What are the advantages and disadvantages of laser marking machines, which industries can they be applied in?

Fiber laser equipment uses a high-energy-density laser beam to act on the surface of the processed product. Under the action of high-intensity energy, the product mark quickly vaporizes or undergoes a chemical reaction, leaving traces on the product surface. The surface in contact is not only smooth and natural but also does not damage the material adjacent to the marked surface. Laser processing is different from traditional processing methods. Laser processing needs to process the surface of the material, and it must be able to absorb the laser of this wavelength in order to process and produce, while traditional processing does not have this requirement. However, laser processing does not require consumables, nor will it cause deformation disturbance of the product, and the computer is used to control and operate flexibly during processing.

Advantage

  • Adopt an integrated overall structure, equipped with an automatic focusing system, and the operation process is humanized.
  • Use the original imported isolator to protect the fiber laser window and enhance the stability and laser life.
  • The beam quality is much better than the traditional solid laser marking machine. It is the basic mode (TEM00) output, and the diameter of the focus spot is less than 20 um. The divergence angle is 1/4 of the semiconductor pump laser. Especially suitable for fine and precise marking.
  • The electro-optical conversion efficiency is high, and the power consumption of the whole machine is less than 500W, which is 1/10 of that of the lamp-pumped solid laser marking machine, greatly saving energy consumption.
  • No maintenance required, long service life, small size, suitable for harsh environment.
  • The processing speed is fast and there are no consumables, which is 3-12 times of the traditional marking machine.
  • The marking software is powerful and can be compatible with files of software such as Coreldraw, AutoCAD, Photoshop, etc; Support PLT, PCX, DXF, BMP, etc., and can directly use SHX, TTF font libraries; Support automatic coding, printing serial number, batch number, date, barcode, QR code, automatic skip number, etc.
  • The marking machine irradiates the material through the melting physical changes that occur on the material. The marking is durable. As long as the marked mark is not deliberately damaged, it can be stored for a long time. Unlike inkjet printers, it is easy to wear and the mark disappears.

Disadvantage

  • When processing workpieces such as plastics, the marking effect is not as fine as that of UV laser marking machines, and it is easy to burn.
  • The color of the laser marking machine is relatively simple, and the printing is related to the material. The colors printed by different materials are different. The laser marking machine can only print three colors on the metal except for the material of the product itself.
