Understanding ComMarker COX CO₂ Laser Engraver

1. Basic Information

Definition: The ComMarker COX is a radio frequencies  (RF) metal-tube galvo CO₂ laser engraving machine. It uses a 10.6 μm wavelength, specifically designed for marking non-metal materials.

Advantages: Air-cooled system, high beam quality, high precision, fast marking speed and long life span.

3. Key Engraving Parameters

Power

Determines the energy output per unit time and directly affects engraving depth, color intensity, and material reaction.
Excessive power may cause burning, melting, or heavy carbonization, while insufficient power can result in shallow marks, whitening, or incomplete engraving.

Speed

Controls how long the laser stays on the material surface, affecting energy accumulation.
Lower speeds deepen engraving but may cause burning or melting edges; higher speeds may result in lighter or broken lines due to insufficient energy.

Frequency

Determines pulse density and energy distribution per point, affecting engraving detail and heat impact.
Higher frequency produces finer results but may lead to heat buildup and darkening; lower frequency delivers stronger single pulses, suitable for deep engraving but with a rougher surface.

Focus

Affects spot size and energy concentration, making it critical for precision and uniformity.
Perfect focus brings the sharpest and deepest results, while slight defocus is suitable for uniform filling.

Line Distance

Determines fill density and processing efficiency, influencing color depth and surface uniformity.
Smaller spacing results in darker engraving but slower speed; larger spacing increases speed but may lead to lighter results or visible gaps.

Dwell Time

Controls how long the laser stays on a single point, affecting localized energy intensity.
Longer dwell time may cause burning or excessive melting, while shorter dwell time may result in unclear markings or loss of detail.
