Hi, thank you very much for your wonderful review! Fortunately, this 20W fiber laser is within my reach, however, a 60W fiber laser is out of my reach. Consequently, I am interested in comparing the 20W and the 60W laser in terms of depth of engraving. More specifically, when using much more passes (and more time) with the 20W laser, I wonder if it is possible to obtain the same deep engravings like using the 60W laser. I am retired so spending more time in engraving is no problem for me. Thank you so much.
@JTMakesItАй бұрын
@@PavelZahradnik-p4l with 20W, less depth will be achieved since when engraving deeper, the beam becomes more out of focus and with less power you run out of usable power sooner. I didn't do any long engraving tests on the 20W, but for metals like brass I would say that 0.5mm depth is achievable with 20W and 2mm with 60W, but this will highly depend on the type of metal and the lens size (larger area lens gives less power density, but longer focus depth, so there is always a compromise)

Dear JT, I would like to ask you to make an experiment with engraving copper, mainly PCBs, with the diode laser. Copper has higher absorption for shorter wavelengths.

@@JTMakesIt Hi, Thank you very much! Elsewhere, you will find an information: "450nm laser is an ideal light source for processing non-ferrous metals such as gold, copper and copper alloys". In my view, your bad experience in engraving copper using blue laser is based on the fact that the blue diode laser is usually a non-pulsed one, it is a continuous wave (CW) laser. On the other hand, the infrared fiber lasers are pulsed ones and therefore their superior performance compared to CW lasers. It would be very interesting to see the performance of a BLUE PULSED fiber laser, however, such lasers are rare. Thanks a lot again. Kind Regards, Pavel
@JTMakesItАй бұрын
@@PavelZahradnik-p4l I think pulsed blue laser would be very dangerous for the eye. And yes, pulses give fiber lasers the ability to vaporize metal, since the individual pulses can reach ranges of 10kW of optical power. On the other hand, fiber lasers can't mark wood which I find interesting
