EKO range plotter type cutting/engraving lasers

Marking or engraving with a CO2 laser is linked to  the energy applied on  the material (power). Depending on this energy , the laser will more or less  penetrate into the material (NB: except for some  materials, see corresponding list).

Laser marking has the advantage of being unalterable, economical (no tool wear),  environmentally friendly (no ink or chemicals) and fast to produce.

Eko range of lasers has been designed in collaboration with companies experienced in engraving / cutting with RF laser tube , to develop a  machine  with less expensive glass tube  technology.

Aware that not all production plants, education and other businesses need the most modern and expensive machine, we have considered an efficient and economical equipment suitable for small and medium companies.

Our EKO lasers are designed from the best elements on the market,   to get  a  high performance machine (speed of 1200 mm / sec, 5G acceleration)  with an innovative space saving  all-in-1 system (integrating fume extractor, air assistance, cooling unit) and  coming with many  elements as standard (autofocus, red laser pointer, honeycomb and blade cutting tables) and even CAD software.

Main differences with alternative machines are reliability of Eko lasers, finish and all in one design (with integrated cooling unit, air pump and suction) to create and smart looking equipment. Interface is designed  for easy operation, with control panel and software in French. 

Glass tubes use a high direct voltage (DC) to produce  laser beam, when RF tubes  are excited by  the pulses with a certain frequency.

Technology used for glass tubes is inexpensive.

Glass tubes are very efficient for cutting  because of their generally higher wattage than RF tubes.

They can also be used for engraving but  result quality directly depends on  manufacturer's investment in quality of  movement guidance system (bearings, belts, motors),  electronic control element (DSP) and  optics.

On this point, we opted for  highest standards available on   Asian market.

But, on the other hand, excitation  process by direct current inherently limits the speed at which the laser tube can emit pulses :  laser pulses less frequently, which considerably reduces speed and decreases engraving quality.

NOTE: A lower wattage glass tube (e.g. 40 W) tends to produce  better engraving results due to the possibility of better beam control with lower power settings

Regarding tube lifetime, glass is naturally more fragile than metal and risks of damage during transport and handling are higher, but  main concern is that process of excitation by direct current bombards ions on optics, tube and  electrodes, which increases  risks of deterioration over time.

    - Polycarbonate / PC / Lexan / Makrolon: melts and burns
    - Expanded / extruded polystyrene (foam): melts and burns
    - Compound and / or non-homogeneous materials are generally difficult to cleanly cut with a laser.

Our lasers are safe for the operator.

There are several laser classes

- class 1: Lasers that are safe when used, even for direct vision  of the beam over a long period and even when using telescopic optical devices.
- class 2: Lasers emitting from 400 nm to 700 nm wavelength visible radiation, harmless for temporary exposures (0.25 s), but  harmful in case deliberate vision of the beam.
- class 3: Lasers emitting radiation which may exceed the EMP in case of direct vision of the beam, but with relatively low risk of injury in most cases. We do not have this type of laser.
- class 4: Lasers for which  vision in the beam and skin exposure  are dangerous.Also, vision of diffuse reflections can be dangerous. A fire hazard is also often present with this kind of laser. They require wearing protective glasses.

Our lasers belong to the  2nd class as they are equipped as standard with a red dot pointer allowing to simulate work or start it at a determined place. The red dot pointer power being very low (less than one mw), it is not dangerous.

All our machines comply with CE standards and meet requirements of Machinery Directive 2006/42 / EC.

They are supplied  with:
- a key switch to start the tube
- door safety systems  immediatly stopping laser emission in case the laser compartment is opened.
- an easily accessible emergency stop button.
- a special safety window for absorption of the laser beam.

No, a laser is very easy to use and very intuitive.
Operator needs to create artwork  on any graphics software (Coreldraw, Illustrator, Inskape, Autocad, Solidworks, ...), applying 2 main parameters to each color :  laser speed and power according to expected result (material engraving ,half or complete cutting).

Then, the file is sent to laser.
It's as simple as that ! In a few minutes you can be up and running.

Note:  speed and power parameters are linked to processed material. A parameter base is provided for a wide variety of materials to  help you.
All of our lasers are delivered with  on-site installation and training for efficient machine operation and maintenance

First point to take into account is the required engraving / cutting surface. Our range starts from 450 x 300 mm lasers up to 1600 x 1000 mm. Depending on material to be processed  in the machine, proper size must be chosen.

It is important to note that most of our machines have front / back openable doors. When opening front and back doors,  there is no length limit, but just the machine width limit . For instance, with 1000 x 600 mm  I 4000 model, it is possible  to engrave / cut plates of 1000 mm x infinity.

Second point  is the laser tube power, available from 30 w to 150 w.

For engraving applications, a low power tube (30 or 40 W) will produce results similar to a higher power one on most materials. Higher power will just improve engraving time of some materials such as rubber for  stamps, 2-layer materials ...

In cutting applications, higher powers will produce deeper, faster and smoother (clean) results. Depending  on  processed  thickness, we can advise the best power.

In engraving areas,  drawing  is horizontally scanned and  laser turns on / off  depending on the presence of a pattern. Graphics is generally a bitmap, an image, a logo, a text ...

