Inquire

    Many people are entangled in choosing a pneumatic marking machine or laser marking machine and do not understand the difference between the two machines. This article introduces the difference between the two machines from different aspects. You can refer to the machine to choose the one that suits you.



Principle


1.1The principle of laser marking machine:


    The laser beam with extremely high energy density is irradiated to the surface of the product under the control of the computer, and the surface of the product is instantly melted or vaporized, thereby leaving the concave traces we need on the surface of the product.



1.2 The principle of pneumatic marking machine:


    Input the content we want to print into the computer, and the computer converts it into a digital signal and transmits it to the controller. Under the action of compressed air, the marking needle makes a high-frequency micro-impact movement, hitting the surface of the product and forming concave marks on the surface of the product.


Application


2.1 Laser marking machine


     It is suitable for metal and non-metal and is currently mainly used on some occasions that require more finesse and higher precision, such as electronic components, integrated circuits (IC), electrical appliances, mobile communications, hardware products, tool accessories, precision instruments, glasses and clocks, jewelry, auto parts, plastic buttons, building materials, PVC pipes, food packaging.

2.2 Pneumatic marking machine


    It is used for metal marking and non-metal with relatively hard hardness, such as various mechanical parts, machine tools, hardware products, metal pipes, gears, pump bodies, valves, fasteners, steel, instruments, electrical and mechanical equipment, etc.

Advantages


3.1 Laser marking machine


No noise, no need to wear earplugs to operate the machine.

High speed, marking speed <70000mm/s

High output, can be combined with a conveyor belt for assembly line operation

A wide range of applications, equipped with suitable laser sources according to different processing materials of customers, can process any material

No consumables, the laser source has a service life of 100,000 hours, and there are no consumables during use

The development and design speed is faster, because of the integration of laser equipment and electronic information technology, customers can keep the laser output printing if they write a computer program, and can convert design ideas anytime and anywhere

Smooth surface, permanent marking, no damage to the material surface, no need for secondary processing



3.2 Pneumatic marking machine


    Low cost, low price, generally more than 10,000 yuan. The operation is very simple, the marking content is single, and the stability is high. Long lifespan, with an average lifespan of up to 10 years. Low energy consumption, ultra-low power consumption, two-hour electricity.



Disadvantages


4.1 Laser marking machine


    The price is higher than the pneumatic marking machine

    Wear protective glasses during operation, do not touch or look directly at the laser

4.2 Pneumatic marking machine


The noise is loud, and it is easy to damage the operator's hearing when working for a long time.

Takes a long time. The pneumatic marking machine mainly marks on metal and has depth requirements, so the speed of marking is not as fast as that of the laser marking machine. It takes 1-5 seconds or longer to mark a character, depending on depth.

The output is low and large constraints, which is not suitable for the application of the assembly line enterprise.

The application is narrow, only metal and non-metal materials with hardness below HRC60 can be processed, and it is difficult to process hard metals.

Can not design, can only mark fixed letters and numbers.

There are consumables, the firing pin is a consumable and needs to be replaced regularly.

The surface has burrs and is not smooth, and a second process is required to clean the burrs.

There is depth when marking, which will destroy the surface of the product material.

Price



    The price of a laser marking machine is slightly more expensive than that of a pneumatic marking machine. You can choose according to your own needs. If you need to print deep marks on the metal, and the processing volume is small, choose a pneumatic marking machine. For those who require a beautiful appearance, high precision, and large-scale processing, choose a laser marking machine.
