Product Description
The 30W fiber laser marking machine by Chenxing Machinery is a compact, high-speed industrial engraving and coding system built around a 1064 nm fiber laser source with 30 W output power. Designed for permanent marking on metals, engineering plastics, coated surfaces, and select non-metallic substrates, the machine delivers ≤6000 mm/s marking speed across a selectable field range from 70×70 mm to 300×300 mm — covering everything from miniature QR codes on electronic components to large-format serial numbers on metal panels.
The machine is engineered around a short-optical-path, narrow-pulse design that eliminates the shadow and virtual-interruption artifacts common in longer-cavity or lower-peak-power lasers. The result: clean, high-contrast marks with sharp edge definition even on reflective, curved, or heat-sensitive surfaces. A built-in 8-inch industrial touchscreen with USB connectivity handles job loading, parameter adjustment, and production logging without an external PC — just plug in a USB drive with your vector files (PLT, DXF, AI, BMP) and begin marking. At 400 W total consumption, the machine runs on a standard single-phase outlet and fits into production lines, workstations, or mobile carts where larger CO₂ or lamp-pumped systems cannot. For manufacturers integrating this into extrusion lines or automated packaging workflows, the compact marking head and industry-standard communication protocols allow direct mounting and PLC handshake with minimal integration engineering.

The 30 W fiber laser operates with a pulse width under 120 ns and peak power exceeding 10 kW at the focal point — a power density sufficient to ablate or anneal surface material before heat propagates into the substrate. This is the physics behind "no shadow and no virtual interruption": the energy is deposited so quickly that the mark boundary is defined by the beam footprint alone, not by thermal diffusion into adjacent areas. On a polished stainless steel panel, this means a 0.15 mm line width stays 0.15 mm — no bloom, no halo, no ghost mark trailing behind the scan direction. On thin-walled aluminum (0.3–0.5 mm), the same short pulse prevents warping because heat affected zone depth stays under 5 µm. For production environments marking hundreds of identical parts per hour, this translates to zero rework due to cosmetic rejects — every mark is a first-pass pass. The 1064 nm wavelength is near-optimally absorbed by ferrous and non-ferrous metals, making this the default choice for industrial identification and traceability applications.
The marking head assembly — containing the galvanometer scanner, f-theta lens, and red-light positioning guide — is an industry-standard compact form factor weighing under 6 kg with mounting hole patterns compatible with common aluminum extrusion framing. This design choice has three practical consequences for system integrators: (a) the head mounts directly onto existing conveyor frames, filling-line gantries, or robotic arms without a dedicated granite or steel optical table; (b) the short optical path between laser output and scan lens eliminates the beam-expansion and alignment drift issues that plague longer-path setups when ambient temperature fluctuates across a shift; (c) the head can be positioned at any orientation — horizontal, vertical, upside-down — because the fiber delivery cable decouples the laser source location from the marking position. One 30 W source can sequentially feed two marking heads (via optional beam switch), doubling throughput on a single production lane. For plants upgrading from inkjet coders to laser, the head's mounting footprint is often a direct replacement for the inkjet printhead bracket — meaning mechanical integration takes an afternoon, not a week.
The integrated 8-inch industrial touchscreen controller runs an embedded operating system that imports vector files directly from a USB drive. Supported formats include PLT, DXF, AI, BMP, JPG, and PNG — the designer exports artwork from CorelDRAW, AutoCAD, or Illustrator, saves to USB, plugs into the machine, and the controller auto-traces vector paths or raster-engraves bitmap images. All marking parameters — power (0–100%), frequency (20–200 kHz), scan speed, hatch spacing, number of passes — are set on-screen with numeric keypads and slider controls. The controller stores up to 200 marking files in internal memory, retrievable by filename search or last-used timestamp. For high-mix production, operators can queue a batch of 50 different files and trigger each mark with a foot pedal or external sensor — no PC, no network, no IT dependency. When a PC connection is desired, the USB port also supports real-time control via the included LightBurn-compatible driver, opening compatibility with the most widely used laser control software in small-batch and prototyping shops.
The fiber laser's pulse repetition frequency ranges from 20 kHz to 200 kHz, and the controller allows independent adjustment of frequency, power, and scan speed for each marking layer. This matters because different materials and marking effects require different energy-per-pulse profiles: (a) deep engraving on steel — low frequency (25–40 kHz), high power, slow scan, maximizing energy per pulse for material removal; (b) annealing mark on stainless steel — mid frequency (50–80 kHz), moderate power, fast scan, heating the surface just enough to form a colored oxide layer without material removal; (c) marking on black ABS plastic — high frequency (100–150 kHz), low power, fast scan, producing a light-colored frosted mark by controlled surface melting without charring or toxic fume generation; (d) thin-film removal on anodized aluminum — maximum frequency (200 kHz), moderate power, very fast scan, stripping only the anodized layer to expose bright aluminum beneath without etching into the base metal. The ability to program three-layer marking (e.g., deep serial number + annealed logo + frosted QR code in one pass) means one machine replaces what would otherwise require multiple stations. For extrusion line operators marking PVC pipes with lot codes and meter marks, the high-frequency mode preserves the pipe's smooth inner surface for wire pulling.
The fiber laser source is air-cooled — no deionized water, no chiller, no coolant filters, no algae growth, no pump failures. A temperature-controlled fan array inside the power supply cabinet maintains the laser diode pump modules within their 20–32°C optimal band. The ytterbium-doped fiber gain medium is hermetically sealed and immune to the mirror misalignment, dust contamination, and gas-refill cycles that define CO₂ and lamp-pumped laser maintenance schedules. Manufacturer-rated MTBF exceeds 100,000 hours — approximately 11 years of continuous 24/7 operation or over 30 years of single-shift use. In practice, the only wear item is the f-theta lens protective window (replaceable in 2 minutes when pitted by spatter from deep engraving). Total cost of consumables over a five-year lifecycle: under USD 200. Compare this to a CO₂ laser marker requiring tube replacement every 2–3 years at USD 2,000–4,000 per tube, plus mirror cleaning and alignment labor. The fiber architecture's economics are why the global laser marking market has shifted over 80% to fiber sources for metal and plastic applications.

