Venox Teknoloji's CO2 laser marking systems deliver high-resolution and long-lasting markings on various non-metallic surfaces. On wood, leather, glass, paper, and certain types of plastics; detailed graphics, fine text, complex logos, and decorative patterns can be applied with ease.
These systems stand out in areas such as promotional products, gift items, packaging, labeling, and decorative applications. Thanks to low energy consumption, cost-effective operation, and a long-life design, they offer an economical and efficient solution. CO2 laser systems are also preferred in operations that require mass production due to their high speed and repeatability, making them an ideal choice for industrial-scale processing needs.
What is a CO2 laser? CO2 lasers are laser systems that generate a beam using a carbon dioxide gas mixture and are widely used for marking and cutting applications on non-metallic surfaces.
Which materials can CO2 lasers be used on? They deliver effective results on a wide range of non-metallic materials such as wood, leather, glass, paper, cardboard, and certain types of plastics.
How is maintenance performed for CO2 laser systems? Periodic cleaning of optical components and, when necessary, mirror/lens inspections are recommended. Regular maintenance helps maintain efficiency and extends system life.
Is CO2 laser marking permanent? Yes, markings made with a CO2 laser are engraved into the surface, making them permanent and keeping their clarity for a long time.
What are the advantages of CO2 laser systems? High level of detail, fast processing, wide material compatibility, and low operating cost are the key advantages of CO2 lasers.
DIFFERENCES FROM OTHER LASER TYPES
Wavelength and Material Processing: Thanks to their longer wavelength, CO2 lasers provide high efficiency on organic and non-metallic materials. While fiber lasers focus on metals with a shorter wavelength, UV lasers process sensitive surfaces with a low heat effect.
Application Versatility: CO2 lasers are effective on many non-metallic surfaces and offer advantages in decorative applications. Fiber lasers are more common in metal-focused jobs, while UV lasers are preferred more frequently for plastics, glass, and sensitive parts.
Heat Effect: The heat effect is more pronounced with CO2 lasers; therefore, darkening/burn marks may occur on some organic materials. Fiber and UV lasers offer processing with a more controlled thermal impact.
