as a bed.

2, the difference between laser marking machine and laser engraving machine 2: speed difference.

The speed of laser marking machine is much faster than that of laser engraving machine. Like mineral water manufacturers, they need an assembly line of 1 minute, which is about 100 meters.

3. The difference between laser marking machine and laser engraving machine: the depth is different.

Laser engraving machine can engrave and cut with large stroke size, and its depth far exceeds that of laser marking machine.

4. The difference between laser marking machine and laser engraving machine 4: The laser is different.

The optical path system of laser engraving machine consists of three mirrors and a focusing mirror. The laser is usually a carbon dioxide glass tube. The service life of glass tube laser is generally within 2000- 10000 hours. Carbon dioxide glass tube lasers are all disposable. The lasers of laser marking machine are generally metal tube laser (nonmetal marking machine) and YAG solid-state laser (metal laser marking machine), and their service life is generally more than five years. The metal tube of the laser marking machine can be inflated again for use.

5, the difference between laser marking machine and laser engraving machine 5: the price is different.

Because of different materials, the price of laser marking machine is different, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. Non-metallic laser engraving and cutting machine, the price of low power is much cheaper than laser marking machine. But laser engraving machines for cutting thick metals are also expensive.

Application of laser marking machine and laser engraving machine?

1, laser marking machine application:

(1) Suitable for all kinds of metals: the symbol of electronic hardware accessories industry. Many people may not understand that some hardware fittings and electronic components will be marked by laser marking machine. For vehicles, ships, machinery, equipment and other materials with high friction, laser marking can be wear-resistant, which is helpful for marking in the industry.

(2) Used in IT industry, communication industry, machinery manufacturing industry, food and medicine, medical equipment, watches and glasses, craft gifts, precious metal jewelry, leather clothing, packaging and printing cookers, precision hardware, ornaments, electrical appliances, instruments and other metal processing industries.

(3) It is applied to polymer materials, electronic components, wire speed limit, reflective film, plastic keys, sapphire, glass, ceramic tiles, aluminum plates, signs and other metal materials. For the cold-working purple laser marking machine, these are his specialties, which are aimed at industries such as electronic communication, electrical engineering, instrumentation, precision hardware, watches and glasses, jewelry, ceramics and so on.

(4) Marking can be realized for non-metal processing industries such as clothing, leather, craft gifts, packaging, advertising, wood, textiles, plastics, signs, electronic communication, watches, glasses, printing, decoration, etc. Wood products, cloth, leather, plexiglass, epoxy resin, acrylic acid, unsaturated resin and other non-metallic materials have good results.

(5) At present, the application in food industry mainly refers to the use of laser to make various information marks on the surface of food, such as patterns and two-dimensional codes. It has the advantages of no consumables, finer and clearer printing effect, higher resolution, low failure rate, cleanliness and no pollution.

(6) Direct packaging industry. We all know that the laser marking machine, that is, the laser inkjet printer, marks and identifies the materials in food and beverage packaging, wine bottle cap and cigarette case packaging, and medicine box/bottle packaging ... No matter what the materials are, it is necessary to mark the products with the laser marking machine, that is, the production date, batch number and QR code of the products have a clear sense of science and technology in the materials.

2, the application of laser engraving machine:

(1) Plaques, signboards and signs are changing with each passing day. The construction of urban public facilities and the renovation of streets, modern residential quarters, hotels and office buildings have generated a great demand for signs and guidance systems that meet international standards, among which carved plaques, signs and signs account for a considerable part. In order to establish a good corporate image and improve internal management, powerful enterprises have also adopted the company's

(2) Building model, mechanical model, vehicle model and ship model are the oldest design tools, and modern society has endowed models with more novel meanings and wider applications. It is no exaggeration to say that this model is an industrial model. The performance and display of machinery, vehicles, ships, architectural design schemes and commercial housing sales can not be separated from the model, which itself has independent activities and significance such as competition, commemoration and collection. At present, the engraving machine that makes the model more exquisite and quick has become the best helper for making models in all walks of life.

(3) Arts and crafts, gifts and souvenirs More and more medals, certificates, souvenirs and advertising materials in conferences and tourism activities are made by carving. Carving on pens, leather goods, tableware, lighters, watches, bottle openers, key chains, trophies, award plates, crystal ornaments, golf clubs, shotguns, rings and other items can reflect taste and personality. Interesting carving on bookmarks, powder boxes, pendants, photo frames, silverware and other items caters to the needs of people's emotional communication.

(4) China's industrial processing building materials output ranks first in the world, and it is developing rapidly in the direction of improving quality and variety. The engraving machine can conveniently and quickly produce a large number of exquisite molds of gypsum ceilings, tiles, floor tiles and other building decorative materials, and the value of decorative materials processed with this mold doubles. In developed countries, marking the surface of parts, making instruments and meters, and making all kinds of signs, identification cards, work cards and production flow charts necessary for standardized management of enterprises are mostly done by engraving machines. According to foreign investigation and statistics, in Germany, Switzerland and other developed industrial countries in western Europe, two-thirds of engraving machines are used as machine tools in factories. China is becoming a "world factory", and I believe that carving opportunities will enter one workshop after another vigorously in China.

(5) plexiglass technology and plexiglass processing: plexiglass is one of the most ideal carving materials. No matter which of the five processing methods of engraving machine, such as cutting, milling, carving, engraving and drilling, plexiglass has excellent machinability, and it has always been a testing instrument, model, POP advertising ornaments, trinkets, artistic lamps and handicrafts.
