The so-called laser marking machine refers to equipment that uses laser beams to permanently mark the surface of various materials. Laser engraving machine refers to an advanced equipment that uses laser to engrave the material that needs to be engraved. The common features of laser marking machines and laser engraving machines are all processed by laser, and they all belong to advertising equipment. Laser marking machines can be used not only in the advertising industry, but also in various packaging industries. Laser engraving machines can be used not only in the advertising industry, but also in various decorations, automobile industries, etc. Today we specifically talk about “the difference between a laser marking machine and a laser engraving machine”.
1. The working format is different.
The working area of the laser marking machine is not particularly large, only as large as an ordinary desk.
Some low-power laser engraving machines have a small processing area, but some high-power laser engraving machines are mainly used to cut metal, and the processing area is very large, at least as big as a bed.
2. Speed difference.
The speed of laser marking machines is much faster than that of laser engraving machines. For mineral water manufacturers, the assembly line runs about 100 meters in one minute.
3. The depth is different.
The laser engraving machine can engrave and cut in a large stroke size, and the depth is far more than that of the laser marking machine.
4. Different lasers.
The optical path system of the laser engraving machine is composed of three reflective lenses and a focusing lens. The laser is generally a carbon dioxide glass tube. The service life of the glass tube laser is generally within 2000-10000 hours. Carbon dioxide glass tube lasers are disposable. The lasers of laser marking machines are generally metal tube lasers (non-metal marking machines) and YAG solid-state lasers (metal laser marking machines), and the service life is generally more than five years. The laser marking machine metal tube can be inflated again for use.
5. The prices are different.
The price of laser marking machine varies from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands depending on the corresponding models selected for different materials. For non-metallic laser engraving and cutting machines, the price of low power is much cheaper than that of laser marking machines. But laser engravers for cutting thick metal are also expensive.
