HOW TO UV LASER ENGRAVE SOFT PRODUCTS
Jan 29 , 2021
Laser marking or engraving glass, ceramics, plastics and other soft or heat-resistant materials can pose a catch-22: Opt for more delicate marking methods to increase quality, and you end up sacrificing speed. Let me explain. If you’ve ever tried to mark these types of materials with a CO2, fiber, or diode-pumped laser marking machine, you probably noticed poor mark quality. These las...

WHY UV GREEN LASER WATTAGE MATTERS
Jan 29 , 2021
WHY LASER WATTAGE MATTERS We’ve talked a lot about laser wavelength so far, but another key determinant of how fast a machine can mark is power output. While laser wavelength is a measurement of light energy, watts (W) is the unit of measurement for laser power output. For example, a typical industrial fiber laser marking machine will run anywhere from 10W to 100W of output pow...
