What Is the Difference Between CO2, Fiber, UV, and YAG Laser Sources?
CO2 Lasers: Ideal for non-metallic materials such as wood, acrylic, glass, leather, and plastics, as well as some coated metals. Best suited for cutting and engraving.
Fiber Lasers: Highly efficient for marking, engraving, and cutting metals such as stainless steel, aluminum, and brass. Require minimal maintenance.
UV Lasers: Provide high-contrast marking on heat-sensitive materials like plastics and glass using a "cold" process.
YAG Lasers: Suitable for deep engraving and spot welding on metals, commonly used in gold and silver jewelry and precision molds.

Specialized Software: Optional modules for 3D processing, vision systems, and production monitoring are available for advanced applications.
How Do I Determine the Right Laser Power for My Needs?
Power depends on your application:
Low Power (20–50W): Engraving, marking, and cutting thin materials (paper, fabrics, thin plastics).
Medium Power (60–150W): General-purpose cutting of acrylic, wood, thin metals, and light welding.
High Power (150–1000W+): Industrial cutting of thick metals, high-speed processing, and heavy-duty welding.
Our engineers can help determine optimal power based on material type, thickness, and production requirements.
What Are the Electrical Requirements for Your Machines?
Desktop Systems: 110V/220V single-phase, 15–20A
Industrial Systems: 380V/480V three-phase, 30–100A
Special Requirements: High-power machines may need dedicated transformers or power conditioning. Detailed specifications are included with each product.
What Working Area Size Do I Need?
The ideal working area depends on the size of your largest workpiece and workflow. Standard sizes range from 300×300 mm to 1300×2500 mm. Fully customized solutions are available.
