-
Extremely fine beam quality
-
High-resolution marking
-
Minimal thermal effect
-
Compatibility with a wide range of sensitive materials
Ideal materials include:
-
ABS, PVC, PET
-
Acrylic & Glass
-
Leather
-
Ceramics
-
Silicone & Rubber
-
Coated Surfaces
-
Medical Plastics
-
Electronic Components
-
Food & Cosmetic Packaging

Key Specifications of Our UV LaserMarking Machines
Choosing the right UV laser marking machine requires understanding the six core specifications that impact performance.
Laser Power (3W / 5W / 10W / 15W)
Laser power determines marking speed, clarity, and compatibility with different materials.
|
Power |
Ideal Application |
|
3W |
Ultra-fine marking on plastics, microchips, PCBs, packaging. |
|
5W |
Faster marking on polymers, coated surfaces, thin metals. |
|
10W |
Industrial coding, glass marking, and high-speed batch production. |
|
15W |
High-volume manufacturing, deep marking on harder materials. |
Rule of thumb: Higher wattage = faster marking + improved contrast.
For daily production involving plastics or electronics, 3W–5W is ideal.
Marking Area (110×110 mm to 300×300 mm)
The marking area depends on the F-Theta lens. Larger lenses provide more workspace but slightly reduce precision.
|
Lens/Area Options |
Best Use Case |
|
110×110 mm |
Highest precision for micro-marking and small components. |
|
160×160 mm |
Best balance of detail and workspace. |
|
180×180 mm |
Good for medium-sized packaging and plastic products. |
|
200×200 mm |
Larger components or multi-item marking. |
|
300×300 mm |
Signage, large packaging sheets, and oversized items. |
How to choose:
Small/precision items → 110–160 mm
Bulk or large items → 200–300 mm
Marking Depth (0.01–0.2 mm Depending on Material)
Marking depth is influenced by:
-
Laser wattage
-
Material type
-
Lens selection
-
Marking speed
For packaging codes, medical plastics, and fine text, 0.01–0.05 mm is sufficient.
For deeper marks on glass or ceramics, 10W–15W is recommended.
Marking Speed (<10,000 mm/s)
UV galvo systems offer extremely fast marking speeds, enabling:
-
High production output
-
Faster batch processing
-
Reliable industrial marking
Even at high speeds, UV lasers maintain exceptional detail and clarity due to their ultra-fine beam diameter.
Lens Selection (Critical for UV Precision)
Lens selection affects:
-
Beam spot size
-
Detail resolution
-
Engraving DPI
-
Focus distance
-
Overall clarity
General rule:
Small lens → Highest precision
Large lens → Wider area with slight precision trade-off
For electronics and packaging codes, choose smaller lenses for best micro-marking quality.
Power Supply (220V/50Hz)
UV laser marking machines operate on standard 220V/50Hz industrial power.
For regions using 110V:
-
Use a voltage transformer
-
Or request factory-configured 110V support
Stable power ensures consistent laser output and long machine life.
