Brass is a copper and zinc-composed material that gives a golden-yellow appearance. Engraved brass is often treated as premium by almost everyone. Metal aser engraving involves a laser machine to place designs on the surface of the brass or any…
Metal laser engraving is possible with a fiber or an infrared laser. Laser engraving on metal is a process where a laser beam melts a layer of the metal substance and engraves a pre-given design. You can also make any…
A fiber laser is a type of laser that uses an active optical fiber as the gain medium. The optical fiber is doped with rare–earth elements such as erbium, ytterbium, or neodymium. Fiber lasers use a single–mode optical fiber as the gain medium, meaning that the light is kept as a single beam, as opposed to a multimode optical fiber, which allows multiple beams of light to travel through it. Fiber lasers are more efficient and require less power than traditional lasers and can be used for applications such as cutting, welding, marking, and engraving industrial sheet metals along with stainless steel, copper, and Titanium. There are mainly two types of fiber laser, MOPA fiber laser and Q-switched fiber laser. The main difference between the MOPA and Q-switched fiber is laser is: You…
laser engravers are not trouble-free. You may face some common problems such as power cut, precision error, non-movement of laser diode, jammed gantry, inaccurate focus and inaccurate resolution. There are other issues as well. If you are a small crafter,…
When it comes to laser engraving, the LaserPecker 4 and LaserPecker 3 have some significant differences. The LaserPecker 4 is the newest model in the LaserPecker series, and it has many features that the LaserPecker 3 does not. The laserpecker 4 is faster, has larger engraving area, and can handle wider materials compared to the laserpecker 3 (older version). The best part is, laserpecker 4 incorporated a dust removal system that helps in faster engraving with better…
The xTool F1 Ultra is a 20W galvo fiber laser with 10,000 mm/s engraving speed. The F1 ultra is an upgraded version of the F1, which appeared with a powerful 20W fiber laser (infrared spectrum) along with another 20W blue…
We made a several trial operation with the xTool F1, a dual laser engraver with a diode land infrared laser mainly suitable for cutting wood, acrylic, and engraving metal. We treat this as a portable fiber laser alternative with a…
The S1 laser engraver is in the hype, right? Well, just blew the market! Have you ever thought that a diode laser does the same as an expensive CO2 laser machine? Well, xTool S1 is the next-generation laser cutter &…
Do you know that xTool P2 is the fastest laser engraver now? Not only that! It features plenty of features that no one has… Its a 55-watt CO2 laser having an engraving speed of more than 600 mm per second…
Cleaning the laser tube of a CO2 laser cutter is an important part of maintaining the health of the machine. Cleaning the laser tube will ensure that the laser cutter is functioning properly and at its maximum efficiency. Cleaning the tube requires special attention. Before beginning the cleaning process, make sure all safety precautions are taken and that all safety equipment is in place. Once the safety precautions are in place, follow these steps to ensure a thorough and safe cleaning of the laser tube. If you are using CO2 lasers for high precision job such as metal tumbler engraving, a scheduled cleaning would help to achieve the maximum precision. CO2 laser tube cleaning – Step-by-step…
