Do you want to know the information and compare the differences between Raycus, JPT, MAX, SPI, IPG and SUPER fiber laser sources? When we buy a metal fiber laser marking machine, we can see that many companies are offering different fiber laser sources. Most of them are Chinese laser source brands because in the past 10 years, Chinese technology companies have almost acquired all patents - US, Canadian, and German laser technology. Others are American brands, and some are German brands. So of all these fiber laser brands, which one is the best? What is the difference between them? Which fiber laser source is cheaper? Which one is the most popular? In this article, we want to explain to help you choose the right machine with the best quality.
What is the big difference?
Many customers wonder why the selling price of some Raycus machines is so cheap, while IPG is much more expensive. All this difference in price is not just because the laser source is made in China and the IPG source is made in Germany. The main differences are the engraving efficiency, the quality of the machine, the warranty and the materials it can engrave. This is also the difference between Chinese and Singaporean laser sources. If we compare JPT with Max and Raycus, we can see that JPT lasers are better than Chinese laser brands.

Why are these laser brands sold the most?
Popularity of laser types: Raycus > JPT > IPG > Max
Price range: IPG > JPT > Raycus > Max
Raycus Laser Source
Raycus laser produced by Wuhan Raycus Fiber Laser Technologies Co, Ltd (hereinafter referred to as “Wuhan Raycus”) is the first Chinese enterprise engaged in the research, development and scale production of fiber laser source High power optics and core equipment and largest fiber laser R&D. And is a manufacturing company with global influence in China. Raycus has an international leading key equipment research and development team, many of the world's leading patented technologies. The fiber lasers produced by the company account for 30% of the domestic market share, and they are exported to Asia, Europe, America, the Middle East and other regions.
Raycus fiber laser sources are famous for their stability and high performance. In particular, the manufacturer also provides high-end versions, this line produces laser power higher than theoretical power and very high quality. But its price is not cheap. Typically, a fiber laser engraver using a Raycus power source is relatively affordable, and this is the main reason most companies use it.
So, if you want to buy a fiber laser marking machine with the best quality Raycus laser source, you should ask the supplier clearly. Raycus laser codes will vary in quality, look at the siral number: QS < QE< Q < QB. The Raycus QS line (RFL-20QS or RFL-30QS, RFL-30QS) is of the lowest quality, because it is a cheap laser line, the actual laser power will be lower than the theoretical power.
JPT Laser Source
JPT laser was developed in Singapore and is famous for its reliable quality, used by many processing companies such as Foxcom, Samsung, Philip, Apple, Hyundai, etc. The JPT fiber laser engraving machine uses the JPT laser source, which is still maintained. Good energy level after long periods of use without significant changes. This is an important factor that determines the error of the engraving machine after several years of using the machine.
As we all know, Raycus laser is one of the popular and cost-effective lasers on the market. But usually the tuning frequency of Raycus 20W, 30w, 50W laser is only 20 ~ 100 kHz, but the regular JPT 50W laser can reach 1 ~ 400 kHz, which means that the engraving machine using JPT laser source can Applicable to many materials and the engraving effect is better. In particular, JPT mopa laser lines can adjust frequencies from 1 - 4000 kHz.
Currently on the market, engraving machines using JPT laser sources are increasingly used, due to their more competitive prices but better quality than Raycus lasers.

IPG Là công ty hàng đầu của Đức về công nghệ laser. Đây là dòng laser có danh tiếng hoạt động ổn định và khả năng khắc tốc độ cao. Vì vậy, laser IPG thích hợp cho việc sử dụng lâu dài, phù hợp với tự động hoặc dây chuyền sản xuất bán tự động. Tốc độ khắc cao của IPG cũng giúp nâng cao hiệu quả sản xuất. Việc laser ổn định cao cũng có thể đảm bảo máy khắc laser hoạt động 24 giờ trong ngày. Tất nhiên, đó cũng là giá khá cao so với JPT. Vì vậy, nếu mục đích sử dụng của bạn không phải là cho sản xuất tự động, lắp đặt trên băng chuyền chúng tôi khuyên bạn nên chọ JPT hoặc Raycus.
Laser source Max
Maxphotonics, founded in 2004 in Shenzhen, specializes in the research and development, production and sales of high-power fiber lasers and fiber optic cores. They are a leading professional developer and the first and only fiber optic manufacturer in China with 100% laser domestic ratio.
Max is a relatively commonly used laser source today. The advantage is that the price is quite cheap and the quality is stable, suitable for weather conditions, can engrave all metals or non-metals. Beam quality operates at a normal level. For products that do not need to be too strict about engraving quality and depth, we can use Max. Max laser source life is about 100,000 hours of operation. Although the quality is not as good as JPT laser, it is still a reasonable choice. In Vietnam, laser engraving machines still mainly use Max.
Max fiber sources also have the same disadvantage as Raycus lasers in that the frequency tuning is only from 20 to 80 kHz. So when engraving plastic types, it is also more limited. Some good laser lines of Max: MFP-20, MFP-30, MFP-50,.. In addition, Max also has some cheap, economical laser lines with output power lower than theoretical power such as: MFP -20L, MFP-30L, MFP-20X, MFP-20X.

Epilogue
Above is a summary article about the 4 most used types of fiber laser sources Raycus, JPT, Max, IPG. Hopefully this article will help you choose and check the specific machine configuration of the machine you intend to buy or ask the supplier to sell the right product with the best quality. And the most important note " The buyer is wrong - the seller is definitely not wrong ".
