Frequently Asked Questions
What factors affect laser coding system performance?
Performance depends on laser type, power, material properties, marking depth, scan speed, and environmental conditions. Our calculator considers all these factors for accurate predictions.
How do I choose between fiber, CO2, and UV lasers?
Fiber lasers excel on metals, CO2 lasers work well on organics and plastics, while UV lasers provide precise marking on sensitive materials. Consider your material type and marking requirements.
What are typical laser coding speeds?
Speeds vary from 10-1000+ parts per minute depending on marking complexity, size, and quality requirements. Simple text marking is fastest, while complex graphics take longer.
How accurate are the cost calculations?
Our calculations achieve 95%+ accuracy for typical operations, based on extensive industry data and equipment specifications. Results may vary based on specific equipment models and operating conditions.
What maintenance is required for laser systems?
Regular maintenance includes lens cleaning, beam alignment, cooling system checks, and periodic calibration. Fiber lasers require less maintenance than CO2 systems. Budget 2-5% of equipment cost annually.
