Raycus vs JPT
Raycus vs JPT
What is a laser source? The laser source is the "heart" of laser equipment—it is responsible for generating high-energy laser beams, enabling laser cleaning machines, marking machines, and cutting machines to "light and generate heat."In general, the laser source is the "engine" that generates laser light, determining the power, accuracy, and speed of the equipment.
Both are leading companies in China's laser industry: Raycus is known for its high-power industrial applications, while JPT is a leader in precision pulses. There is no single "better" option; it depends on your application (e.g., choose Raycus for cutting/welding, and JPT for fine marking/cleaning).
| Index | Raycus | JPT | Who wins? |
| Brand Origin | Wuhan, China (the world's largest manufacturer of fiber lasers) | Shenzhen, China (Pulse Laser Expert) | A draw (between the two domestic giants) |
| Power range | 20W-6000W (King of High Power) | 1W-500W (Low-to-medium power precision type) | Raycus (Heavy Industry); JPT (Fine Industry) |
| Stability | High (±2% power fluctuation), suitable for continuous operation | Extremely high (±1% fluctuation), low pulse width (ns/ps level) | JPT (Precision Applications) |
| Beam quality | Good (M² < 1.3, slightly worse at high power) | Excellent (M² < 1.1, suitable for micron-level processing) | JPT (Fine Marking/Cutting) |
| Price | More affordable (20-30% lower, high cost performance) | Higher (high-end positioning) | Raycus (Budget-friendly) |
| Lifespan/Warranty | >100,000 hours, 3-5 year warranty | >100,000 hours, 2-3 year warranty | Raycus (Longer Warranty) |
| Application scenarios | Cutting, welding, marking (heavy industry, such as automobiles/shipbuilding) | Marking, cleaning, 3D printing (precision, such as electronics/medical). | It depends on the specific needs. |
| Market share | China >50%, strong exports | Top 3 in the precision pulse market, with significant exports to Europe and America. | Raycus (larger overall) |
| Advantage | Low cost, high power, reliable and durable | Pure beam, flexible pulse, and precise machining | / |
| Shortcoming | The beam is slightly thicker at low power. | High price, few high-power options | / |
How to choose?
Raycus:You need high-power (>500W) industrial applications, such as metal cutting/welding/rust removal. Raycus boasts a high global market share and a stable supply chain (its Wuhan, China factory produces tens of thousands of units annually). Excellent price-performance ratio.
JPT：Precision machining, such as laser marking/cleaning/micro-engraving. JPT's pulsed technology (nanosecond/picosecond) produces a purer beam, suitable for low-power, delicate work, and is less prone to heat-affected substrates.
Summarize:Both can be used for medium-power marking/cleaning, but Raycus is more economical, while JPT offers more refined results.
The laser source is the "engine" of a laser device; the higher the power, the stronger the laser, and the higher the precision and quality, the better!
Choosing a laser source = Choosing power + application + budget！
