Laser Marking Machines -A Groundbreaking
Technology with Remarkable Benefits Today, there
is a variety of lasers used for the same purpose.
The three common types include the Neodymium
yttrium-aluminium-garnet (Nd-YAG), Neodymium (Nd)
and the CO2 laser engraving machine.

Laser marking machines are the tools of today
that are used to cut various materials, such as
metals. They even have a number of benefits.
This technology if often seen in industrial
manufacturing, however the uses have now been
explored in schools, small businesses and even
amongst hobbyists. These laser marking machines
are controlled through a computer. This process
is called a computer numerically controlled task,
or a CNC task. This simply means that a design
you need on something is created with the help
of a computer and then forwarded to the machine.
The machine is then able to create a design on
whatever material is under the laser. If a task
is boring and requires high engraving with high
power, then the Nd-YAG laser works best. When
the task at hand is boring and requires a lot of
energy with low repetition, the Nd laser fits
perfectly to this requirement. The third type,
the CO2 laser engraving machine is used for
slow, cutting and engraving. Laser cutting or
engraving has several benefits. Firstly, using
these machines, the manufacturing costs can be
reduced be eliminating the need for machining,
required in some engineering jobs. Secondly, the
laser marking technology allows the creation of
complicated shapes with high level of precision.
Contamination of work pieces is not an issue with
laser cutting and the chances of warping are
reduced greatly with the implementation of this
technology. Lastly, there are some materials
available that are almost impossible to cut
without a CO2 laser engravingmachine or the other
two types mentioned above.

• The main drawback to using laser marking machines
  is that they require a lot of power. Here are a
  few tips to help you turnout your design the way
  you want
• Avoid intricate designs After the metal is
  heated, the laser cutters are not able to cut
  with high detailing and with extreme accuracy.
• Avoid sharp angles Avoid anything, which is
  generally less than 10 degrees. The laser will
  not be able cut such sharp turns with accuracy,
  which will ultimately result in a more rounded
  end product.
• Laser cutting is a technology commonly and widely
  used in industrial manufacturing. It not only
  presents several benefits, but also claims high
  quality final results. Common usage of these
  laser marking machines include cutting of
  structural components, sheet laser cutting and
  piping.
