Выбор правильного laser source is one of the most critical decisions when buying a лазерный гравер. Whether you’re customizing wood gifts, marking metal tools, or personalizing glassware, your engraver’s performance—and limits—are defined by the type of laser it uses. В этой статье, we’ll break down the core types of laser sources (Коэффициент, волокно, и УФ), explore their differences in wavelength and power, and help you decide which one suits your real-world needs.
What Is a Laser Source? (CO₂ vs Fiber vs UV)
A laser source in a лазерный гравер is the component that emits the high-energy beam used to mark or cut materials. Different source types use different physics—and that greatly affects what materials they can engrave.
| Тип | Длина волны | Лучшее для | Common Use Cases |
|---|---|---|---|
| Коэффициент | 10,600 нм | Organic materials like wood, кожа, акрил | Crafting, вывески, упаковка |
| Волокно | 1064 нм | Металлы, твердый пластик | Metal tags, инструменты, промышленные детали |
| УФ | 355 нм | Heat-sensitive materials like plastic, стекло, керамика | Precision marking, электроника, медицинское оборудование |
✅ Кончик: The shorter the wavelength, the better it handles fine, heat-sensitive, or brittle materials.
Why Wavelength Matters: Matching to Materials
The длина волны of the laser determines how deeply and cleanly it interacts with specific materials.
- Co₂ лазеры (10,600 нм) are absorbed well by non-metals, making them ideal for engraving wood, акрил, бумага, и кожа.
- Волоконные лазеры (1064 нм) penetrate metals effectively due to higher photon energy at that wavelength.
- УФ лазеры (355 нм), like those used in the КомМаркер Омни 1, are absorbed on the surface without heat buildup, making them perfect for plastics, стекло, и керамика.
Power vs Efficiency: Does Higher Wattage Mean Better Engraving?
Not always.
- Higher wattage means faster marking or deeper engraving—but only when paired with the right wavelength and lens system.
- A 5W UV laser can outperform a 20W fiber laser on plastic or glass, because the UV wavelength interacts better with those materials.
Here’s an example from real tests using the КомМаркер Омни 1 УФ лазерный гравер:
| Материал | Лазерный источник | Power Used | Результат |
|---|---|---|---|
| White ABS Plastic | УФ (355нм) | 5Вт | High-contrast black mark, no melting |
| Нержавеющая сталь | УФ (355нм) | 5Вт | Light surface mark only |
| Древесина | Коэффициент (10,600нм) | 40Вт | Deep and wide engraving |
Choosing the Right Laser Source: What to Consider
When deciding which лазерный гравер to buy, focus on:
- Material types you work with most
- Engraving depth vs. скорость (Do you need surface marks or deep cuts?)
- Level of detail (QR-коды, tiny text, тонкие линии? UV wins here)
- Бюджет (CO₂ lasers are usually more affordable for hobby use)
Real-World Use Case Examples
- A jewelry crafter working with gold and silver → Go for a волоконный лазер
- A DIY creator customizing tumblers and wood signs → Best with a CO₂ laser
- A startup marking logos on phone cases, очки, and ceramic mugs → Choose a УФ-лазер, как Омни 1
