1. Glass CO2 Laser Tubes (Common in laser engraving/cutting machines)
Lifespan Range:
Typical lifespan: About 2,000 to 10,000 hours
High-quality brands (e.g., RECI, EFR): Up to 6,000–10,000 hours
Lower-end brands or high-power under heavy use: May last only 2,000–4,000 hours
Factors Affecting Lifespan:
Operating current: Running above the rated current for long periods significantly shortens lifespan.
Cooling system: High water temperature or poor water quality accelerates gas degradation inside the tube.
Power cycling: Frequent switching on and off can reduce lifespan.
Working environment: Dust, high temperature, and humidity can all have negative impacts.
Maintenance: Regular water replacement and keeping optics clean help extend lifespan.
2. Metal-Sealed CO2 Lasers (Industrial-grade)
Lifespan: About 20,000 to 30,000 hours
Advantages: Can be recharged with gas, reusable, highly stable.
Disadvantages: Higher cost, typically used in industrial settings.
3. Fiber Lasers
Lifespan: Up to 50,000 to 100,000 hours
Nearly maintenance-free, ideal for high-precision metal cutting and marking.
Higher cost, but excellent long-term cost-performance ratio.
Summary Comparison:
Laser Type Lifespan Typical Applications
Glass CO2 Laser Tube 2,000–10,000 hours Laser engraving, non-metal cutting
Metal-Sealed CO2 Laser 20,000–30,000 hours Industrial non-metal/thin metal cutting
Fiber Laser 50,000–100,000 hours Metal cutting, laser marking
If you let me know your specific application (e.g., cutting acrylic, engraving wood, marking metal, etc.), I can help you determine the most suitable laser type with the best balance of lifespan and cost-effectiveness.