All metals (stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, brass, copper, titanium, gold, silver), most engineering plastics (ABS, PC, POM, PA, PBT, PEEK), anodized and coated surfaces, and thin films. It does NOT mark transparent materials (glass, clear acrylic), wood, leather, or fabric — those require a CO₂ or UV laser. For opaque colored plastics, results vary by pigment type; we recommend sending sample material for a free test marking before purchase.
MOQ is 1 set — one laser source, one marking head, one touchscreen controller, and accessories. You specify lens field size (70×70, 110×110, 200×200, or 300×300 mm) and your electrical standard. Additional lenses, rotary attachments for cylindrical marking, and conveyor-integration brackets are available individually. No minimum annual purchase commitment.
Yes. The fiber laser source is CE certified (Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, EMC Directive 2014/30/EU) and complies with FDA/CDRH laser safety regulations for Class 4 laser products. A complete technical dossier — CE declaration, laser safety test report, electrical schematic, and user manual in English — is provided with each shipment. For additional country-specific certifications (e.g., SASO, SONCAP), we coordinate with local testing labs at cost. Browse our full certification library on the Chenxing news page.
Standard delivery: 7–12 working days from deposit. Setup and first mark: under 4 hours.

No optical alignment, no water chiller fill, no gas bottle connection. Remote video guidance is included if needed.
24-month warranty on the fiber laser source, galvanometer scanner, touchscreen controller, and power supply from bill of lading. Laser source MTBF exceeds 100,000 hours. Galvanometer scanner life exceeds 20,000 operating hours before bearing replacement (a USD 300 field-serviceable part). Warranty claims are resolved via video diagnosis within 48 hours; replacement parts ship by DHL Express. For details on our after-sales commitment, visit Chenxing contact page.
USD 3,200–5,800 FOB Shanghai, depending on lens configuration, rotary attachment inclusion, and optional accessories (beam switch for dual-head, fume extractor, conveyor bracket). Compared to inkjet coders requiring USD 800–1,500/year in consumables (ink, solvent, printhead replacements), the fiber laser has near-zero consumable cost — the price difference is typically recovered within 6–12 months on consumable savings alone. When factoring in eliminated rework from ink smudging and nozzle clogging, payback accelerates to under 6 months for high-volume marking operations.
No. The 8-inch touchscreen controller is a standalone embedded system — import files via USB, set parameters on screen, and mark. A PC is only needed during the design phase to create artwork. For production, the operator interacts only with the touchscreen. If you prefer PC-based control (e.g., for dynamic variable data from a database), the USB port supports LightBurn and EZCAD2 software — the controller functions as a standard laser device recognized by both programs.
Larger field lenses (200×200, 300×300 mm) cover bigger areas but have lower power density at the focal point because the same 30 W is spread over a larger scan area. For deep engraving on steel, a 70×70 or 110×110 mm lens is recommended. For large-format surface marking on anodized aluminum panels, the 200×200 or 300×300 mm lens works well because thin-film removal requires less energy density. Lenses are user-swappable in under 5 minutes — the controller automatically loads the correct calibration file for each lens. Most customers purchase one primary lens and add a second later as their application mix expands.
Yes, with the optional rotary attachment. The rotary axis plugs into the controller's auxiliary port and rotates the workpiece in sync with the laser scanning path, enabling 360° marking around cylinders, cones, and curved surfaces. Common applications: marking around the circumference of pipes, medical implants, bearing races, and tool shanks. For conical parts, the rotary's tilt axis adjusts to match the taper angle. Maximum workpiece weight on the standard rotary: 15 kg.
The machine is a Class 4 laser product and requires a laser-safe enclosure or designated controlled area during operation. Included safety features: key-switch interlock (power only with key inserted and turned), emergency stop button, laser emission indicator light, and interlock input terminals for connecting to external door switches or light curtains on custom enclosures. We strongly recommend optional laser-safe acrylic viewing windows (OD 6+ at 1064 nm) for operator visibility during marking. Laser safety glasses (OD 6+) are included with every machine.
Yes. The controller provides PLC handshake via I/O terminals: start-mark trigger input, mark-complete output, fault output, and remote emergency stop input. The compact marking head mounts on standard 40×40 mm or 45×45 mm aluminum extrusion. For conveyor-paced marking, an optional encoder wheel input synchronizes the mark to belt speed. For robotic pick-and-place integration, the marking head can be mounted stationary while the robot presents parts — the I/O trigger fires the mark when the robot signals "part in position." Our engineers provide integration wiring diagrams and PLC ladder logic templates for Siemens, Mitsubishi, and Omron platforms. For plants already running material handling systems, integration typically takes one day.
