FAQ

What is co2 laser engraving machine?

A co2 laser engraving machine is a machine that uses an electric current to produce an invisible beam of light to cut non-metallic materials quickly and accurately.

How to choose a co2 laser cutting machine

In the co2 laser marking machine selection process, we need to consider some considerations to help us choose a better machine. The following points we need to pay attention to in the selection process.

1. Cutting materials
   The co2 laser marking machine is more suitable for cutting non-metal materials like wood, plastic, leather, etc. If you want to cut metal, it is recommended to change the cutting machine. Please read Gweike's Best Metal Laser Cutting Machine.
2. Cutting type
   If you need to engrave or cut very complicated patterns, you must pick a co2 laser cutting machine with high precision.
3. Price
   The range of machines you choose depends greatly on your budget, and the price of a co2 laser cutting machine can vary by tens of thousands of dollars. So make sure you have a good budget before choosing one.
4. Size
   This includes the size of the table and the machine. Choosing a larger table can greatly improve your work efficiency if you need to engrave large material areas frequently. If you have a small site reserved for machine placement, you need to pay extra attention to the size of the machine when purchasing.
5. Filter fumes
   Very few non-metallic materials in the cutting process will produce toxic gases. Suppose you cut materials that belong to the category of easy to produce toxic gases. In that case, you need to pay extra attention to the machine when purchasing the filtering function. In serious cases, you must do a good job of personal protection or buy a special filter cabinet.

How long does a CO2 laser engraving machine last?

The life span of a co2 laser cutting machine is about 20 years. This is because it only cuts metal for a short time and is maintained regularly after use. This will help to extend the life of the machine.

What to pay attention to when using the machine

1. Do not touch the table and laser head while the machine is working
2. Do not touch the cutting material after the machine has stopped
3. Wear goggles when working with open type laser cutting machines
4. Use in a well-ventilated environment as much as possible

What metals can be engraved with a CO2 laser

The Co2 laser is not completely incapable of engraving & cutting metals. Below, we list some metals that can cut with the co2 laser.
*Can't cut continuously for long periods

1. Stainless steel: You can engrave many stainless steel materials, including medical, 2D codes, etc., that require high image accuracy.
2. Brass: engraving on heat-treated brass will produce better engraving results
3. Copper: You can engrave on copper, but it requires sufficient experience. Because copper is soft, it is not well controlled during engraving.
4. Aluminum Oxide: Low power and low speed are required when carving aluminum oxide. Otherwise, it will damage the material.
5. Carbon steel: When carving carbon steel, you need to get a chemical coating on the surface before cutting it.

Final Thoughts

Finding a CO2 laser engraver machine for your factory for industrial use takes work. I also hope that this article has given you some reference. If you still haven't thought about it, I suggest you go for the LC1390N because this machine has been around for a long time. It has yet to be eliminated because of its various features and the price, which is more suitable and loved by customers.
