Use and Benefits of Fiber Laser Marking Machines

by Joseph Marie General In the recent years the use of laser marking has rapidly increased leaving behind all other traditional marking technologies. The popularity of this advanced marking technology can be ascribed to its highest quality marking output and adaptability in a variety of marking requirements and environments.  Fiber laser marking is the most popular laser marking technology so far and is accounted for majority of laser marking machines installed across the industries.

How laser marking is done?

Although there is a variety of laser marking technologies, the most advanced and widely adapted one is the fiber laser technology. Fiber laser marking machines basically function by doping the fiber with an earthen element called Ytterbium. After the fibers are doped with this element they have the ability to conduct light emitting diodes. These diodes are pumped to the optical heads and the light laser is created from it to mark the surface.

Fiber laser marking can be used on a wide variety of materials including different types of metallic surfaces to leather and plastic materials. Different metals that can be marked well by this technology include platinum, stainless steel, silver, gold, bronze, carbide, tungsten, copper, aluminum and medical-grade alloys.

Use of fiber laser marking

Fiber laser marking is a contactless marking or engraving procedure used for a wide range of industrial applications.

Marking medical and surgical equipment

Surgical equipment and pathological devices need to undergo frequent sterilization procedure. Often such procedures are conducted at high temperatures. Naturally the identification marks on these equipment are likely to erase faster if not marked with durable technology. Laser marking offers durable marking impression on these equipment that can withstand the cleansing process for years.

Jewelry marking

For either the creation of unique marks or for identification of or brand names, durable jewelry marking has become a necessity now.  For either copyright protection or for recovery of theft jewelry, these marks play a vital role. The precision driven laser engraving ensures permanent mark on jewelry.

Marking computer and mobile parts

Printed circuit boards of computers and mobile devices also undergo laser marking as they need to produce clear, prominent images that cannot be tampered through the wear and tear of uses and electronic applications.

The benefits of using fiber laser marking

Fiber laser marking machines offer high precision marking output and almost permanent marking results on any type of surface including the most hardened metals. Besides this functional benefit they are also cost effective as operational cost with these machines is just insignificant. This marking machine comes with components that have a huge life span requiring almost no maintenance and recurring expense. Moreover, when any part needs replacement the owner can do it himself without requiring any complex procedure or help from a technician. The latest range of fiber laser marking machines also come with a very low footprint saving spacious space in your manufacturing facility. The small footprint and user friendly design of advanced fiber laser marking machines used these days make them ideal fit into an assembly line or manufacturing unit of any size.
