Power is a crucial criterion for assessing the processing capability of equipment, as it directly impacts the range of material selection and processing efficiency. Based on actual usage, power can be categorized into three levels:
Low power range (5-10W): suitable for surface engraving, such as processing thin and light materials like wood boards less than 3mm thick, thin leather, and paper. With a small heat-affected area and low energy consumption, it is highly suitable for DIY enthusiasts and novices.
Medium power range (10-20W): It strikes a balance between processing accuracy and practicality, capable of processing 5-8mm non-metallic materials. Some fiber models can even process thin metals. Compared to low-power models, its processing efficiency is increased by 30%-50%, making it an ideal choice for educational institutions and small studios.
High-power range (20-40W): Capable of processing materials such as wood boards and hardwood with thicknesses of 8mm or more, suitable for continuous operation in small workshops. However, it is important to note that high-power equipment requires a water cooling system and a dedicated ventilation environment, with relatively high maintenance costs.
The type of laser is a crucial factor determining whether the equipment can adapt to a specific processing scenario.
Different laser types have varying wavelengths and processing characteristics, necessitating selection based on the specific materials involved. For instance, CO₂ lasers, operating at a wavelength of 10.6μm, are ideal for processing non-metallic materials like wood and acrylic; fiber lasers, with a wavelength of 1.06μm, are specifically designed for metal engraving and thin metal cutting; whereas blue diode lasers, due to their cost-effectiveness, are suitable for basic marking and creative production.
