Many people have such a question about laser marking machines: optical fiber, green light, carbon dioxide, ultraviolet, and mopa machines, the appearance does not look very different, but the laser light source is different, why is the ultraviolet laser marking machine so expensive? Why are other types of light sources so much cheaper?

In fact, everyone should understand that the price gap is nothing more than the difference between configuration and post-maintenance. Next, Foshan Fulan Laser briefly talks about why the UV opportunity is so expensive?

The UV laser marking machine is composed of UV laser, galvanometer, lens, industrial computer, control card, workbench casing, electronic control device, power supply, red light, pedal, combined surgical mirror and other original parts.

The wavelength of the laser is 355nm, the technical difficulty is higher, so the price of the ultraviolet laser is more expensive.

The galvanometer and lens of the UV laser marking machine have different coating thickness and materials than other laser marking machines, so they cannot be used universally. The galvanometer and lens of the ultraviolet laser are more expensive than other types of light sources.

On the other hand, UV laser marking machines have relatively higher environmental requirements, especially water-cooled lasers, which need to be kept at a constant temperature. Moreover, the stability of the UV laser marking machine is not as good as that of the fiber laser marking machine, which requires the help of manual after-sales, which increases the labor and after-sales costs.

Overall, there are two main reasons why the price of UV laser marking machine is relatively expensive. On the one hand, it reflects the high cost of spare parts. On the other hand, it is manifested in labor cost. The stability and life of UV laser marking machine are not as good as that. Other light sources need to provide after-sales service, especially after a long time of use, the power of the ultraviolet laser decays relatively quickly, and the labor cost is also up.
