Features of 3W 5W UV Laser Engraving Machine

• Branded UV laser source from RFH laser technology with available power options of 3W and 5W. The UV laser is cooled by water; therefore, the machine comes equipped with a chiller.

• A high-speed marking head is vital for a good laser machine. EAG-5U comes with an SG2206 high-speed marking head from Sino-Galvo, the best brand in China.

• Branded field lens from Beijing CSDQ with 110x110mm engraving area. More area options like 175x175mm and 200x200mm are available as well.

• To facilitate users to operate the machine, all the buttons and switches on the operation panel are labeled in English.

• There is a specific location designated for placing the computer's host in the machine.

• One side of the machine chassis has multiple heat dissipation holes and all the aviation plugs at the bottom are labeled in English.

Advantages of UV Laser Engraver You Can Expect

• Damage Free Marking: Different from the 1064nm wavelength of a fiber laser, the ultraviolet laser has a 355nm wavelength. The absorption rate of UV laser is very high for a wide range of materials. This allows it to perform cold marking, that is, marking with minimal thermal stress. This marking attribute reduces the thermal damage to the material's surface to a negligible level, thus, achieving a corrosion-resistant mark. The property is especially true for highly reflective materials such as gold, silver, and copper, as well as heat-sensitive materials such as glass, rubber, ceramics, and plastics.

• High Contrast Marking: The material absorption rate of UV lasers is significantly higher compared with fiber lasers. That is to say, the ultraviolet laser can get high-constrast marks by using less power, with the confidence that the mark is damage-free. When it comes to the UV laser machine, the combination of a high-quality laser beam and a small beam spot, coupled with a high-speed engraving head dedicated to UV lasers, allows us to achieve extremely fine marking results and high precision. And the mark is permanent.

• UV lasers have low power consumption.

• The UV laser engraving machine is maintenance-free.

Applications of UV Laser Machine

Applicable Materials

Due to the high absorption rate, the UV laser engraver is ideal for marking difficult materials including: 

• Heat-sensitive materials: such as glass, crystal, silicone, rubber, ceramic, plastic, etc.

• High reflective metals: gold, silver, copper, etc. 

Applicable Field

The 5W UV laser engraver is good for engraving / marking applications like:

• Products or Crafts made of glass, quart, and crystal. A common feature of these products is that they are extremely difficult to mark because they are prone to cracks and are relatively heat-resistant; only the gentle marking technology of a UV laser machine can create visible and delicate marks on them, in the meantime, it will not cause the material to crack.

• Small Electronic Parts of 3C products: With technology developing, the electrical components used in 3C products become smaller and smaller, so their sealing resins have to become thinner and thinner. If a fiber laser is used to mark such a product, there is a risk that the energy will pass through the sealing resin and damage the internal components. The high material absorption rate of UV laser can make up for this shortcoming of fiber laser; it can mark the sealing resin without risking damage to the internal components.

• Aerospace Components & Medical Devices: No thermal damage is allowed in these areas; UV laser’s cold marking process allows us to mark them without any thermal damage.

• Heat-sensitive materials: silicone, plastic, colored plastics.

FAQs Concerning the EagleTec CNC UV Laser Engraver

Q: What Can a UV Laser Engraver Do?

A: A UV laser engraver can mark almost all non-metal and metal materials. However, its extremely high absorption rate and 355nm wavelength make it a powerful tool for engraving on materials with high melting points, such as glass or metal, without requiring high power. Furthermore, due to the high absorption rate, the UV laser does not cause any thermal damage to the material. This is a highlight that differs from fiber and CO2 lasers.

Q: What Is the Lifespan of A UV Laser?

A: The service lifespan of a UV laser generator would range from 12,000 to 14,000 hours on average.

Q: What Is the Difference Between UV Laser And Fiber Laser?

A: The two primely have the following three differences.

• Different Wavelengths: In comparison to the 1064nm wavelength of fiber laser, the UV laser only has 355nm.

• Different Absorption Rate: The UV laser has a much higher absorption rate than the fiber laser.

• Different Power Consumption: Due to the higher absorption rate, the UV laser has a lower power consumption than the fiber laser.

• Different Applications: It is precisely because of the characteristics of UV laser that it can engrave glass or crystal without any thermal damage to the material; fiber laser cannot.

Q: Can UV Laser Cut Wood?

A: Yes, it can. But thin wood sheet only, usually no bigger than 2 or 3mm.

Q: Can UV Laser Engrave Metal?

A: Yes, sure. It is able to engrave on metal materials.
