The Vision CO2 Laser Marking Machine from ZS Machinery is designed for high-efficiency marking on non-metal materials with automatic positioning capability.
By integrating a CO2 laser source with a high-precision vision recognition system, the machine can automatically detect the position and orientation of workpieces and complete marking without manual alignment or fixtures.
Compared with traditional CO2 laser marking machines, this system significantly improves efficiency and flexibility, especially in batch production where products are randomly placed or irregularly arranged.

Vision CO2 Laser Marking Machine
How the Vision CO2 System Works
The system combines a CCD vision camera, intelligent positioning software, and a CO2 laser source into a unified workflow.
Workpieces are placed on the working platform or conveyor without strict positioning. The vision system captures images in real time and analyzes feature points such as edges, contours, or predefined marks.
Once the system identifies the correct position, it automatically adjusts the marking coordinates and triggers the laser to perform precise marking.
This process eliminates the need for manual alignment, fixtures, or repeated adjustments, ensuring consistent results even when products are placed at different angles.
Key Advantages of ZS Machinery Vision CO2 System
High Flexibility for Non-Metal Products
The CO2 laser wavelength is ideal for materials such as wood, acrylic, leather, paper, and plastics.
With the addition of the vision system, products can be placed freely without worrying about orientation, which is especially useful for irregular or soft materials that are difficult to fix.
No Fixture Required
Traditional marking requires customized fixtures to ensure positioning accuracy.
ZS Machinery vision systems eliminate this requirement by using automatic image recognition, reducing setup time and saving fixture costs, especially in multi-product production environments.
Improved Production Efficiency
Operators only need to place products within the working area.
The system automatically detects, positions, and marks each item, reducing manual intervention and significantly increasing throughput compared to manual alignment processes.
Stable and Consistent Marking Quality
Even when products are slightly tilted or shifted, the system maintains high positioning accuracy.
This ensures uniform marking results across batches, which is critical for branding, packaging, and product identification.
Intelligent Software System
The marking software supports template storage and quick switching between different product types.
It can store multiple marking patterns and automatically call the correct program, making it suitable for flexible production lines with frequent product changes.

Visual CO2 Laser Marking On Paper
Difference Between Vision CO2 and Vision Fiber Laser
While both systems use vision positioning technology, their applications are fundamentally different.
Vision fiber laser marking machines are designed for metals such as stainless steel, aluminum, and brass.
Vision CO2 laser marking machines are specifically developed for non-metal materials such as wood, paper, leather, and acrylic.
In addition, CO2 lasers produce a thermal reaction on organic materials, resulting in better contrast and visual effects, which makes them more suitable for packaging, decoration, and branding applications.
Application Scenarios
The Vision CO₂ Laser Marking Machine is specifically designed for non-metal materials that respond well to thermal processing, such as organic materials and certain plastics. It is especially suitable for applications requiring fast marking, large-area processing, and flexible positioning.
Paper & Packaging Industry
Widely used for marking on:
Paper boxes, cartons, and corrugated packaging
Labels, coated paper, and packaging films
Typical markings: logos, production dates, batch numbers, QR codes
CO₂ laser provides high-speed marking with clear contrast on paper-based materials, making it ideal for packaging lines.
Leather & Textile Industry
Suitable for engraving and marking on:
Genuine leather and synthetic leather
Fabric, denim, and textile materials
Shoes, bags, and garment accessories
Typical applications: logo engraving, pattern cutting, branding marks
CO₂ laser creates clean, permanent marks without ink, widely used in fashion and footwear manufacturing.
Wood & Bamboo Products
Perfect for processing:
Wooden crafts and gift items
Furniture components
Bamboo products and MDF boards
Typical applications: logos, decorative patterns, branding
Produces natural contrast engraving effects, highly valued in decorative and customized products.
Acrylic & Transparent Materials
Applicable to:
Acrylic (PMMA) sheets
Display stands and signage
Typical applications: logos, text, and graphic engraving
CO₂ laser delivers smooth engraving edges and frosted visual effects, ideal for display and advertising industries.
Organic & Composite Materials
Used for marking on:
Rubber products
Paper-based composites
Certain coated or painted surfaces
Suitable for applications where surface removal or contrast marking is required.
About Plastic Materials
CO₂ laser can process some plastics, but it is material-dependent:
Works well on:
Acrylic (PMMA)
Some ABS / PVC / coated plastics
Not ideal for:
High-precision or heat-sensitive plastics
Applications requiring ultra-fine, non-thermal marking
In such cases, UV laser marking machines are usually a better choice due to minimal heat impact.
