What is a laser marking machine?
A laser marking machine is a device that uses a laser beam to create permanent marks on different materials, such as metal, plastic, wood, glass, etc. The marks can be text, logos, barcodes, QR codes, serial numbers, or any other design. Fiber laser markers are widely used in various industries for identification, traceability, decoration, and personalization purposes.
There are different types of laser marker machines based on the wavelength of light they use. The common types are: fiber laser marking machine, CO2 laser marking machine, UV laser marking machine and etc. Compared to long wavelengths, short wavelengths often have more energy and a higher rate of absorption. The ability of a laser to mark particular materials is mainly influenced by its wavelength.

Which laser marking machine should I choose:
Fiber, UV or CO2?
Although lasers can mark on a wide range of products, there isn't a single solution that works for all applications. Depending on the use and material, fiber laser markers, UV laser markers and CO2 laser markers have varying performance characteristics. Here is a quick introduction and comparison between CO2, UV, and fibre laser marking machines. And a few marking samples of each laser type are shown. Hope you can choose the machine that suits you from the following guide, or please feel free to contact us for a solution.
