without using some marking spray.
I’m pretty sure my specific fiber laser won’t, but are there different type of lasers that don’t require buying some type of marking spray?
I’m aware that there are UV lasers and Galvo CO2 lasers, but know nothing about them.
Any info would be great.
Footnote, I noticed this guy didn’t use marking spray on this piece of glass.
Is your Monport 50w laser a CO2? He was using a CO2 setup.
You only need a coating if the laser is a visible light laser.
Not really… fiber lasers won’t mark glass directly either.
Why not? I thought they operated at CO2 frequencies.
Hello all.
Currently I have a 50w CO2 Monport, and a 50w JPT Fiber.
Co2 operate at 10.6uM to a fibers 1064nM… Both are in the IR spectrum. A Nd:YAG laser operates at the same frequency of a fiber. Yag lasers are what some of the non-fiber 1064nM lasers use for IR.
Fiber doesn’t work well on natural materials or some others, including acrylic, glass, wood, hot dogs, bread and baloney. Acrylic is man made, but it isn’t useful with a fiber… maybe with a colored acrylic, but it’s back to the same issue as a visible diode.
