When it comes to laser frosting of glass, people often think of CO2 laser equipment first. However, High peak MOPA fiber laser marking machine technology is now capable of achieving fine frosting effects on glass, with fast processing speeds suitable for large-scale production.We will compare the two technologies based on the following aspects:
Laser Characteristics
CO2 Laser Marking Machine: Uses a wavelength of 10.64μm CO2 laser, which acts on materials through thermal energy to vaporize the glass surface and create a frosted effect. This type of laser is commonly used for non-metal materials but may cause thermal damage when processing glass.
High-Peak MOPA Laser Marking Machine: Utilizes pulsed laser with a wavelength of 1060-1070nm, featuring high peak power (≥100kW) and adjustable pulse widths (2-500ns). It can release high energy in a very short time, making it suitable for fine processing while minimizing thermal damage to glass.
Processing Effects
CO2 Laser Marking Machine: Can achieve a frosted effect but may result in uneven surface roughness and residual debris. Its processing area is relatively shallow, making it suitable for general frosting needs.
High-Peak MOPA Laser Marking Machine: Capable of producing a more delicate and aesthetically pleasing frosted effect with uniform texture and no residue. Its high peak energy and excellent beam quality meet the high aesthetic demands of modern custom home applications.
Efficiency
CO2 Laser Marking Machine: Although easy to operate, it generally has lower efficiency, especially in large-scale production settings where it may not meet rapid processing demands.
High-Peak MOPA Laser Marking Machine: Frosting efficiency can reach up to 2m/min, significantly improving production efficiency while maintaining stable processing quality during prolonged operations.
Applicability
CO2 Laser Marking Machine: Widely used for various non-metal materials but has limited effectiveness in glass processing, particularly in situations requiring high precision and aesthetics.
High-Peak MOPA Laser Marking Machine: Suitable for precision processing that demands high peak power and brightness, such as glass frosting, drilling, and coating removal. It covers a broader range of applications, including high-end home decor and consumer electronics.
In summary, the High-Peak MOPA laser marking machine offers superior performance and broader application potential compared to the CO2 laser marking machine in the area of glass frosting.
