What is laser metal engraving?

Laser metal engraving includes a process where a small amount of surface material is evaporated or burned from a metal surface with a laser beam to form a logo, model code or other design for the metal part. Several different types of laser beams are used, including carbon dioxide lasers (CO _{2 ), yytterbium lasers (YB) and Yttium aluminum (YAG) lasers. The shorter the wavelength of the laser beam, the finer the brand it can do.}

CO _{2 Lasers usually have a relatively large wave length of laser light, which is 10 times larger than the YAG laser on 10,064 nanometers. As a result, they are suitable for general laser metal engraving in various materials in addition to metals, including marble, wood and plastic. YAG and YB lasers have a wavelength of 1,064 to 1,080 nanometers of size and are used for a finer metal, but due to their limited strength they are not traveled into other materials.}

yag and yb lasers for knight will be shortened to very minimal depth butTheir excellent detailed work is to cause them suitable for their own engraving. Laser metal engraving with laser fiber will produce marks to a depth of 0.001 inches (0.0254 millimeters). YAG lasers are slightly stronger and can be reduced to a depth of 0.003 inches (0.0762 millimeters). Of these two laser fibers, the YB is less and it is a more compact engraving machine. However, the YAG laser metal engraving system is faster and offers slightly more versatility, because the depth of cutting can change more by changing the speed and number of yag laser beam passages on the surface.

The

types of laser engraving machines also vary depending on how automated and how the surface to be engraved is mounted. The most advanced machines are the fastest, with computer -controlled, pre -loaded laser programs. Resolution anywhere 50 dots per inch (DPI) up to 1200 dpi is possible for engraving. On the other hand, a typical home computer printer can offer a contrast600 x 600 dpi ratio.

In the industrial engraving arena, the laser CO 2 is used almost exclusively over other types. This is because it can engrave into a wide range of metals and other materials such as rubber and acrylic, while laser yag is limited to good metal printing, for example, on clips of ball pens.}