For cutting areas, pattern is a vector graphic (lines and curves). Laser will move and follow  the drawing shape, continuously emitting. If energy (power) is sufficient, part will be cut.
All our laser machines can  both engrave and cut.  Distinction is made according to speed and power assigned to the pattern

Marking or engraving with a CO2 laser is linked to  the energy applied on  the material (power). Depending on this energy , the laser will more or less  penetrate into the material (NB: except for some  materials, see corresponding list).

- class 3: Lasers emitting radiation which may exceed the EMP in case of direct vision of the beam, but with relatively low risk of injury in most cases. We do not have this type of laser.
- class 4: Lasers for which  vision in the beam and skin exposure  are dangerous.Also, vision of diffuse reflections can be dangerous. A fire hazard is also often present with this kind of laser. They require wearing protective glasses.

Our lasers belong to the  2nd class as they are equipped as standard with a red dot pointer allowing to simulate work or start it at a determined place. The red dot pointer power being very low (less than one mw), it is not dangerous.

All our machines comply with CE standards and meet requirements of Machinery Directive 2006/42 / EC.

They are supplied  with:
- a key switch to start the tube
- door safety systems  immediatly stopping laser emission in case the laser compartment is opened.
- an easily accessible emergency stop button.
- a special safety window for absorption of the laser beam.

No, a laser is very easy to use and very intuitive.
Operator needs to create artwork  on any graphics software (Coreldraw, Illustrator, Inskape, Autocad, Solidworks, ...), applying 2 main parameters to each color :  laser speed and power according to expected result (material engraving ,half or complete cutting).

Then, the file is sent to laser.
It's as simple as that ! In a few minutes you can be up and running.

Note:  speed and power parameters are linked to processed material. A parameter base is provided for a wide variety of materials to  help you.
All of our lasers are delivered with  on-site installation and training for efficient machine operation and maintenance

First point to take into account is the required engraving / cutting surface. Our range starts from 450 x 300 mm lasers up to 1600 x 1000 mm. Depending on material to be processed  in the machine, proper size must be chosen.

It is important to note that most of our machines have front / back openable doors. When opening front and back doors,  there is no length limit, but just the machine width limit . For instance, with 1000 x 600 mm  I 4000 model, it is possible  to engrave / cut plates of 1000 mm x infinity.

Second point  is the laser tube power, available from 30 w to 150 w.

For engraving applications, a low power tube (30 or 40 W) will produce results similar to a higher power one on most materials. Higher power will just improve engraving time of some materials such as rubber for  stamps, 2-layer materials ...

In cutting applications, higher powers will produce deeper, faster and smoother (clean) results. Depending  on  processed  thickness, we can advise the best power.

In engraving areas,  drawing  is horizontally scanned and  laser turns on / off  depending on the presence of a pattern. Graphics is generally a bitmap, an image, a logo, a text ...

For cutting areas, pattern is a vector graphic (lines and curves). Laser will move and follow  the drawing shape, continuously emitting. If energy (power) is sufficient, part will be cut.
All our laser machines can  both engrave and cut.  Distinction is made according to speed and power assigned to the pattern

Marking or engraving with a CO2 laser is linked to  the energy applied on  the material (power). Depending on this energy , the laser will more or less  penetrate into the material (NB: except for some  materials, see corresponding list).

Laser marking has the advantage of being unalterable, economical (no tool wear),  environmentally friendly (no ink or chemicals) and fast to produce.

Eko range of lasers has been designed in collaboration with companies experienced in engraving / cutting with RF laser tube , to develop a  machine  with less expensive glass tube  technology.

Aware that not all production plants, education and other businesses need the most modern and expensive machine, we have considered an efficient and economical equipment suitable for small and medium companies.

Our EKO lasers are designed from the best elements on the market,   to get  a  high performance machine (speed of 1200 mm / sec, 5G acceleration)  with an innovative space saving  all-in-1 system (integrating fume extractor, air assistance, cooling unit) and  coming with many  elements as standard (autofocus, red laser pointer, honeycomb and blade cutting tables) and even CAD software.

Main differences with alternative machines are reliability of Eko lasers, finish and all in one design (with integrated cooling unit, air pump and suction) to create and smart looking equipment. Interface is designed  for easy operation, with control panel and software in French. 

Glass tubes use a high direct voltage (DC) to produce  laser beam, when RF tubes  are excited by  the pulses with a certain frequency.

Technology used for glass tubes is inexpensive.

Glass tubes are very efficient for cutting  because of their generally higher wattage than RF tubes.

They can also be used for engraving but  result quality directly depends on  manufacturer's investment in quality of  movement guidance system (bearings, belts, motors),  electronic control element (DSP) and  optics.

On this point, we opted for  highest standards available on   Asian market.

But, on the other hand, excitation  process by direct current inherently limits the speed at which the laser tube can emit pulses :  laser pulses less frequently, which considerably reduces speed and decreases engraving quality.

NOTE: A lower wattage glass tube (e.g. 40 W) tends to produce  better engraving results due to the possibility of better beam control with lower power settings

Regarding tube lifetime, glass is naturally more fragile than metal and risks of damage during transport and handling are higher, but  main concern is that process of excitation by direct current bombards ions on optics, tube and  electrodes, which increases  risks of deterioration over time.
