What are the differences between the laser engraving machines used in the cup&pot industry?

Hello everyone, "Dong Dong Talk Cup" is here. Recently, the factory has received a lot of orders. Each order has different process requirements for realizing patterns on water cups. There are also many orders using laser engraving technology to make logos and patterns. http://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10434.htmlToday, the editor would like to take this opportunity to share with you the differences between the laser engraving machines currently commonly used in the cup and pot industry.

In the field of cup and pot manufacturing, there are three main types of laser engraving machines used by various factories: fiber laser marking machine, ultraviolet laser marking machine (purple light machine) and carbon dioxide laser marking machine. http://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10434.htmlEach type of machine has its specific advantages and applicable materials. Choosing the right material for production and processing can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

1. Fiber laser marking machine

It uses fiber laser to generate high energy density laser, http://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10434.htmlwhich is suitable for marking metal and carbide materials. Its advantages are as follows:

High efficiency and stability: The fiber laser marking machine has high photoelectric conversion efficiency, energy saving and stable performance.

High Precision: Capable of achieving fine marking, suitable for applications requiring precision processing, http://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10434.htmlespecially patterns with fine lines.

Long service life: The service life of fiber lasers can generally reach 100,000 hours.

The best application materials include stainless steel, aluminum and carbide materials, which can produce clear and lasting pattern effects and are relatively more suitable for brand logo processing.

2. The UV laser marking machine

It uses a laser with a shorter wavelength, http://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10434.htmlwhich is suitable for non-metallic materials such as plastics and glass. Its advantages are as follows:

Cold processing: Almost no heat-affected zone is produced, which prevents the material from being burned or broken. When using a fiber optic marking machine and a UV machine to laser engrave patterns on plastic products, http://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10434.htmlthe edges of the patterns produced by the fiber optic machine will have obvious burn marks.

High precision: Since the ultraviolet light machine uses a cold light source processing method, the pattern will not expand or deform due to temperature, http://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10434.htmlso the laser engraving effect will be better.

The best application materials include plastic, glass, etc. http://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10434.htmlThe patterns and logos produced have neat and clean edges and delicate and continuous patterns.

3. Carbon dioxide laser marking machine

It is suitable for marking non-metallic materials, such as wood products, leather, paper, etc., but in the cup and pot industry, it is mostly used for cup and pot products with rubber paint or plastic powder process on the surface. http://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10434.htmlIts advantages are as follows:

The material is more widely applicable: It is particularly suitable for the processing of non-metallic materials, http://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10434.htmlbut the processing effect of cup and pot products with rubber paint or powder spraying process on the surface must be better with the fiber optic marking machine.

Lower cost: Compared with other laser marking machines, the cost is relatively low.

The best application materials include wood, bamboo, leather, paper, etc. It can also be used for large-scale engraving on plastic, glass and stainless steel surfaces with natural effects, http://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10434.htmlbut its processing ability for fine patterns is slightly inferior to that of UV laser machines.

Friends can choose the appropriate laser engraving machine for production according to the editor's summary and the material and pattern fineness of their own products. http://www.zhanyict.com/en/ProductsDetail-VB-10434.htmlIn summary: choose a fiber optic machine for pure stainless steel (no spraying) surface, choose a UV machine for plastic glass, and choose a carbon dioxide machine for stainless steel with spraying.
