Metal tube or glass tube of CO2 laser marking machine which is better?What's the difference?
Answer: metal tube is better. There are four differences. Xiaobian takes Riselaser laser's CO2 laser marking machine for analysis.
1.The metal tubes of CO 2 laser marking machine are imported, and most of the glass tubes are made in China. The service life of metal tubes can reach more than 45000 hours, which can generally be used for about six years. When the gas inside is used up, it can be recharged and reused. The glass tubes are generally used for about 2000 hours, which usually need to be replaced once a half year, which is disposable, It is not reusable.
2.The stability of metal tube is stronger than that of glass tube. Metal tube is fully sealed and uses 30 V low voltage. If glass tube acts on the cutting machine, it usually uses more than 10000 V power supply. The performance is unstable and the power supply is easy to be aged for a long time. Therefore, there are potential safety hazards and great interference to the control system. For example, improper operation is easy to burn the main board, It is easier to be affected by voltage and damage its normal function.
3.The spot of CO 2 metal tube is 0.07mm, which has fine spot, high precision and small thermal effect. It can be processed finely. The spot of glass tube is 0.25mm, which is more than three times of that of RF tube. The spot is relatively thick, with poor accuracy, unstable light output, large thermal diffusion area, obvious edge melting and blackening.
4.The air-cooled carbon dioxide metal tube can work stably without failure for a long time, while the water-cooled glass tube can produce unstable or no light if the continuous processing time is too long or the water temperature is not in a constant range. The continuous work has a great impact on the quality of the product.
5.It can be seen from the above points that the metal tube is much better than the glass tube, but the price of the metal tube is much more expensive than the glass tube. If the accuracy of the processed product is not very high, the use of the glass tube is no problem. Such as: leather, cloth, acrylic, etc., so when purchasing equipment, don't blindly choose, not necessarily expensive is suitable, to first understand their own products and the properties of the required equipment,Riselaser can provide free samples, customers in need can contact us.
