How to Choose China Laser Marking Machines
There are many brands of laser marking machines in China, so you have a wide range of choices. How do you choose the most suitable and cost-effective machine among the many brands and machines? The following are some of the aspects to consider when choosing a China laser marking machine:
- Brand: China laser marking machine brand is very much. But only 20% of the total marking machine manufacturers have production plants. You first need to choose a brand that has its production plant. You can directly ask the manufacturer whether they have their factory. Some businesses will be true to reply to you. Of course, some will deceive you. The easiest way is to choose some famous brands. Because most of the well-known China laser marking machine manufacturers have their production factories
- Price: A big part of choosing a China laser marking machine manufacturer with a factory is that the prices of the machines they sell will be lower. There is no agent to earn the price difference. You can buy the same configuration of the machine at a lower price.
- After-sales service: Most China laser marker manufacturers with export qualifications have their official website. You can go try to feel their after-sales service. For example, if you email them or chat online about the machine after-sale, test how long it takes for them to reply. A laser marker is expensive, especially CO2 laser marker and fiber laser marker. Good after-sales service can ensure you spend less money on machine maintenance later.
- Machine parameters: The machine's power, speed, casing material and warranty time are among the factors you need to consider when buying the machine.

Things to consider when buying a China laser marking machine
When choosing a China laser marking machine should consider the following elements:
- Machine type: fiber laser is suitable for marking metal materials, including aluminum, copper, stainless steel, etc. If you need to mark wood, acrylic, leather and other non-metallic materials, a CO2 laser is your best choice. If you need to carve on various curved materials, buying a machine that supports 3D marking is recommended.
- Marking effect: If your industry requires high precision and accuracy of marking, then go for some machines with high marking accuracy and small repeat positioning differences.
- Service life: the durability of the machine is also very critical. Many businesses, to save costs or reduce the machine's weight, will choose to use a combination of metal frame and plastic shell. The service life of such machines is relatively less than the full metal casing.
Also affecting the life of the machine is the laser source. The life of the laser source varies from brand to brand. Especially when the CO2 laser tube is damaged, you need to replace the laser tube again. - Price: Generally, higher power is more expensive, and the machine's price varies from brand to brand.
How to maintain China laser marking machines
To maximize the machine's service life, doing a good job of post-maintenance is critical. The following are some tips to maintain the laser marking machine:
- Regularly clean the machine's table
- Regularly check the cooling system, which greatly guarantees that the laser source can work stably
- Regularly lubricate the rail and other parts of the machine with oil
- Regularly clean the focusing mirror to ensure that the lens remains clean
- If the machine has a fan, you also need to regularly clean the fan to ensure that it can always maintain efficient smoking
