FAQ

1. How fast is the OMTech Polar?
The OMTech Polar has an engraving speed of up to 500mm/s.
2. How thick can OMTech Polar cut?
The OMTech Polar has a cutting depth of up to 10mm.
3. Can a CO2 laser cut thin metal?
A CO2 laser is generally not the best tool for cutting metal, as the wavelength of the CO2 laser (10.6 micrometers) is not readily absorbed by metals. However, it can mark, engrave, or etch on coated metals, anodized aluminum, or metals that have been pretreated with a laser marking powder for metal marking.
4. Are CO2 lasers faster than diode?
In general, for most engraving and cutting applications, CO2 lasers are faster than diode lasers due to their higher power output and the efficient absorption of their wavelength by many materials.
