Co2 Laser Engraver

What is A Co2 Laser Engraver?
Co2 laser engraver machine, also known as co2 laser engraving machine, is a kind of CNC laser equipment specially for engraving & marking works of 2D/3D letters, numbers, texts, patterns, photos, pictures, signs or logos on the surface of non-metal materials, including acrylic, glass, rubber, wood, fabric, plastic, leather, paper, stone, textiles, etc. The Co2 laser engraver machine has the advantages of high precision and speed, easy operation and excellent working performance.

How Does A Laser Engraving Machine Work?

Working Principle Laser engraving is based on computer numerical control technology. First, you need to make a design of laser engraving file, then, open the file through laser software, and start CNC programing, the laser engraver machine will start working after the control system received the control command. The laser beam is reflected through laser mirrors, the laser focal point downward through laser lens, where the heat is most intense. Thus, the laser beam starts impinging on the material, the material will burn or evaporate, and the color will change as well, and make a contrast. After a while, a complete laser engraved project will be finished.

What Is A Laser Engravers Used For?

Laser engraving machines are widely used in various industries of embroidery, brand processing, packaging and printing, custom credit cards, advertisement decoration, architectural models, metal fabrication, woodworking, custom smartphones & laptops, laser knife mold, crafts, leathers, shoes, toys, fablabs & education, medical technology, rubber stamps, watches, architectural models, packaging design, automotive industry, mechanical engineering, awards & trophies, signs & displays, signage, giveaways, electronics industry, data plates, personalized jewelry maker, ball bearing, barcode serial numbers, and more. With a laser engraving system, you can engrave different designs on different material surfaces. The laser beam will make the surface to vaporize. It is a good idea for someone who wants to customize or personalize something.

Advantages And Benefits Of Laser Engraving?

Laser engraving is the application of CNC laser technology to make text or pattern on the object. While engraving, the surface of the object is still smooth, and the writing will not wear. The laser beam does not touch the surface of the material, is not affected by mechanical motion, and the surface does not deform, generally no need to be fixed. Laser etching is not affected by the elasticity and flexibility of the material, and is convenient for soft materials. Laser etching has high precision, high speed and wide application fields.

1. The precision workbench can be used for fine micromachining;

2. Use a microscope or camera system to observe or monitor the condition of the engraved surface;

3. It can pass through light-transmitting materials (such as quartz, glass) to engrave its internal parts;

4. It can process most metal or non-metal materials;

5. The laser beam is very thin, so that the consumption of the engraved material is small;

6. During laser etching, X-rays will not be generated like electron beam bombardment and other engraving methods, and will not be interfered by electric and magnetic fields;

7. It can mark the surface of “millimeter-level” parts;

8. The laser uses non-mechanical “tools” for engraving, which does not produce mechanical extrusion or mechanical stress on the material, has no “tool” wear marks, is non-toxic, and rarely causes environmental pollution;

9. The prism and mirror system can be used to focus the beam on the inner surface or inclined surface of the workpiece for etching;

10. The operation is simple, the use of numerical control technology can realize automatic engraving, can be used for high-speed and high-efficiency engraving of parts on the production line, and can be used as a part of the flexible machining system.

How Much Does A Laser Engraver Cost?

If you have an idea to buy a cheap laser engraver, you may wonder how much does it cost? how to get a fair price or final price? The laser engraving machine cost is composed of the following items:

1. spare parts.

2. software and system.

3. tax rates.

4. shipping costs.

5. customs clearance.

6. service and technical support.

A fiber laser engraver cost is from $3,000.00 to 28,500.00. A CO2 laser engraver cost is from $2,400.00 to 70,000.00. An UV laser engraver cost is from $10,000.00 to 30,000.00.
