If your company produces various sheet metal parts, lamps, electrical cabinets, etc., you can choose the large-format flatbed laser metal cutting machine. The thickness of processed metal sheets is generally between 1-30mm. The laser cutting equipment with a power of 1000W to 20000W can meet the demands well.

When you also cut metal pipes and tubes beside sheets, you can consider the laser cutting machine for metal sheets and tubes. Buying one laser machine can realize the cutting of both pipes and sheets. You won’t spend extra money to buy another laser machine, nor find more room to keep two machines.

To further improve work efficiency, you can add an exchange platform for this laser cutter engraver. When the laser machine works at one platform, you can complete loading, unloading, or other work at the other platform. This greatly reduces non-production time.

If your work involves metal engraving or etching instead of large volume metal cutting, a metal engraving machine is enough. For marking traceable codes, logos, colorful marks on metal and plastic materials, a fiber laser marking machine is your best choice. Engraving, etching, and marking stands for different process depth, which can be realized by different laser power.

The CO2 laser cutter engraver is worthwhile to buy when it comes to the cutting and engraving of non-metal materials. Its features include non-contact processing, small heat-affected area, high efficiency, fast speed, etc. All these ensure good cutting ability, no deformation, and excellent accuracy of laser-cut products.

Things to consider before buying a laser cutter engraver

We know that the selection of the best laser cutter can be tough and depends on many factors.

Processing requirements

The decision to buy a laser cutter engraver shall be based on your needs. First, determine what you want to achieve with the laser cutter and engraver. Determine your processing material types and sizes, major processes, preferred accuracy, and other needs. This helps you determine the type, working size, laser power, or other configurations of the laser cutter engraver you need. You may have an initial thought on your target laser cutter engraver after determining the processing demands. The next step is to choose a laser machine manufacturer or brand.

Laser machine manufacturer

Manufacturers with in-house R&D capabilities have the ability to innovate new products and provide customized services to meet customer requirements. Therefore, this is also the first thing to consider when choosing a laser machine manufacturer. In addition, production capacity, delivery capacity, service system, customer review, etc. are also factors you need to investigate. You need to negotiate the laser cutter engraver configurations, parameters, and price with the laser machine manufacturer. This negotiation process may also, to some extent, reflect the manufacturer’s professionalism and service level. After you and the laser cutter engraver manufacturer reach an agreement, remember to sign a contract. Specifying the details, like configuration, delivery time, and contract price can protect the rights and interests of both parties.

Price

Although the laser cutter machine price does not necessarily determine its quality, the budget is one of the considerations when making a purchase decision. Laser cutting machines, especially high-power fiber laser ones, are very expensive. Therefore, you need to carefully evaluate your processing needs. Determine whether you really need to spend a fortune to buy a laser cutter engraver. Of course, you cannot blindly pursue low prices. We usually say you get what you pay for. The cost of a laser cutting or a laser engraving machine is relatively high. So a very low price may mean inferior parts and thin structure, short service life, and frequent maintenance.

Service support

A complete service system starts from the pre-sales quotation to the after-sales problem-solving. Customers usually pay much attention to the after-sales services. Remember to choose a manufacturer that can guarantee product quality, and offer complete after-sales services from installation, training to problem-solving.
