Is Laser Engraving Permanent?
Yes, laser engraving is permanent. Deeper engravings are generally more resistant to wear and fading. However, the appropriate depth depends on the material and the intended use of the engraved item.
A laser engraver works by creating a high-powered laser beam in a glass laser tube that contains a mixture of specific gases, including nitrogen and carbon dioxide. The laser beam is then projected through a lens at the end of the laser tube, is then reflected off a series of mirrors, and then refined through a focal lens onto the surface of a material.
The laser beam moves along a programmed path that can be adjusted to different power intensities, speeds, and settings depending on the depth you're looking to engrave.
Can a CO2 Laser Engrave Metal?
A CO2 laser engraver is unable to engrave metal due to the wavelength and power of the laser beam produced by the laser tube and the reflective nature of metals.
Attempting to engrave metal on a CO2 laser machine carries the inherent risk of the laser beam reflecting back up the optics and potentially causing irreversible damage to the laser tube. However, a CO2 laser is able to etch the top surface layer of anodised coated metals, revealing the base metal underneath.
If, however, you are looking to engrave metal, we recommend checking out our Vision Dual-Source range that incorporates a CO2 and fibre laser source into one system!
Can I Laser Engrave Spherical Objects?
The curvature of the spherical objects presents a challenge as CO2 lasers require a consistent focal point for precision—any deviation from this focal point results in a loss of engraving quality.
However, at Focused Laser Systems, all our Vision laser machines come with the added option to include a rotary attachment, enabling you to engrave with precision on cylindrical items and expand the scope of your creative or commercial projects.
How Easy Is It to Operate a CO2 Laser Engraver?
Although operating a CO2 laser engraving machine may initially seem daunting, the process is relatively simple. After installing and configuring the alignment of your laser machine, our technicians will provide you with a comprehensive 1:1 training session covering:
Operational Training
Our engineers will cover how to operate your laser machine, including understanding the control panel, setting up your materials, and focusing your optics.
Maintenance Training
Regular maintenance is essential to ensure your laser machine remains in optimal working condition. Our engineers will go through routine cleaning tasks, the alignment of the optics, and provide a thorough explanation of each component and its function.
Software Training
Our technicians will guide you through the process of preparing your files and instruct you on how to direct your laser machine to cut, engrave, or score specific parts of your design. We'll also advise you on the appropriate speed and power settings to achieve your desired outcome.
We fully appreciate you aren't going to become an expert overnight (well, hopefully), which is why all our laser machines are provided with lifetime technical support. So, if you ever have a question or need help, we're only a phone call or message away.
How Long Does a Laser Tube Last?
The lifespan of a laser tube varies depending on the power rating, usage, and maintenance. However, on average, a CO2 laser tube can last between 2 to 5 years.
Laser tubes with proper care and moderate use often reach the upper end of this scale, ensuring longevity and consistent performance. Regular maintenance, including cleaning and alignment, can significantly extend a laser tube's lifespan.
