Laser Marking Machines
Laser marking machines are advanced tools used for etching, engraving, or marking a variety of materials, including metals, plastics, ceramics, and more, with high precision and speed.
Fiber Laser Marking Machine
The Fiber Laser Marking Machine, being an industrial marking tool, seamlessly integrates with laser marking software to control galvanometer scanners. These scanners effectively facilitate the relative motion between the laser spot and the workpiece. Moreover, at the core of this machine’s marking mechanism control system, lasers and optics synergize to ensure precise and efficient marking processes.
CO2 Laser Marking Machine
SIL CO2 laser markers are widely used in the field of non-metal industry such as garment & shoes engraving, fabric cutting, handicrafts & gift, food printing, soft drink printing, beverage, rubber marking, acrylic marker, marking on plastic, leather engraving industries, automobile industries, personal care products, medical packaging, crystal, organic glass, paper cutting, dual color-board, ceramic, coated metals & many more such applications.
UV Laser Marking Machine
The UV Laser Marking Machine with its wavelength 355nm is suitable for marking plastics (ABS, PA) due to a high repetition rate. The UV laser wavelength is suitable and versatile in marking a wide range of materials and is perfect for “cold marking” applications where heat zones are not allowed.
3D Laser Marking Machine
The 3D Laser Marking Machine utilizes a mirror galvanometer to scan the laser beam and create markings on the surface of the product. By adjusting the focus lens, the laser beam can be controlled not only on the x and y axes but also on the z axis.
Color Laser Marking Machine
Using our Enhanced Performance Color Laser Marking Machine, clients can create decorative color laser marking on stainless steel, steel, and titanium.
Jewellery Laser Marking Machine
We have designed an Enclosed Jewellery Laser Cutting Marking Machine specifically for the jewellery industry. This machine is capable of marking on a variety of materials such as gold, silver, platinum, copper, and stainless steel. Additionally, we offer an optional rotary attachment for the Gold Laser Marking Machine, which can be controlled by software to mark on round or curved objects like rings and bracelets. Our precision round scale ensures accurate positioning of markings, even on highly curved surfaces.
How Laser Marking Machines Work
- Laser Source: The core component is the laser, which generates a focused beam of light. Different types of lasers are used depending on the material and the type of marking required. Common types include fiber lasers, CO2 lasers, and UV lasers.
- Beam Delivery: The laser beam is directed towards the workpiece through a system of mirrors and lenses. Galvanometer scanners are often used to direct the beam rapidly across the surface.
- Marking Process: The focused laser beam interacts with the surface of the material, resulting in:
- Engraving: The laser removes material to create a depth in the surface.
- Etching: The laser modifies the surface, creating a visible mark without significant depth.
- Annealing: The laser heats the surface, causing oxidation and color change.
- Foaming: The laser induces bubbles in plastic materials, creating raised marks.
Applications
- Industrial: Used for marking parts and components in automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing industries for traceability and identification.
- Electronics: Marking circuit boards, chips, and other electronic components with identifiers and technical information.
- Medical Devices: Ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements by marking surgical instruments, implants, and tools.
- Jewelry and Art: Engraving intricate designs and personalizing items like rings, bracelets, and awards.
- Consumer Goods: Marking products like smartphones, laptops, and other gadgets with logos, serial numbers, and design elements.
Advantages of Laser Marking Machines
- Precision: Capable of producing very fine, detailed marks with high repeatability.
- Speed: High marking speed, which enhances production efficiency.
- Non-contact Process: The laser does not physically touch the material, reducing the risk of damage.
- Versatility: Can mark a wide range of materials with various effects.
- Permanent Marking: The marks are durable and resistant to wear, corrosion, and heat.
- Environmental Benefits: Often more eco-friendly than traditional marking methods as they do not require inks or chemicals.
Considerations
Initial Cost: High upfront investment compared to other marking technologies.
Material Compatibility: Specific lasers are needed for different materials.
Maintenance: Requires regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance.
