When precision, depth, and durability matter most, professionals turn to one solution: the 50W fiber laser. Whether you're engraving industrial parts, luxury goods, or serialized components, the 50W fiber laser for deep metal engraving delivers unmatched clarity and long-lasting results. For businesses looking to maximize precision and production speed, the Monport GQ 50W Fiber Laser Engraver & Marking Machine is a smart, scalable investment.

This blog dives into how the Monport 50W fiber laser machine performs, how to optimize its settings for different metals, and why it’s an ideal solution for professionals ready to upgrade their engraving game.

What Is a 50W Fiber Laser?

A 50W fiber laser is a high-powered laser system that uses fiber-optic technology to generate a precise, high-intensity laser beam. Unlike traditional CO₂ lasers, fiber lasers are designed to work exceptionally well on metals. With 50 watts of power, this model provides faster speeds and deeper penetration—making it perfect for industrial and commercial applications.

The 50W fiber laser for deep metal engraving allows for permanent markings that resist wear, abrasion, and corrosion, ensuring high contrast and legibility over time.

Introducing the Monport GQ 50W Fiber Laser

The Monport GQ 50W Fiber Laser Engraver & Marking Machine (7.9" x 7.9") comes with FDA approval and is purpose-built for professional-grade deep engraving and marking. Designed for durability and flexibility, this compact yet powerful system integrates advanced Galvo-tech control, precise laser guidance, and a long-life laser source to ensure your metal engravings are crisp, clean, and consistent.

Let’s explore what sets this machine apart—and how to unlock its full potential.

Galvo-Tech Control for Precision and Speed

At the core of the Monport 50W is Galvo-tech scanning technology. Unlike gantry systems, Galvo-heads use mirrors to rapidly direct the laser beam across the working area, allowing for engraving speeds of up to 7,000 mm/s. This delivers extraordinary accuracy, which is critical for fine text, barcodes, and logos on curved or flat surfaces.

This feature is particularly valuable for bulk production, where consistent placement and flawless execution are required at scale.

Deep Metal Engraving: Machine Settings That Matter

To achieve optimal results with the 50W fiber laser for deep metal engraving, understanding the right laser parameters is essential. The following are typical setting recommendations when working with common metals:

Stainless Steel

• Power: 90–100%

• Speed: 300–500 mm/s

• Frequency: 20–60 kHz

• Passes: 3–5 (for deep engraving)

Aluminum

• Power: 80–90%

• Speed: 500–1000 mm/s

• Frequency: 30–50 kHz

• Passes: 2–4

Brass and Copper

• Power: 95–100%

• Speed: 200–400 mm/s

• Frequency: 30–60 kHz

• Passes: 4–6 (depending on thickness)

Gold and Silver

• Power: 60–80%

• Speed: 600–900 mm/s

• Frequency: 20–40 kHz

• Passes: 1–2 for surface marking, 3+ for deeper engraving

These settings will vary depending on the finish you’re targeting—whether it’s a surface mark, black mark, or a deep cut. Users can fine-tune results using the EzCad software that comes with the Monport machine, enabling precise control of power, frequency, and marking depth.

Reliable and Long-Lasting Laser Source

The Monport 50W fiber laser includes a fiber laser source rated for up to 100,000 hours of use. This longevity is ideal for commercial use, reducing the total cost of ownership and downtime. It’s engineered to handle demanding workloads while delivering consistent performance on metals like titanium, stainless steel, anodized aluminum, and more.

Built-In Workspace with Expansion Options

The 7.9" x 7.9" workbed includes a grid layout and removable positioning bars for consistent placement. The flatbed design supports flat sheet materials, while the optional rotary attachment (sold separately) expands capabilities to include cylindrical items like rings, pipes, tumblers, and tools.

This versatility makes the Monport 50W an excellent choice for shops handling custom orders, repeat production, or detailed personalization.

Manual Focus System with Ruler Support

Precision begins with focus. The manual focus system on the Monport 50W includes a rotary height adjustment wheel and a built-in vertical ruler to help users achieve the correct focal distance for each material. This feature is especially helpful when switching between metals or thicknesses—ensuring clarity without over-burning or shallow marks.

Enhanced Laser Placement Guidance

Monport’s red-dot guidance system aligns perfectly with the laser path, allowing for accurate placement previews before the engraving process begins. This feature significantly reduces setup time and prevents costly placement errors, especially for high-value or one-off pieces.

Advantages of a 50W Fiber Laser for Deep Metal Engraving

When compared to lower-wattage models, a 50W fiber laser for deep metal engraving offers numerous benefits:

• Greater engraving depth and clarity

• Faster throughput for production

• Improved material compatibility

• Increased lifespan and reduced operating costs

• Professional-grade results with minimal setup

This makes it a powerful solution for industries such as aerospace, automotive, jewelry design, firearms, industrial equipment, and more.

Who Should Use the Monport 50W Fiber Laser?

This machine is ideal for:

• Manufacturers looking to mark parts for traceability and branding

• Jewelry makers requiring detailed, clean engravings on gold or silver

• Engraving professionals handling high-volume client work

• Small businesses entering the personalized product market

• Hobbyists and entrepreneurs scaling up their capabilities

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What materials can I engrave with the 50W fiber laser?

The Monport 50W fiber laser can engrave a wide range of metals including stainless steel, gold, silver, aluminum, brass, titanium, and more. It’s ideal for hard and soft metals alike.

Can the 50W fiber laser engrave non-metal materials?

Fiber lasers are optimized for metals. While they may mark certain plastics, they are not suitable for cutting or engraving wood, acrylic, or glass. For non-metal engraving, consider a CO2 laser.

How deep can the 50W fiber laser engrave into metal?

The depth depends on the metal type and the engraving settings, but a 50W fiber laser for deep metal engraving can typically reach up to 1mm depth on metals like stainless steel with multiple passes.

Does the machine come with a rotary attachment?

The Monport 50W fiber laser supports a rotary axis, but it is sold separately. This add-on allows you to engrave on curved surfaces such as rings, bottles, and pipes.
