A Guide to Understanding Your UV Laser Kit

UV Lasers are versatile tools that may help you with many laser processing operations. A UV laser is an excellent choice for precision marking and engraving. The best way to understand your UV marking kit is to know the basics and take these tips into consideration when using it. This guide will help you understand more about your UV laser kit.

Why the type of UV laser is important?

The type of UV laser you use is important. There are three types: excimer, exciplex, and molecular fluorine.

• Excimer lasers have a wavelength of 193 nm and create very little heat, so they can be used for delicate materials. They are also the fastest laser in terms of the speed needed to etch a square inch. They are, however, extremely expensive and not very common.
• Exciplex lasers are hybrid gas-solid state lasers that create light waves at 355 nm (or double this value), which is more than double the size of other UV marking. These lasers are much cheaper than excimer lasers but much slower when it comes to square inches etched per second.
• Molecular fluorine lasers have short wavelengths that allow them to penetrate deeper into the material being treated than excimer or exciplex lasers can. This makes them ideal for treating thicker materials like glass.

What types of materials can a UV laser cut?

In the world of laser cutting, you have laser cutters that can cut a wide range of materials—and then you have UV laser cutters.

UV marking is special. They're able to cut a much wider range of materials than their counterparts because they use light with a wavelength of around 400 nanometers, which is absorbed by almost any material.

When it comes to what types of materials UV laser cutters can cut, the answer is "just about anything." However, there are some materials that are better suited for these machines than others, including:

• Stainless steel
• Aluminum
• Titanium
• Copper
• Brass
• Carbon fiber composites

These machines are also designed to cut ceramics and polymers.

What comes in a typical UV laser starter kit?

UV laser starter kits are a great way to get started with UV marking technology. They're a great way to learn about lasers and how to apply them in your own projects, whatever they may be. Let's take a look at what's included in a typical starter kit:

• Laser pointer module (the laser itself)
• High-power driver board (to power the laser pointer)
• Glass lens
• Clear plastic lens
• Safety goggles
• Aluminum heatsink (to keep the laser cool)
• Button switch (for controlling the laser pointer)
