The laser engraving machine is a powerful tool capable of turning designers' ideas into reality and offers a vast range of possibilities for manufacturers and artists.However, when choosing a laser engraver that suits your needs, there are several key features that need to be carefully considered.Below we will delve into these seven key features to help you find the ideal laser engraving machine.

  1. Laser power

Laser power plays a crucial role in the engraving and cutting ability of laser engraving machines. In general, the higher the power of the laser engraving machine can handle thicker, harder materials. When choosing laser power, you need to consider the type and thickness of the material you often use. For example, our Laser B1 30W and Laser B1 40W series offer high power and excellent cutting capability for experienced users looking for a better experience. Beginners can choose the lower power RAY5 5W and RAY5 10W, suitable for engraving operations.

  1. Size of the work area

The size of the work area determines the maximum size of the object you can work with. Ensure that the working area of the selected laser engraving machine is large enough to accommodate common items and does not affect engraving quality and accuracy. If you need to make larger objects, we recommend the Laser B1 series products, because the operating space can be up to 450*440㎟. For smaller objects, you can consider the RAY5 series, which operates in 400*400㎟.

  1. Engraving speed

Engraving speed affects work efficiency. Faster engraving speeds can improve productivity, but may sacrifice certain details. Find the right balance between speed and quality to meet the demands of the job. If you want a higher power device, you can choose our B1 series products, engraving speed of 36000mm/min. If you want more detailed carving and don't go for speed, you can choose our RAY5 series, which has a carving speed of 10000mm/min.

  1. Resolution and accuracy

Resolution determines the level of detail that can be achieved. Higher resolution lasers produce finer details and smoother edges. Accuracy is crucial for precision engraving, especially when dealing with complex designs or small objects. Taking the RAY5 series as an example, its engraving accuracy under the three powers of 5W, 10W and 20W is 0.08*0.08mm, 0.06*0.06mm and 0.01mm respectively. For the B1 series, its engraving accuracy is 0.08*0.1mm, 0.08*0.1mm and 0.1*0.15mm under the three powers of 20W, 30W and 40W, you can choose according to your needs.
