As we known, CO2 laser engraving machine is much faster than mini CNC router or a deskop CNC router but it can not engrave hard materials such as aluminum, copper, brass and any metallic materials, because the melting points of metallic material are too high. But a CNC engraving machine can do.
Generally speaking, CO2 Laser Engraving Cutting Machine can be widely used to cut or engrave materials such as acryl, timber, leather, plastic, glass, organic glass, PVC material, cloth, rubber, bamboo, jade and so on.
Many customers asked ushow depth we can engrave and how long it will take when we use a CO2 Laser Engraving Cutting Machine ?

Today, let us share some information about aboved questions.

First, there are three factors decide the engraving depth of the CO2 laser engraver.
a. The hardness of the materials. The harder the material, the thinner the CO2 laser engraver can cut.

b. The power of the laser tube of the CO2 laser engraving cutting machine  40W, 50W, 60W, 80W CO2 laser engraver are with much different depth, the bigger the power laser tube, the thicker the machine can engrave.

c. The engraving speed of the CO2 laser engraving cutting machine. This can be adjusted by users. The higher speed, the deeper it can engrave.

Second, there are two factors decide the time spent on engraving
a.The size of the product for engraving. If the size bigger, the time for engraving will be longer.

b. The working speed of the  laser engraver. We can adjust by two ways, one through adjusting laser tube power on machine control panel, the other is to adjust the X, Y, Z speed through software.
