Introduction

CO2 galvo laser marking systems are versatile tools used in various industries for marking a wide range of materials. These high-speed scanners employ CO2 lasers known for their efficiency and precision in marking organic materials. In this article, we provide an detailed review of the materials that can be marked by CO2 galvo lasers, along with specific parameters and a look at solutions offered by Huawo Laser Company.

Materials Suitable for CO2 Galvo Laser Marking

• Wood: Ideal for creating high-contrast marks without material degradation. Commonly used in producing custom designs and engravings.
• Glass: CO2 lasers can engrave glass surfaces, creating frosted images or text.
• Leather: Allows for precise branding, text marking, or decorative patterns.
• Paper and Cardboard: Used for high-speed marking of packaging materials.
• Acrylic: Produces clear, polished marks without the need for post-processing.
• Textiles: Suitable for marking synthetic and organic fabrics without fabric damage.
• Ceramics: The CO2 laser can mark ceramics, creating durable and clear markings.
• Plastics: Can effectively mark polymers such as polycarbonate and PET.

Detailed Parameter Analysis

The effectiveness of CO2 galvo laser marking depends on several factors including power, speed, frequency, and focus. Here are some standard parameters:

• Power: Typically set between 10 and 60 watts depending on material thickness and type. For instance, marking on glass may require 35 watts while paper may only need 10 watts.
• Speed: Typically ranges from 100 to 500 mm/s. Paper and cardboard can be marked at high speeds (up to 500 mm/s), whereas acrylic may require slower speeds around 200 mm/s to prevent melting.
• Frequency: Usually ranges from 5 kHz to 20 kHz. Higher frequencies are suited for materials like plastics.
• Focus: Spot size is critical. A smaller spot size is necessary for detailed marks, while larger sizes suffice for broad engravings.
