In the world of laser Engravers, precision is everything. Whether you’re marking micro-sized text, 복잡한 패턴 조각, 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 레이저 have emerged as the preferred solution for applications that demand 좋은 세부 사항, clean edges, and minimal heat damage.
But what makes UV lasers stand out compared to CO₂ or fiber lasers? 그것을 분해하자.
1. The Science Behind UV Lasers
Unlike CO₂ (10.6 μm) 섬유 레이저 (1064 nm), UV 레이저 operate at a much shorter wavelength—typically 355 nm. This shorter wavelength interacts with materials differently, using a process called “cold marking” 또는 “cold processing”.
Key Characteristics:
- 최소 열 영향부 (haz): Reduces burning, 녹는, 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
💡 예: 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 넓은 재료 호환성—especially for sensitive and specialty surfaces.
| 재료 | UV Laser Advantage | Example Applications |
|---|---|---|
| 플라스틱 (ABS, PC, PVC) | No melting or discoloration | Electronics housings, keycaps |
| 유리 & 결정 | Fine, crack-free marking | 상, 음료수, luxury packaging |
| 도예 & Porcelain | Clean, permanent marking | Mugs, 타일, 의료기기 |
| 궤조 (Coated or Uncoated) | High-contrast marks | 의료 도구, watch parts |
| 가죽 & Organics | Subtle, 자세한 디자인 | 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.
| 특징 | CO2 레이저 | 파이버 레이저 | UV 레이저 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 파장 | 10.6 μm | 1064 nm | 355 nm |
| 가장 잘 사용됩니다 | 목재, 아크릴, 가죽 | 궤조, some plastics | 플라스틱, 유리, 세라믹, fine metals |
| Heat Damage | 높은 | 중간 | 낮은 |
| 세부 수준 | 중간 | 높은 | Very High |
| 소재의 다양성 | 중간 | 높은 | Very High |
