Applications of The Fiber-Optic LASER Metal Engraving Machine & Portable LASER Marking Machine

You need a metal engraving machine to print the logo of your brand or important data regarding the products. These details are printed in order to prevent duplication of the products and to create separate identity for each product that is sold by your business. There are different types of machines to engrave important data regarding a business or product on the metal surface. These machines operate differently and they are available in varying sizes. Therefore, you can select an engraver based upon the unique needs of your business, your budget or your convenience. For example, you may use the laser engravers, dot-peen engravers or CNC engravers to inscribe important data on the metal surface.

All types of engraving machines have unique sets of advantage and disadvantage for the users. The metal engraving machine, which uses an optical fiber cable (made of silica glass) in order to guide the LASER beam, can engrave details on any type of metal. The LASER beam generated by this type of machine is more precise in comparison to other types of engraving machines that use LASER beam. The LASER beam becomes straighter and smaller due to being guided by the fiber cable. Therefore, the images or texts look well aligned when being engraved by a fiber-optic LASER machine. These machines can engrave the desired markings with excellent precision and can efficiently complete the task.

A metal engraving machine that uses fiber-optic laser is a powerful device since uses advanced pumping technology. You may use this type of engraving machine to inscribe upon different types of metal, such as bronze, brass, silver, platinum, gold, stainless-steel, copper, aluminum or tungsten. It is also possible to engrave the medical-grade alloys and certain types of plastics (PVC, ABS, PE and PP) using the fiber LASER based engraving machines. These machines are fitted with advanced air-cooling mechanisms. Hence, there is no need for maintenance. They are environment friendly due to using no harmful chemical.

The color of the metal surface may change after coming in contact with the LASER beam. Thus, the marked texts or images may appear in different shades. However, the shade of the engraved marks depends upon the type of the material. It cannot be controlled by the metal engraving machine. You may even use a portable laser marking machine to inscribe upon the metal surface and non-metal surface. The majority of the engraving machines have been designed to operate from one place. These machines cannot be used to engrave large or heavy items since these items cannot be moved for the purpose of marking.

A portable metal engraving machine that uses LASER beam for marking can be used in this scenario. They have been designed to move around when marking and can be used to mark large components, such as machinery cabinet, pipes (metal or PVC), tubes, parts of lifting equipment etc. For more information visit here: Factronics USA
