Great for everyday marking on wood, acrylic, leather, and plastic.
More power for deeper marks and dense plastics.
The HeatSign CO2 laser marking machine marks non-metal parts fast and clean. This CO2 galvo laser marking machine works on wood, acrylic, leather, glass, paper, rubber, and most plastics. Its sealed RF metal tube is air-cooled, so there is no water chiller and little upkeep. The galvo head runs up to 7,000 mm/s. You get permanent logos, codes, dates, and serial numbers — no ink, no labels. Pick 40W or 60W, choose a marking area, and add a rotary axis for round parts.
The HS-CL Series is built around a sealed RF CO2 metal tube. That means stable power, a long service life, and air cooling with no chiller. A fast galvo head steers the beam, so most marks finish in seconds. You can pick 40W or 60W, add a rotary axis for round parts, and run everything from simple EZCAD software. Here is what that means for your shop.
This CO2 laser marking machine works on non-metal materials. It makes clear logos, text, codes, and fine etching. Below are the most common uses.
Engrave logos, art, and text on crafts, gifts, awards, and tools.
Etch fine detail on signs, displays, and trophies. A clean CO2 laser etching machine job.
Brand wallets, belts, and bags with logos or serial numbers.
Mark permanent codes and logos on ABS and many industrial plastics.
Light surface branding is possible, but some glass can crack. Test a sample first. For glass, a UV laser is often the better choice.
Print date codes, batch numbers, and branding on cartons and labels.
Good to know: CO2 lasers are made for non-metals. This machine can mark coated or painted metal (the laser removes the coating), but it cannot mark bare metal. For steel or aluminum part marking, use a fiber laser marking machine instead.
Thanks to flexible laser controls, Heatsign CO2 laser marking system can easily mark many non-metals and layers. Contact our support team today to check compatibility for your unique parts.
Watch a short demo on the left. Read the simple steps on the right.
In the clip, you can watch marks form on wood, acrylic, and plastic. The part stays still. Only the beam moves, so the result is fast and clean.
Notice how little setup it needs. There is no ink, no stencil, and no contact with the part. The sealed RF metal tube fires the beam, and the air-cooled design means no chiller and no warm-up.
Every mark is permanent. It will not smudge, peel, or wash off. You can mark text, logos, dates, serial numbers, and barcodes in one pass.
The same machine handles many jobs. Switch from a wood gift to an acrylic sign to a plastic part in seconds — just load a new file in EZCAD. Pick 40W for daily work, or 60W for deeper, faster marks.
It is simple:
1. A sealed CO2 tube makes an infrared laser beam.
2. A fast galvo head uses two mirrors to aim the beam.
3. A lens focuses the beam onto the surface.
4. The beam heats the surface and leaves a permanent mark.
The part does not move. Only the beam moves. That is why it is fast and accurate.

The short answer: a galvo CO2 marker is built for fast, small, permanent marks. A traditional CO2 engraving machine moves a head on rails and is built for large cutting and engraving. Here is how they compare.
Feature | CO2 Laser Marking Machine (galvo) | Traditional CO2 Engraving Machine |
|---|---|---|
How it marks | Galvo mirrors steer the beam | A head moves on rails (gantry) |
Speed | Up to 7,000–8,000 mm/s | Much slower |
Best for | Fast marks, codes, logos, batches | Large-format cutting and engraving |
Laser tube | Sealed RF metal tube, 20,000+ hrs | Often a glass tube, shorter life |
Cooling | Air-cooled (water optional) | Often needs a water chiller |
Footprint | Compact desktop unit | Large cabinet |
Fine detail | High — ±0.01 mm | Lower on small marks |
Our quick recommendation: If you mark or etch non-metals — wood, acrylic, leather, plastic, paper, or glass — and you want speed, a small footprint, and low upkeep, a galvo CO2 laser marking machine is the right tool. Pick a traditional CO2 engraving machine only when you need large-format cutting or deep relief on big panels. And if you must mark bare metal, choose a fiber laser instead.
Buyers often ask which laser to choose. The simple rule: CO2 is for non-metals, fiber is for bare metal. They use different wavelengths, so each one suits different materials.
Point | CO2 Laser Marking Machine | Fiber Laser Marking Machine |
|---|---|---|
Wavelength | 10.6 µm | 1064 nm |
Best materials | Wood, acrylic, leather, glass, paper, plastic | Steel, aluminum, brass, other bare metals |
Bare metal | No | Yes |
Coated / painted metal | Yes (removes the coating) | Limited |
Choose it when | You mark non-metals or coatings | You mark bare metal parts |

Yes. The laser changes the surface itself, so there is no ink to rub off. On most non-metals the mark resists handling, washing, and normal wear. For outdoor parts that face years of sun and weather, send a sample so we can confirm the result first.
On wood and leather the laser leaves a clean, brown engraved tone. The exact shade depends on the material. Light, dense woods give the sharpest look. We tune the power and speed to keep edges clean and avoid heavy scorching.
Light surface branding on glass is possible, but some glass can crack under the heat. We suggest a sample test first. If glass is your main job, a UV laser is usually the better and safer choice, and we can advise on that.
The CO2 laser removes the top coating to reveal the base layer underneath. This gives a clear, high-contrast mark on anodized aluminum, painted, or powder-coated parts. It does not mark bare, uncoated metal — that needs a fiber laser.
The sealed RF tube is air-cooled and built for steady, all-day work. For very heavy, non-stop production, water cooling is available as an option to hold the temperature even tighter and keep the speed stable.
Add the optional rotary axis. It turns the part at a set speed while the laser marks, so the text or code wraps evenly around the curve. Tell us your part diameter and we will match the right rotary setup.
No. It ships ready to run with EZCAD software, which most operators learn in a day. A double red light pointer shows the correct focus height, so you do not have to measure by hand. We also provide setup guidance and videos.
Every machine comes with a 1-year warranty and lifetime online support. Standard lead time is about 7 working days. As the maker, we ship direct and help with setup, software, and spare parts.
Every material reacts a little differently. Wood tone, acrylic depth, and coated-metal contrast all vary. So let us prove it on your part. Send your file or sample, and we will mark it on a CO2 machine, share a photo of the result, and send a clear price. Built by the maker — 1-year warranty and shipping in about 7 working days.
See how users evaluate HeatSign CO2 laser marking machines after real setup and daily production. These reviews share practical feedback on non-metal marking quality, parameter testing, ventilation, and stable results for small-batch and production work.
We mark logos and item codes on dark plastic housings. The 60W model gives us better speed than the smaller CO2 laser we used before. Some plastics need testing first, but once the parameters are right, the mark is stable and readable.
We use the CO2 laser for logos and serial numbers on wallets and straps. The branding looks clean and permanent. Some leather types smell more during marking, so ventilation is important, but the result is much better than hot stamping for small batches.
