Laser industrial engraving is a process that is carried out without contact using “what engraves” and the object to engrave in question. The laser beam is said to produce a kind of wear on the material or part to be cut or engraved.
In the same way, the level of engraving depth (or wear level), can range from microns to everything that the force of the laser to use allows (centimetres). Also, there are surfaces such as plastic or metal, on which this ray produces a chemical reaction that generates a different coloration to where the change has been applied, this is called laser marking.
On specific details and clean cuts:
Embossing tools for sheet metal process is highly known as it is said to be one of the few tools that can provide edges (generally smooth), and somewhat complex details. In this sense, the laser beam can have a capacity of a quarter of the diameter of a hair on the head, which allows us to understand the degree of detail or specificity that could be obtained using the said machine.
Engraving process at maximum speed:
Electric branding iron machines work based on maximum speed, thus allowing the production level to be raised around a company’s effectiveness margins. Since there is no physical contact with the material to be engraved, the laser beam passes smoothly and quickly over the surfaces, allowing maximum precision to be found in engraving at high speeds.
Simplicity at work:
Custom branding iron machines are said to have an intuitive user interface, which is why their use is so simple and easy. Also, this facility benefits both new users and more advanced users. It is important to recognize that some laser engraving machines are compatible with different programs to do the standard design process, these can be:
– AutoCAD
– Corel Draw
– Illustrator
– Indesign
What do I have to take into account when choosing a laser machine?
Several factors are going to make you choose one model or another, and that is that not all metals react in the same way to the laser.
In this sense, in reflective materials, it will be necessary a machine that performs very short pulses and has a considerable power peak, while if we want a very strong contrast we will need devices that have a high focusing capacity. Therefore, the choice will depend largely on the surfaces with which you usually work.
