what are the factors that will affect the marking speed of the laser marking machine?

Many companies value the marking speed of the equipment when purchasing laser marking machines, because it is directly related to the processing efficiency of the order. So, what are the factors that will affect the marking speed of the laser marking machine?

Generally speaking, the main reasons that affect the speed of laser marking machine are divided into: one is the equipment itself, the other is the workpiece. The main reasons for the equipment itself are laser frequency, laser spot mode and light speed divergence angle, laser power, and reasonable optical processing. Another reason is the marking density, marking range, marking depth and laser spot size during processing.

1. Marking density: The marking speed of sparse materials is much faster than that of dense materials. In the same format marking, sparse marking takes only 2 minutes, while dense marking may take 5 minutes. After all, the marking density is higher. For example, in a fiber laser marking machine, marking on non-metallic materials is faster than marking on metallic materials, because the density of general non-metallic materials is not as high as that of metallic materials.

2. Marking depth: the depth of the product marking. The shallower the marking, the faster the speed, and vice versa. If you want to mark a higher depth on the surface of the material, you need to increase the parameter configuration and increase the laser power. It will take a certain amount of time to mark the depth, which will slow down the overall marking speed. Just like drilling a well, two wells are drilled in the same way. If one side requires 8 meters and the other requires 10 meters, it will take more time to drill 10 meters under the same conditions. 

3. Marking range: The size of the marking area of ​​the laser marking machine will also affect the marking speed of the laser marking machine. Large-format marking will deflect the galvanometer to the maximum to maximize marking. Compared with the small-format marking speed, the large-format marking speed is much slower.

4. Laser spot size:  The spot after the laser beam is focused is the spot passing through the focusing lens (the spot refers to the size of the light hitting the surface of the processed object). The smaller the spot, the faster it runs. This is due to its small size. 

The speed of the laser marking machine is also related to its own configuration, and cannot be measured by a certain factor alone, so you must communicate well when purchasing a laser machine.

The above factors will affect the marking speed of the laser marking machine in the actual operation and marking process. Triumph Laser hopes that our customers can follow these conditions to increase the marking speed and create higher benefits.

The CO2 laser marking machine produced by Triumph has a complete range of styles and models. Triumph Laser offers free samples to customers and selects the most suitable CO2 laser marking machine for customers.
