I am in the market for a fiber laser marking/engraving machine.
My intended use will be, engraving steel. I have included some images that, while not the exact application are similar in scale and the detail required.
The engraved depth would be in the 1.0mm-2.5mm range. A typical engraved area would be about 9.5mm x 9.5mm up to 35mm x 35mm in size.
Does anyone have firsthand experience doing this type of work?
How long would it take to complete an engraving like this?
What wattage of laser was used?
What area and depth was engraved?
Also what exactly is the difference between a 20W laser and a 30W laser from the same laser manufacturer, performance wise? From reading literally hundreds of spec sheets from various Chinese laser engraver sellers on eBay, Aliexpress, Alibaba and IndiaMart. I'm really not much more informed than I was before I started. It seams like there are only a handful of differing spec sheets that have been copied and pasted by almost all the sellers you can visit.
Since a 30W laser is 1.5 times as powerful as a 20W laser.
Can a 30W laser remove the same material as a 20W but 1.5 times as deep per pass?
Can a 30W laser remove the same material as a 20W 1.5 times faster at the same depth per pass?
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
