A BETTER WAY TO GO GREEN

Okay, we've covered a lot today, so let's quickly recap:To mark soft materials without damage or readibility issues, manufacturers need to use a laser with a shorter wavelength. These types of lasers create less heat, which is why they're also called "cold lasers."

Two popular cold lasers used for marking and engraving are green and UV lasers. Both options are capable of creating quality marks on delicate products, but green lasers provide more output power. More output power (measured in watts) translates to faster marking speeds. 

However, most green lasers on the market only offer 4-6W of output power. That's relatively slow if you're currently using a CO2, fiber, or diode-pumped laser marking machine. 

Thankfully, there's a better option. 

Take a look at a green laser marking machine capable of reaching a maximum power output of 20W, more than three times that of other green laser marking technologies.
