DANAPR model range
CO2 laser marking machine models
The model names below are confirmed DANAPR product information. Rated laser power is shown only where it has been provided; final configuration must be selected against the actual marking task.
| Model | Rated laser power | Selection note |
|---|---|---|
| DANAPR F1030 | 30 W | Confirm against the material, code, marking field and production test. |
| DANAPR F1060 | 60 W | Confirm against the material, code, marking field and production test. |
| DANAPR F1100 | 100 W | Confirm against the material, code, marking field and production test. |
| DANAPR D7030 D Series | To be confirmed | D Series rated power and configuration require an approved data sheet. |
| DANAPR D7060 D Series | To be confirmed | D Series rated power and configuration require an approved data sheet. |
Configuration note: D7030 and D7060 are DANAPR D Series CO2 laser models; their rated powers have not yet been supplied. Model numbers are not used to infer specifications. Final configuration depends on the material, required code, marking field, cycle and representative production test.
Best fit
Where CO2 laser marking can be evaluated
CO2 laser is a common test route for many organic and packaging materials. Layer construction, colour, coating and target mark still determine suitability.
Selected films and plastics
Confirm each resin, colour, coating and multilayer structure on production-representative samples.
Wood and glass
Evaluate the required visual effect, surface impact, position, fixturing and handling conditions.
Engineering selection
Test the exact material construction
Material family names are not enough. Coatings, pigments, additives and layer structures can change the mark.
- Identify substrate, colour, coating, thickness and package or part structure.
- Define artwork, code size, position, contrast and acceptable surface change.
- Record production cycle, movement, spacing and available marking time.
- Map focal access, mounting, guarding, extraction and operator access.
- Agree visual quality, readability, durability and production acceptance criteria.
Evidence boundary: DANAPR model names and the numeric rated laser powers shown in the table are confirmed. D Series power values, other specifications, performance figures and material compatibility remain subject to approved documentation and representative sample testing.
Qualification workflow
Build evidence before equipment selection
The approved sample and production conditions should become part of the handover.
Sample
Collect every relevant substrate, colour, coating and structure.
Mark
Use final artwork, code size, position and target appearance.
Integrate
Review handling, trigger, focal access, guarding and extraction.
Accept
Document approved quality, readability and production conditions.
Technology comparison
CO2, UV, fiber or inkjet?
Route the real sample to the process that best meets the mark and integration requirement.
| Requirement | Common comparison | Proof needed |
|---|---|---|
| Paper, board, wood or selected polymer | CO2 laser marking | Mark effect, contrast, heat impact and cycle |
| Fine mark or controlled heat input | UV laser marking | Actual material response and code readability |
| Metal or selected engineering plastic | Fiber laser marking | Grade, finish, contrast or depth and safety scope |
| Removable variable code | CIJ or TIJ inkjet | Ink adhesion, drying, print distance and maintenance process |
Qualification limits
When not to choose CO2 laser marking
Compare another process when the sample, mark or site conditions do not support the proposed CO2 laser configuration.
- The sample cannot achieve acceptable contrast, quality or readability.
- The surface effect or heat input is not acceptable.
- The code must be removable or changed after application.
- Product presentation or required guarding and extraction cannot be integrated.
- UV, fiber, CIJ, TIJ or another process performs better in the approved test.
FAQ
CO2 laser marking machine questions
What materials can be evaluated for CO2 laser marking?
Paper, cardboard, wood, glass and selected plastics, films or coated materials are common evaluation starting points. Exact material construction and finish require sample testing.
How should CO2 laser marking be compared with UV laser?
Compare the actual mark effect, heat input, code size, cycle, substrate response and installation scope on representative samples. Neither technology should be selected from a generic material name alone.
What is needed for a CO2 laser sample test?
Provide each material and colour, package or part structure, target artwork, mark size and position, production cycle, handling method and acceptance criteria.
What installation items must be reviewed?
Review focal access, product presentation, triggering, mounting, guarding, extraction, controls, operator access and the production environment.
