Recently we received an enquiry from a customer for a laser marking machine, and finally we recommended a customized pneumatic marking machine according to his exact requirements. So how should we choose between these two types marking machines?
Let's review their differences as follows:
1. Different principle
Laser marking machine is a marking equipment that uses different lasers to hit the laser beam on the surface of various materials, and the surface material can undergo physical or chemical changes through light, thereby engraving permanent signs such as patterns, trademarks and words.
Pneumatic marking machine is a computer-controlled printing needle that moves according to a certain trajectory in the X and Y two-dimensional planes, and the printing needle performs high-frequency impact motion under the action of compressed air, thereby printing a certain depth of marks on the workpiece.
Fiber laser marking is an alternative to etching or engraving treatments, both of which alter the microstructure of the material and can lead to changes in strength and hardness. Because fiber laser marking is non-contact engraving and works quickly, parts do not have to undergo the stress and possible damage that other marking solutions can cause. A dense cohesive oxide coating that "grows" on the surface; You don't need to melt.
Government guidelines for Unique Device Identification (UDI) for all medical devices, implants, tools and devices define permanent, clear and accurate labeling. While tagging improves patient safety by reducing medical errors, providing access to relevant data and facilitating device traceability, it is also used to combat counterfeiting and fraud.
2. Different applications
Laser marking machine can be applied to metal and non-metal. Currently, it is mainly used in some occasions requiring finer and higher precision, such as electronic components, integrated circuits (IC), electrical appliances, mobile communications, hardware products, tool accessories, Precision instruments, glasses and clocks, jewelry, auto parts, plastic buttons, building materials, PVC pipes, food packaging.
Pneumatic marking machines are mostly used in metals and non-metals with hard hardness, such as various mechanical parts, machine tools, hardware products, metal pipes, gears, pump bodies, valves, fasteners, steel, instruments, electromechanical equipment and other metal marking.
2. Different price
The price of laser marking machine is more expensive than that of pneumatic marking machine. The price of pneumatic marking machine is generally about 1,000 USD to 2,000 USD while the price of laser marking machine ranges from 2,000 USD to 10,000 USD. You can choose according to your own demands. If you need to print deep traces on metal, choose a pneumatic marking machine, and if you require beautiful and high-precision products, choose a laser marking machine.
