Fiber Laser Engraver | Fiber Laser Marking System

What is Fiber Laser Engraving?

Fiber lasers belong to the group of solid-state lasers. This is one of the latest and most popular laser engraving technologies available on the market and is a method which does not require contact of surfaces, as a result, the engraved materials retain their strength even after the engraving function. Because they use a low maintenance solid-state laser source, these tools can label a wide range of materials and work smoothly on a different surface. Furthermore, the process used by these engraving machines consumes very low power and as a result, are able to function as low-power engraving tools. Moreover, the surface etching quality of the laser leaves the engraved material intact and in high-strength.

Fiber Laser Engraving Machine Series

These fiber laser marking systems use advanced fiber pumping technology. The markers use bundled optic fibers and a rare-earth element, Ytterbium, to boost their conductivity. Diodes emit light, pumping it through the fiber rays to the optical heads. Then, the laser beam expands in the optical head and creates a marking on your surface. The laser beam quality is very high compared to other types of lasers. Engraving can happen through any of these methods:

1. Laser engraving.
2. Ablation or removal of the top layer.
3. A color change of the marked area through etching.
4. Bonding.
5. MOPA Laser Marking Series.

Fiber Laser Applications

What Materials can A Fiber Laser Engrave?

This is a kind of laser engraving machine for metals. Fiber laser engraving work on different types of metals and non-metallic material like ceramics and plastics (like ABS, PVC, PP, and PE) as well as marking metals materials including platinum, stainless steel, brass, silver, gold, and bronze. Carbide, tungsten, copper, aluminum, aluminum alloys, and medical-grade alloys are also ideal candidates.

Benefits of HeatSign Fiber Laser Engravers & Marking Machines

In general, the main benefits of fiber lasers series are as follows:

• There is no need for maintenance because air cooling process is used, in contrast with the water chillers in other marker types. This makes fiber laser markers more convenient.
• Unlike other machines, there are no consumables. The laser source has a very high life span (more than 100,000 hours), so you don’t have to worry about the costs of spares.
• There are no harsh chemicals used for engraving process is safe and environmentally friendly.
• Because there are no big impacts needed to make marks, the machines are reliable and safe to work with.
• Since the markings can withstand high temperatures, this is a good solution for objects that need sterilization. Examples include surgical or parts that need to go in an autoclave.
• The fiber laser engraving equipment benefits from a relatively compact and modular design. Thus, you can install it virtually anywhere. It is ideal even for small factories or workshops who want to avoid wasting valuable shop floor space.

How to choose a suitable fiber laser marking machine?

• Unlike laser cutters, these engraving machines use the popular 20W or 30W fiber laser refers to the output power of the laser source. The difference between a good laser and a bad one is not simply determined by the output power, but by the brand of the laser source and the core technology used. Currently, popular Chinese fiber laser source brands on the market include Raycus, Maxphotonics, JPT, etc. According to our experience, JPT’s laser marked performance is better than others because Most JPT laser is based on MOPA technology.
• Choose your machines according to your marking needs, in this age of efficiency, and we usually need metal engraving machines that can automate marking or integrate devices to do batch marking on the production line and software that can automatically replace content, such as serial numbers auto increment. If you have such a demand, you need to choose high output power machines such as 30W, 50W, 60W fiber laser and need machine suppliers to provide the corresponding solutions and technical support. Because the high-power laser machine can be a more stable actual laser output, has a longer working life. Moreover, the software needs to be compatible with existing operating systems and machine requirements.
• You also need to take into account the material that you have to engrave since the surface of the material plays an important role in the selection of the laser. In case you want to engrave hard material like metal like Aluminum or stainless steel then you will need to choose a higher-powered machine.
• Don’t forget to check out the control software for the machine. Since it is important for the control to be easy and user-friendly. If the control is not user-friendly then its not beneficial.
