HPC LASER
A Galvo machine is not well suited to cutting either , unless very thin materials such as paper or card are involved . However , the speed at which the engraving magically appears before your very eyes really is incredibly impressive . Around 10 times faster than a conventional CO2 laser machine , the Galvo has no external moving parts and therefore requires little maintenance . However , the marking area is usually limited to around 300 x 300mm maximum and so parts usually need to be engraved individually .
Fibre Engraving and Marking
For the ultimate in laser marking on uncoated metallic components , the ideal solution is a fibre marking machine . Once again incorporating the Galvo head , an aircooled fibre optic laser source is installed in preference to the CO2 option and offers a typical working life of around 100,000 hours .
The compact design of the fibre laser source means the machine is much smaller than the CO2 equivalent and is ideally suited to engraving uncoated metals with incredible
speed and precision . Laser powers are usually between 20-50W and marking area once again limited to 300 x 300mm maximum . However , the incredible speed and accuracy offered by a fibre engraving machine on uncoated metals is extremely difficult to achieve using any other means .
