Laser Engraver Buyer's Guide

What is laser engraving?

The laser engraving machine uses a beam of light as the engraving tool, so no part of the machinery actually touches the material being engraved. You don't need a special system to hold down your engraving material. The engraved words and graphs do not fade and can exist permanently and can avoid being forged effectively.

Related definitions of laser engraver:

Engraving: all laser progressing systems are called engraving, which are divided into scanning mode and cutting mode.

Cutting: laser light is moving on the lines of design graphics, leaving the demanded image on the engraved materials

Scanning: laser light is moving horizontally or vertically among the design image field, and to complete the image wholly on the processed material. This method can be used to label/marks cutting or plate making in detail.

Label/marks making: laser light is adjusted to the minimum to adjust many kinds of label marking.

Plating engraving: laser light is adjusted to specific amount, can leaving a pit with a specific depth. This kind of method is used to cutting double sides printing plates whose gradient can be adjusted.

Relief scripture: changing the different grade degree into depth degree when scanning to get the relief scripture

gradient: usually, transmitting from material surface to scanning parts is vertically down. To full fill the printing demand, going down can be realized by a slope gradually, which is called gradient.

object: all the images, words or graphic on the page leaded in by the user

Laser Processing Materials:
Co2 Laser engraving machine can process non metal materials and some of coated metals, such as fabric & leather, paper & cardboard, rubber (natural, synthetic & foam), wood, acrylic, stone, glass, and so on.

How to choose best suitable engraving machine for you?
Laser engravers can be divided into professional laser engraving machine, professional laser marking engraving, professional laser cutting. Following advices maybe help to choose a laser engraver:

(1)What kinds of engraved materials you want to choose:
laser engravers can be generally divide into two kinds: YAG and CO2. the first one is special designed for metal engraving medias, the second one is for non-metal medias, which takes a larger parts in the engraving market.

(2)What kinds of application you want to get:
engraving equipments can be generally divided into laser engraver, laser cutter, and laser marker according to different using methods. Some are multifunction equipments, and some are special engravers just for one function.

(3)How large the engraved area is:
it is also the demand to the format of laser engravers. However, there is not a rule for the equipment that: the larger, the better. The most suitable one is the best one.

(4)laser tube power:
laser tube power will be different according to the engraved medias, or contents.

Benefits of our lasers:
CO2 Glass or R.F. Lasers –The lasers we chose are most water cooled made in China. Lasers can be easily removed by the user for change or prompt factory servicing from us at low recharge cost. We can also equip R.F. lasers imported from USA and cooled by air according to your requirement.
Lasers Designed Specifically for Engraving & Cutting – Lasers are made in China with high quality and specifically tuned to provide fine cutting and engraving quality.
Power Range Availability (10-150 watts) – Get the exact amount of power you need for virtually any application.

How much power do I need?
10 Watts –Low power level for light engraving.
25-35 Watts –It is special for stamp carving and simple engraving and thin material cutting, not recommended for thick cutting or dual head applications.
40-50 Watts –Medium production power level for deeper, high speed engraving and slightly thick cutting operations.
60-80 Watts –High production power level provides increased throughput, deep engraving and cutting. Ideal for precision engraving and cutting.
100-150 Watts – Very high production power level that is ideal for heavy cutting and deep, higher throughput engraving. For example, if you want to cut acrylic of thickness of over 3mm (include 3mm); you can choose high power lasers.

(5)Engraving speed:
More profit can be realize in short time with high working speed. So speed is the important factor on whether you can get the orders and get the profits.

(6)Engraving solutions:
The most obvious difference between the laser machine and the traditional engraver is the high solution. High solution laser engravers can get to 1000DPI

(7)Service:
Pre-sales service: we will provide you the professional, prompt, patient, pre-considering service to help you find the most suitable equipment

After sale service: after receiving the order, we will provide you with equipments following service, to get the shipping pictures for you. Usually, the after sales of equipment is very important. We provide free on-line technical support and free maintenance of the basic engraver spare parts within Two year.

Extra fee is paid if out of date. Any damage to the machine caused by improper use will be charged.

(8)General to consider the quality and cost:
Not all laser engraving machines are the same quality or are composed of the same materials. Depending on the different equipment the quality of engraving machines can vary greatly. For this reason, cheaper engraving machines are not always the best ones for you, only machines with reasonable price and accord with your application are your best choice.

(9)Others:
Apart from above mentioned features, there are a couple of other things to remember when choosing engraving machines. Good mechanical design is also important for you; it makes your working more stable and convenient. Some optical device can extend machine’s application. Your detailed information will be helpful for us to suggest the best suitable laser engraving machine to you.

Help with math homework please!?

A Martian spacecraft lands in city A at the x intercept of the path 2x-4y=-8.
A klingon spacecraft lands at the y intercept of the path 3x=3-y/2.
The Defense Department wishes to annihilate the intruders by firing a laser on a path that would destroy both spaceships at once. Find the equation of the path in slope intercept form.

2x=4y-8
x=2y-4
(-4, 0)

-y/2=3x-3
(-2)-y/2=(-2)3x-3
y=-6x+6
(0, 6)

And calculate the slope of those two points on your own.
