The differences between laser engraving machines and laser marking machines are mainly reflected in the following two aspects.
Application Fields
Laser engraving machines are mainly used for deep engraving on materials such as metal, plastic, and ceramics. They are suitable for applications that require highly durable markings, such as permanent identification on industrial products.
Laser marking machines have a wider range of applications, including electronics, automotive, medical, packaging, and other fields. They are mainly used for shallow marking on the surface of various materials, such as text, patterns, and QR codes. They are suitable for situations that require high marking precision and speed.
Working Principle
Laser engraving machines use a high-energy laser beam to ablate or melt the material surface, achieving deep engraving. This creates a noticeable raised or recessed effect on the material surface, and the marking result is very pronounced.
Laser marking machines use the thermal effect or photochemical reaction produced by the laser beam on the material surface to cause color changes or form tiny grooves, thereby completing the marking. The damage to the material surface is minimal, and the marking effect is relatively fine.
For precision non-standard components used in laser engraving and marking machines, such as optical mounting brackets, galvanometer seats, and focusing lens holders, Hansheng Automation provides custom machining based on customer drawings or samples, including single-piece and small-batch orders.
