Advantages of Using Fiber Laser Marking Machine?

by Joseph Marie General What is laser marking?

You must have seen some marking on objects like jewelry, ICs, automobile parts, etc. These markings are required for the identification of the items. These marking were initially made with the traditional marking systems such as the mechanical markers. But these mechanical markers were subject to wear and tear. Hence now-a-days, laser technique is used to mark the items. In this technique, a laser beam is used to engrave on the required materials. Since there is no contact between the material and machinery, the material is not subjected to abrasion. This process is called the laser marking.

What are fiber laser marking machines?

Fiber laser marking machines are available in the market for marking the required materials using the laser technique. These machines are used to mark a wide variety of materials like- metals, ceramics, rubber, plastics, etc. These machines are used for marking both - small and large dimensions. These machines are extremely robust and allow high precision during the process of marking.

Advantages of laser marking with traditional marking techniques:

There are a lot of advantages that you get by using a fiber laser marking machine when compared to the traditional mechanical devices.

o These machines consume lesser power when compared to the traditional ones.

o Since they are not very bulky, they come with an added advantage of ease of installation and operation.

o It supports continued work load for all 24 hours.

o The machines are also robust enough to ensure no breakdown during manufacturing and also minimum maintenance costs.

o It also has a working life of more than 100000 hours. Its thoughtful engineering ensures safety during the marking process.

Description and Content

The high speed and accuracy of the machines come because of the imported scan heads that are installed on these machines. It operates at a power of 20W. It operates at a minimum line width of 0.01mm which allows it to get the red line positioning at ease. Depending on the type of the material on which it is operated, this machine provides a minimum marking depth of less than 0.2mm. It operates with compatible file formats like JPEG, PNA, and TIF.

They make use of Epoxy resin and relevant electroplating materials for the purpose of coating. Marking is done on a variety of materials such as plastic (such as ABS, PP, PES, and PVC), ceramic and rubber.
The marking content, generally involves:

• Date and time for the products,

• Bar code details

• Special symbols

• Product logos.

Where is it used?

All places where you see the alphabets engraved on the items is done by some marking technique. Laser marking technique is used in a lot of industries like:

a. IC fabrication- to mark on Integrated circuits that are minute in nature.

b. Medical tools- where generation needs to be precise

c. Instruments and sanitary ware- up-to-date large area marking are involved.

The lesser common industries where laser marking is used are the jewelry engraving, automobile parts marking and the PCBs markings.
