Vision Engraving Machine

Engraving shops often compare laser systems and rotary engravers when choosing equipment. Lasers are fast and require no physical contact with the material, but they are not always the most effective option. When a job calls for deep cuts on hard metals or precise work on items such as rings and jewelry, a vision rotary engraver can deliver results that lasers cannot match.

Knowing when to use rotary equipment, when to use laser systems, and when to combine both approaches helps a shop handle more types of work and improve overall efficiency.

Understanding the Two Main Engraving Technologies

To make an informed choice, it is essential to understand how these technologies interact with materials.

• Laser Engravers: These systems use a focused beam of light to burn, vaporize, or discolor the surface of a material. They excel at high-speed surface marking but struggle to create significant depth on bare, uncoated metals without high-power fiber sources or chemical sprays.
