How to Match Laser Source and Lens for Maximum Engraving Efficiency

Când utilizați a gravator cu laser, matching the right laser source with the proper field lens isn’t just a technicality—it’s the secret to maximizing your engraving precision, putere, si viteza. Indiferent dacă lucrați cu metal, plastic, sau ceramica, understanding how these two core components interact will directly impact the quality of your results. This guide will help you pair them effectively based on your material and application.


Understanding the Laser Source and Its Role

Before diving into lens selection, let’s review the three most common laser sources:

Tip laserLungime de undăCel mai bun pentruExample Materials
Co₂ laser10,600 nmOrganic materialsLemn, acril, Piele
Laser cu fibra1,064 nmMetalele & materiale plastice dureOţel inoxidabil, aluminiu, ABS
Laser UV355 nmHeat-sensitive & fine detail workPlastic, sticlă, ceramică

Fiecare laser source emits light at a specific lungime de undă, which affects how well it is absorbed by the target material. This is crucial because poor absorption means weak marking or even surface damage.


Choosing the Right Field Lens (F-Theta Lens)

The field lens, also called an F-theta lens, determines your engraving area and focus characteristics. Important factors include:

  • Distanță focală (de ex., 100mm, 200mm): Shorter focal lengths = smaller working area, tighter focus = higher detail.
  • Dimensiunea spotului: Smaller spot size = higher precision, but less depth.
  • Distortion: A good F-theta lens minimizes edge distortion in large working fields.

Typical Pairings for Efficiency

Tip laserTypical F-Theta LensUse Case
Co₂63.5mm or 100mmCutting/engraving wood or acrylic signs
Fibră160mm or 254mmDeep metal engraving or color marking
UV110mm or 150mmQR code etching on plastics, IC chips, glass bottles

Sfat: For the ComMarker Omni 1 Gravoare cu laser UV, a 110mm field lens gives excellent accuracy on small plastics, while a 150mm lens is better for glass or ceramic surfaces.


Matching Considerations That Matter

  1. Compatibilitate cu lungimea de undă
    A lens designed for 1064nm (fibră) won’t transmit 355nm (UV) effectively. Make sure your lens matches your laser source wavelength.
  2. Engraving Area vs. Precizie
    Larger field lenses cover more surface area, but with a larger spot size. If you’re marking fine logos or QR codes, use a smaller lens.
  3. Material Type
    • Metal: Laser cu fibră + 254mm lens for coverage or 160mm for depth.
    • Plastic: Laser UV + 110mm lens = crisp, high contrast.
    • Organic: Co₂ + 63.5mm = fine details on wood or leather.
