Feedback on Galvo Fiber Lasers

[Mike Avena]

Looking for owners with experience / opinions / cautions...

I am currently considering a galvo fiber to do Stainless and Brass Tags. Looking for a faster/better mark than we get with our Trotec Speedy 300 Flex 80w CO2 / 30W Fiber.

Have looked at Tykma , Laserstar and Trotec Speedmarker.

Would prefer US Based mfg / dist for support.

Any insights? Thanks

It all really depends on the mark you are trying to achieve - black or deep. A black mark is really only done with Cermark on a CO2 laser, and deep with a galvo fiber. Check out Jimani, they have great lasers and amazing support!

I hate to say it, but I'd buy Chinese direct for fiber. Way cheaper than any US based and if you get from one of the reputable builders, not eBay, you have support for the warranty period. You can buy 2 or 3 even with the additional tariffs for one US. Just say'n.
