IS THERE A RADIATION HAZARD INVOLVED WITH YOUR LASER SYSTEMS? 

The decision to keep or remove the film depends entirely on the material you are using and the specific process involved. To achieve professional results, understanding should the protective masking film be removed before laser engraving/cutting and rotary engraving/cutting is a fundamental skill for any operator.

Safety and equipment longevity are the most critical factors when operating a laser system. While lasers are incredibly versatile, certain substrates can release lethal gases, catch fire instantly, or permanently corrode your machine’s optics. To ensure a safe workspace, every operator must be able to answer: Which materials are not suitable for laser cutting and engraving?

Proper maintenance is critical for extending the lifespan of a CO2 laser marking machine, which can last for over 10 years if well-maintained.

Laser marking machines are categorized by their laser source. Fiber laser markers are the industry standard for metals and hard plastics. CO2 laser markers are ideal for organic materials like wood, leather, and glass. For ultra-fine marking on heat-sensitive plastics or electronics, UV laser markers provide a “cold processing” solution that prevents material burning.

HOW THICK OF MATERIAL CAN I CUT? Processing results are not fixed, but are primarily determined by three key factors:
Laser power (wattage)
Specific type of material being processed
Actual thickness of the material

HOW DOES THE LASER CREATE THE DEPTH OR 3D EFFECT IN THE WOOD?
Our laser system creates a realistic 3D effect by engraving at variable depths based on grayscale values. The KCAM software is capable of recognizing and processing a full range of 256 distinct shades of gray, where each shade directly corresponds to a precise engraving depth command for the laser.
