In the world of laser Engravers, precision is everything. Whether you’re marking micro-sized text, 複雑な模様を彫刻する, or working with delicate materials, the quality of your final product depends heavily on the laser source you choose. Over the past few years, UVレーザー have emerged as the preferred solution for applications that demand fine detail, clean edges, and minimal heat damage.
But what makes UV lasers stand out compared to CO₂ or fiber lasers? Let’s break it down.
1. The Science Behind UV Lasers
Unlike CO₂ (10.6 μm) およびファイバーレーザー (1064 nm), UVレーザー operate at a much shorter wavelength—typically 355 nm. This shorter wavelength interacts with materials differently, using a process called “cold marking” また “cold processing”.
Key Characteristics:
- Minimal Heat-Affected Zone (危険有害性): Reduces burning, melting, or warping
- Higher Absorption Rate: Works well on materials that are transparent or reflective to other wavelengths
- Smaller Spot Size: Allows for extremely fine lines and intricate detail
💡 例: While a fiber laser might struggle to engrave clear acrylic without melting, a UV laser can produce a crisp, frosted finish with no cracks or burn marks.
2. Materials That Benefit from UV Laser Engraving
One of the reasons UV lasers are gaining popularity is their 幅広い材料互換性—especially for sensitive and specialty surfaces.
| 材料 | UV Laser Advantage | Example Applications |
|---|---|---|
| プラスチック (ABS, パソコン, PVC) | No melting or discoloration | Electronics housings, keycaps |
| ガラス & 結晶 | Fine, crack-free marking | Awards, ドリンクウェア, luxury packaging |
| セラミックス & Porcelain | Clean, permanent marking | Mugs, タイル, 医療機器 |
| 金属 (Coated or Uncoated) | High-contrast marks | Medical tools, watch parts |
| レザー & Organics | 微妙, 詳細なデザイン | Luxury goods, branding logos |
3. UV Lasers vs CO₂ and Fiber Lasers
Each laser type has its strengths, but UV lasers excel where fine detail and surface integrity matter most.
| 特徴 | CO₂ Laser | ファイバーレーザー | UVレーザー |
|---|---|---|---|
| 波長 | 10.6 μm | 1064 nm | 355 nm |
| Best Use | 木材, アクリル, レザー | 金属, いくつかのプラスチック | プラスチック, ガラス, セラミックス, fine metals |
| Heat Damage | 高い | Medium | Low |
| Detail Level | Medium | 高い | Very High |
| 物質的な汎用性 | Medium | 高い | Very High |
