Introduction

CO2 laser marking machines are versatile tools used in various industries for engraving and marking purposes. These machines are particularly known for their efficiency in marking non-metallic materials due to their specific wavelength, typically around 10.6 micrometers. Understanding the types of materials that can be marked using CO2 lasers is crucial for industries aiming to leverage this technology for their products.

Materials Suitable for CO2 Laser Marking

CO2 laser marking machines are primarily used for marking non-metallic materials. Below is a detailed analysis of these materials:

  • Wood:

    The CO2 laser can effectively mark woods such as maple, cherry, and walnut. The engraving depth can be controlled by adjusting the laser power, which typically ranges from 10 to 60 watts. For deeper engravings, a power setting of 40 to 60 watts is recommended.

  • Glass:

    Glass materials can be etched with a CO2 laser, providing elegant frosted designs. Recommended power settings range from 15 to 30 watts to minimize the risk of cracking.

  • Plastic:

    Various plastics, including acrylic, polycarbonate, and ABS, are suitable for CO2 laser marking. Power settings between 20 to 50 watts are common, depending on the type and thickness of the plastic.

  • Paper and Cardboard:

    These materials are easily marked with CO2 lasers, requiring lower power settings, typically between 10 to 25 watts. The marking process is efficient for producing intricate designs.

  • Fabric and Leather:

    Textiles and leather can be cut and marked effectively with CO2 lasers. Power settings vary widely depending on the fabric's density and thickness, with most applications using 15 to 50 watts.
