LONGER Research: Innovations in Ray5 20W Laser Engraving for Ceramic Art

Laser engraving has become a pivotal technique in producing intricate designs on ceramics. Historically, CO2 laser engraving machines, which operate at shorter wavelengths, were commonly used but often proved less effective on ceramics. LONGER will use Diode Ray5 20W continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in ceramic art and customization.

LONGER has been at the forefront of this innovation, offering powerful laser engraving machines like the Ray5 20W. This machine features a working area of 400 x 365 mm, making it well-suited for detailed and precise engravings on ceramics.

The Ray5 20W laser, with a wavelength of 450nm and a fixed focus of 40mm, was fine-tuned for optimal performance. Adjustments in laser power, pulse duration, and scanning speed were made to achieve the highest quality engravings on various ceramic surfaces, especially those with intricate surface profiles or glaze coatings.

The Ray5 20W, with its precise 0.08x0.1mm laser spot size and high engraving speed of up to 10000mm/min, produced detailed and deep engravings. Using Ray5 20W deeper and more detailed, and the engraved designs were harder and more wear-resistant. This makes them suitable for both aesthetic and practical applications, such as dishware, furniture components, and outdoor sculptures.

Ceramic material selection, including stoneware, bone china, and high-fire ceramics. The type of glaze and surface finish were key factors in determining the effectiveness of laser engraving. Additional surface treatments like glazing further improved the aesthetic and functional qualities of the engraved ceramics.

LONGER’s laser engraving machines, such as the Ray5 20W, enable extensive customization of ceramic tableware. Here are some examples of potential designs:

Personalized Text: Clear and precise text can be engraved on plates, mugs, and bowls, making them unique with names, initials, or dates.

Custom Patterns: Fine details and symbols, including geometric shapes, plant motifs, or abstract forms, can be intricately carved on ceramic surfaces.

Logos and Branding: Businesses and special events can benefit from laser engraving to create branded tableware or promotional items.

Artwork and Illustrations: Detailed artwork and illustrations, whether they depict specific scenes, facial features, or simple sketches, can be engraved on ceramic pieces.

Customized Designs: Laser engraving allows for limitless creativity. Any combination of text, images, or new designs can be brought to life on ceramic tableware, reflecting personal or thematic preferences.

By leveraging the capabilities of the Ray5 20W, LONGER continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in ceramic art and customization, offering tools that blend creativity with advanced technology. Longer Ray5 laser engraver is going to bring life to your ideas.
