In china the laser engraver market is getting more and more competitive, 7 years ago a device like this cost like 6000EUR. today is like >1000eur if you buy it from china. The Chinese generic brands all have tiny flaws here and there. My company has 12 laser fibre engravers. Commarker is actually the most robust machine in terms of quality.
I would consider you pretty familiar with laser engravers and as such the best impartial person to turn to for my question. Setting aside speed efficiency in terms of profit(still should be quick for my own sanity), for a prototyping shop what laser system would you recommend for engraving primarily steels and tool steel up to 0.015-0.020” (0.35-0.5mm) with maybe occasional carbide/ceramics to half that but not nearly as a priority? [I’m assuming if it can handle these then other materials like aluminum, brass, bronze, cast iron, copper would be just as capable if i’m wrong, plz correct] I’ve been looking for a setup that can engrave deep Identification onto the above materials as traditional punch engraving isn’t practical and existing laser engravings rub off or become damaged & illegible. Some tooling with existing “scratch pass” from laser engraving gets worn away so quickly that it disrupts workflow, leads to costly mistakes and in general aggravates to the point of necessitating change. While there are definitely many other systems and methods that can be employed to minimize these issues, for my specific situation the most fool proof and reliable is to have tools with permanent engravings (something like the big deeply embedded numbering on impact sockets where at a glance the important information is immediately visible). I would never dream of holding someone else accountable for their opinion so any feedback or signposts would help immensely in narrowing down all the different competing models and stretched marketing strategies.
Mostly vaporized, some is turned to fine dust/powder that settles on the base and work bench. Not sure what sort of effect the laser has on the properties of particulates that aren't completely vaporized or if it's in a condition to be reused (I assume you would want to recycle as much 'waste' as possible). Ventilation is a must either way.
Hey dude. Glad o found your channel, work place just purchased 30w fiber laser and I'm happy to play with it. Where could I get this speed Vs power grid so I can try various material here. Thanks
Tell your boss to get Lightburn software if they don't already have it (make sure to get the galvo license). It's the best control software for lasers imo. Use the material test tool that's included in the software to create test grids quick and easy with any parameter ranges that you want to try. Check out my other fiber laser videos to see how to use Lightburn's material test tool for reference.
@@JamesBiggar At 6:37 then how did you turn the unmarked aluminum business cards blue, black and gold if there was no coating on them to start? Is that some special alloy you're using?
I never said there was no coating on them to start with. I said that I didn't apply a coating to anything, because I didn't. Those are blanks made by a manufacturer who cuts and coats them for sale. You can buy them in a variety of thicknesses and colors, like a lot of laser engraving materials. Business cards, dog tags, tumblers, coasters, etc. Google it.
If you put a coating on the glass first. Fiber and diode lasers travel through clear material with no effect. You need to darken the surface in order to focus the laser energy into it to engrave. This can be done with a variety of methods like a permanent marker, paint, or other coatings that are designed specifically for engraving glass which will easily wash off with water and leave a better finish (CerMark, for ex). To engrave clear materials without applying coatings first, you would need a CO2 engraver.
Yes. Traffolyte is specifically made for laser and router engraving. This machine can mark and engrave almost any type of metal or plastic. I haven't seen a material that it doesn't unless it's clear plastic. Fiber lasers won't engrave clear plastic regardless of type unless it's pretreated first with a laser marking coating, paint, or anything to give it color, but results will vary.
Not bare glass because it won't absorb the fiber laser's wavelength, but it can with a pretreatment like a marking spray (Cermark or Enduramark), black ink, permanent marker, etc. Anything to prevent the laser from passing straight through the glass unimpeded. If you're looking for a machine that can engrave bare glass (and any other material using a fraction of the power to produce the same result), check out my latest review of ComMarker's new Omni 1 UV laser.

if it can do metal then it can do anything softer too depending on your settings of course.. but be careful because materials like pvc may release chemicals that is harmful to the laser machine itself.

this one is 20W???
Well done, James! Thanks for sharing it
It's a great machine, thx for the opportunity!
Can it engrave on 118 mild and 4140 steel ?
@@rexmiller6369 Yeap
Love the jobs ! Great machine, now I need to work x3 to earn enough to order ;)
Absolutely stunning work! Can't wait to try it out myself! 🙌

good to know. where can I go and get your price?😂😂 best wishes❤
My friend I need to buy one fiber engraver. Can you help me to choose the right model? Thanks
DANG!!! That was great!
Sabe dizer qual é melhor? Essa do seu vídeo ou a Mr. Carver M1 Pró?
amazzing gracias porque tu no escondes nada lo dices sin esperar nada a cambio GOD bless
Do a video engraving onto a golf club . How would it do on uneven surfaces ?
Je ne connais cette marque, merci pour les informations c’est intéressant , amicalement France
Hi James, thanks for the video and demonstration. I would like to know which model are you using in this video?
very informative video, thanks
allow me to be the other cheesy viewer who celebrates being the 4th commenter on the list. Great video. Short, concise, to the point. Nice work
Hi! Great video, thank you! Quick question: How about brushed stainless steel? How deep of an engraving could we get with this 20W machine?
Thanks! You can work any metal. Without resetting the focal distance I was able to engrave down to 0.5mm deep.
@@JamesBiggar thank you!
Are the engraving sounds at the very beginning of the video original? They remind me the SFX of an Atari 2600 game that I played way back.
You bet!
How much is it?

How many watts?
And how do one active the debit cards again
where does the removed metal go? I was thinking of using this in my jewelry business.

Can i use this to make metal molds to make medals?
Que precio tiene, estoy interesada
When lasers sounds like early 80's arcade machines.
Where did you buy the laser bed slat you have around timestamp 13:27? Thanks
Thanks a lot this video has helped but can it be used for wooden and acrylic jobs
Metal and plastics only, as mentioned. Not wood.
Essa é a velocidade de gravação dela? Ou o vídeo está acelerado?
Both. If you see an engraving start slow then speed up, the slow portion is real speed.
can it be used to engraved shape like a Hardhat?
Price clear

Whats the largest size it can engrave and the thickest metal please
How many W?
20w?
Would this work on .999 silver?
I'm into stacking silver and thinking about making my own rounds
Yes.
سلام من در ایرانم آیا میتوانم از شما این دستگاه را بخرم
I wonder if you can advice if this machine is good for jewelry gold silver to marking cutting name pendant with different fonts ?
Yes, absolutely. It can engrave or mark any metal and most plastics. It's a great tool for a jeweler.
Would this be strong enough to engrave handguns and rifles?
Yes.
@JamesBiggar thanks for the reply! You think I should go up to 50w just to make sure I have enough power for continual work?
Can you please say what type of coating you use for the metal tags and cards? Is this paint, powdercoat, electroplate?
Not sure what you mean. I didn't apply a coating to anything, but you can mark any of those.

Will it have like burn smell after?
Depends on the material, but yes - they will produce an odor in the air. Ventilation of some kind is necessary.
Hi how much is the pricing for your engraving. I mean how do you mark up
Can you do knife blades with it?
Yes.
Can i do bottles on this

Can any fiber engraver make the 3D effect?
Will it cut copper clad sheet?
It can cut and engrave any metal to a depth/thickness of 0.3mm
Can it do colors? (Im typing this message prematurely, while watching the video)
What price this machine
Le prix c'est combien ??
does it engrave on powder coated crca sheet?
Yes

is there one that costs less than $300 and can engrave half a millimeter in steel?
Come back in 5 years we will set you up.
Excelente ♥️♥️🌈👍👽
What is the price for one of these?
Depends. See the link.
