With China Chip, Will The Prices Of Domestic Fiber Laser Marking Machines And Ultraviolet Laser Marking Machines Significantly Decrease?

The research and development of domestic laser generators are changing rapidly. With the entry of Ruike Laser Technology into the domestic capital market, China's independently developed laser generators will further narrow the gap with foreign laser giants such as IPG. With China Chip, the price advantage of domestic laser generators is significant compared to foreign laser generators, which reduces the cost of downstream laser installation and greatly reduces the price of laser marking machines in the market. This has played a very good role in promoting the application and promotion of laser marking machines, especially ultraviolet laser marking machines. Laser marking machines are widely used in various industries due to their beautiful printing effect and clear fonts that are not easily erased. However, many users have found that there is a huge price difference between fiber laser marking machines and ultraviolet laser marking machines, and the range of work and use also varies greatly. Although both belong to laser marking machines, the laser generators of fiber laser marking machines and ultraviolet laser marking machines are different, and their configuration prices also vary greatly. Fiber laser marking machines generally use laser generators of 20 watts, 30 watts, 50 watts, and higher; UV laser marking machines generally use laser generators of 3 watts, 5 watts, and 10 watts. Therefore, the fundamental reason for the price difference between fiber laser marking machines and UV laser marking machines is the different configurations and working principles of laser generators. In recent years, laser marking machines have become more and more widely used, coupled with the fact that laser machines do not use consumables and are basically disposable, and maintenance during use is also minimal, reducing the cost of replacing accessories; ​with the rise of environmental protection trends, environmental issues are becoming increasingly important, which is also the reason why more manufacturers are choosing lasers. In this trend, Chengdu Linservice Industrial Inkjet Printing Technology Co., Ltd. has also transformed from a seller of laser printers to a manufacturer, providing customers with high-quality laser jet marking services. Today, Chengdu Linservice will analyze why there is such a significant price difference between UV laser marking machines and other laser marking machines.​

In the laser machine industry, divided by low, medium, and high, commonly used models can be represented by these three types of laser marking machines. The low-end model is a semiconductor laser engraving machine, the mid-end model is also the most popular fiber laser marking machine, and the relatively high-end model is a UV laser marking machine. The reason why this model is called high-end is that it has a wide range of applications, and the marked effect cannot be achieved by other models. Generally, products marked with it are also relatively high-end, such as Apple phones, iPads, and so on. Another reason is the word 'expensive'. Indeed, as a high-end device, the laser accessory used - the laser - is much higher than other models. Now let's talk about the UV laser marking machine! The laser in the UV laser marking machine has an advantage that other lasers do not have, which is the ability to limit thermal stress. This is because most UV laser systems operate at low power. By using a process sometimes referred to as' cold ablation ', the beam of ultraviolet laser generates a reduced heat affected zone, which is widely used in the manufacturing of circuit boards.

The beam of the UV laser in the UV laser marking machine will generate a reduced heat affected zone, which can minimize the impact of edge machining, carbonization, and other thermal stresses. However, the use of higher power lasers usually has these negative effects. In addition, based on years of experience in the application of laser marking machines, Chengdu Linservice believes that the wavelength of ultraviolet lasers is shorter than that of visible light, so they are invisible to the naked eye and have less impact on the human body during use. Although you may not be able to see these laser beams, it is these short waves that allow the UV laser to focus more accurately, producing extremely fine circuit characteristics while maintaining excellent positioning accuracy.

Another important factor is that the temperature of the workpiece is low, and the high-energy photons in the ultraviolet ray make it possible for the ultraviolet laser to be applied to large PCB circuit board combinations, from standard materials such as FR4 to high-frequency ceramic composites and flexible PCB materials including polyimide. The absorption rates of three common PCB materials under the action of six different lasers. The six lasers commonly used by Chengdu Linservice include excimer laser (wavelength: 248 nm), infrared laser (wavelength: 1064 nm), and two CO2 lasers (wavelength: 9.4 μ M and 10.6 μ m).​ Ultraviolet laser (Nd: YAG, wavelength 355nm) is a rare laser with consistent absorption rates among three materials.

The UV laser marking machine shows extremely high absorption when applied to resin and copper, and also has an appropriate absorption rate when processing glass. Only the expensive excimer laser (wavelength 248 nm) can obtain better overall absorption when processing these main materials. The differences in this material make UV lasers the best choice for various PCB material applications in many industrial fields, from producing the most basic circuit boards, circuit wiring, to producing pocket embedded chips and other advanced processes. So the price is also much higher than that of fiber laser marking machines.
