Various Aspects of Fiber Laser Marking Machine Explained

by Joseph Marie General Advantages of laser marking over other marking technologies are widely acclaimed now. Thanks to its increasing popularity as a labeling technology it has quickly become the most preferred means of marking and engraving across various manufacturing industries. Fiber laser marking is now the most popular labeling technology. There is an array of advantages for using fiber laser marking machines. From precise identification marks on product inventories to more durable consumer information marking on products, fiber laser marking transformed the marking output and the way it is carried out on variety of surfaces. The wide variety of materials and surfaces that can be marked using this technology made it one of the most flexible means of marking commercial and industrial purposes.

Basics of fiber laser marking technology

Before going further into the discussion concerning fiber laser marking machines, we should begin with the basic attributes of laser marking technology. There are other types of laser marking machines as well, but the latest and most advanced laser marking technology is the fiber laser marking. Fiber laser marking machine uses fiber pumping technology to dope the fibers with an earthen element called Ytterbium.

Thanks to this element the fibers become more capable to release light-emitting diodes. These diodes are pumped thereafter to the optical heads. From the concentration of light emitting diodes at the optical head makes the beam of light or laser beam to conduct marking on any surface.  The laser beam created in this method creates marks in the below mentioned ways.

 Laser marking and engraving

 Removing material layer

 Etching the material surface by changing the material color

 Bonding

Fiber laser marking can be conducted on a wide range of materials including metallic surfaces, leather and plastic. Almost all types of metal respond very well to fiber laser marking including platinum, stainless steel, silver, gold, bronze, carbide, tungsten, copper, aluminum or medical grade alloys.

Usage of fiber laser marking

Fiber laser marking machines are used for diverse marking and engraving purposes and applications. Here below we are going to offer a few instances.

Medical and surgical equipments: Surgical equipments and various other medical devices require frequent cleansing and sterilization at high temperatures. Naturally, identification marks and labels need to withstand such rigorous cleansing without causing any damage to the product. For such durable marking impression fiber laser marking is the most suited technology.

Jewelry engraving:  Jewelry engraving is needed for giving jewelry products brand information and product details. Furthermore, some jewelry pieces are given engraving marks of date, name, etc as the customer prefers.  This type of engraving not only needs precision but also requires durability against the wear and tear of usage.

Laser cutouts: Laser cutout is used to cut out a name, date, text, graphic figure or other designs on jewelry or other surfaces.

Delicate marking: For delicate and high precision marking such as the marking used on computerized parts like printed circuit boards fiber laser marking is used to produce clear, high resolution impressions.

Advantages of fiber laser marking machines

Fiber laser marking machines require least minimum expenses as far as maintenance and replacement of parts is considered. The diodes of fiber laser markers have a higher lifespan requiring least concern on the part of customers for replacing them. Moreover, when one really needs replacement it can be done without any need to contact a qualified technician for the same.

Quality of the laser beam is far better in fiber laser marking machines as compared to other types of marking machines. While one always enjoys the best marking output these machines require least amount of space. A compact fiber laser marking machine has a very small footprint. Naturally, one can install such a machine in any location without causing much concern over space and this makes such marking machine ideal for any assembly line or factory or workshop. As a final verdict it can be said that fiber laser marking machines are less space consuming, more effective, convenient and tremendously cost effective solution to all marking needs across different industries and manufacturing units.
