I want to move into higher production capacity laser marking. I presume I will need a CO2 galvo as the material I want to mark is 3mm ply.

I havent started to make any serious enquiries yet, as I would like to understand limitations etc before I do so.

Do I need the equivalent power as my gantry system?

Is there the same divide between Eastern and Western machines with galvo systems as there is with gantry?

Anything I need to be aware of before I start to shop?


Thank you in advance for your assistance.

A side note to Jit Patel What happened with your galvo?, I read in a previous thread that you werent using that machine . As a Trotec user my first purchasing enquiry will probably be with them.
