1How To Choose A Laser Engraving Machine
2Laser engraving machine is a growing method of
product identification, decoration and
personalization. There are several types
including CO2 laser, fiber lasers and any number
of other wavelengths.
3First of all it should be known that there are a
number of very reputable vendors in the market,
any of which can supply you with a good, reliable
machine. However there are also some very poor
pieces of equipment available also.
4Do your homework and research the company's
reputation not only related to the equipment
itself but also how they are known to take care
of their customers after the machine has been
installed. Don't believe anyone who tells you
that there won't be little issues with the lasers
from time to time.
5How the company deals with service is critical.
Often people choose equipment only on prices and
don't weigh the value or return on investment.
For an example if the laser takes two minutes to
do a job but you need it done in one minute,
regardless of the cost it will take twice your
time and resources to complete the project.
6If you amortize that formula over a given period
of time you can calculate what your ROI will be
based on a certain number of parts. Consider the
cost and what you can afford, but don't forget
about the payback. If you spend 7,000 and the
machine can't do the job, what you have really
done is wasted 7,000.
7If you spend 14,000 and it can do the job, plus
do more than you expect, the machine pays for
itself in short order. lasers come in a myriad of
different configurations. You can choose from
engraving area, laser power, air cooled versus
water cooled, linear marking speeds and many
other smaller but critical decision points.
8Consider your application carefully when making
your decision. Make sure the laser is capable of
what you are planning to do now AND what you
might do in a year. If your budget allows that
you can afford the next higher wattage machine or
the larger engraving area make that commitment.
9None of us go in to business to not grow. We all
expect increased business, so try to position
yourself to take advantage of that, when the
opportunity arises. Consider the environment
where the laser will operate when making your
decision on a laser engraver.
10Some material such as acrylic and other plastics,
rubber, wood etc. put of smoke, debris and door
that can be pretty bad and in some cases toxic.
Select a company/machine that has a range of
exhaust systems to choose from.
11Consider that there could even be local EPA
regulations that restrict expelling fumes into
the air, and that you may need a self-contained,
filtered exhaust system. Plus if you have ever
smelled rubber burning you could have some really
unhappy neighbours if you don't capture the fumes.
12These types of lasers all output like a printer,
with a printer driver package similar to the one
on your desk. These packages have varying levels
of sophistication and tools that help you
optimize the lasing experience. Make sure you get
a demonstration of the printer driver software so
you know what you are getting into.
13The basics should include a simple and
straightforward user interface, optimization
tools and the ability for the software to be
configured for various models of equipment. Most
company representatives will be happy to sit down
with you and provide a detailed demonstration.
