Laser cutting and laser engraving are two processes that use laser machines. As a result, they fall into the same category of a process called laser marking methods. Due to them falling in the same category, it is possible to confuse them with each other. Therefore, this article aims to talk about the disparity and…
A common way to know about any machine is to look for parameters that judge its functions and sometimes its aesthetics. For example, when getting a laser marking machine, you will likely look for parameters such as power output, marking speed, size, etc. These parameters come from the properties of the components of the laser…
When people talk about laser marking, the picture they have on their mind is most time, 2D laser marking. However, nowadays, 3D laser marking is becoming common in marking 3D pictures, names, etc., on products and materials due to the introduction of depth into marking and the process’s accuracy, precision, and speed. This post…
For many marking enthusiasts, having the right laser marking machine can separate a successful and quality marking from an unsuccessful one. Additionally, understanding how a laser marking machine works and its operation can help select the right machine. Laser marking is the commonest marking system due to its accuracy, precision, speed, and material compatibility. It…
When people say marking systems, whether laser, dot peen, or inkjet, they think of more of their industrial applications. However, these marking systems are suitable for both commercial and industrial applications. In terms of the commercial applications of these marking systems, this article will talk about some household materials and products you should try to…
Dot peening is one of the most common marking systems used industrially for projects that call for deep and permanent marks. For example, it is a favorite in the gas cylinder marking for product identification and traceability. Like any marking system, many people, whether operators or clients, make many mistakes regarding the process. Below are…
Depth is an important property desired in part marking due to the need for clarity and readability. Not all marking systems can boast of depth. For example, inkjet marking and laser marking systems such as laser etching and annealing. Depth and speed are contrasting properties, as a desire to increase the depth will reduce the…
There are many misconceptions about the use of marking systems in industrial settings, especially regarding the shapes of products to be marked. A common one is that marking systems are suitable for only flat products. This is not true. Many marking systems are suitable for several shapes and dimensions. This article will introduce the different…
Marking and coding in the food industry are crucial in traceability, identification, and efficient information dissemination. All these functions ensure that the food industry maintains food safety, a stringent industry requirement. Markings and coding used in the food industry must have unique properties such as high readability and clarity. However, these properties depend on the…
Part marking is an essential process that most industries consider to achieve traceability and branding. Part marking, like any industrially applicable process, has its set of difficulties. For example, no standard solution for engraving texts, characters, or logos on any product exists. Most marking enthusiasts capitalize on the fact that the material you want to…
Laser engraving involves using a light beam to remove the surface of a material, leaving the surface hollow. The amount of material removed from the workpiece depends on the type of laser marking machine you are using, and the process is controlled to ensure that the hole does not become too deep. Laser power is…
Laser ablation is a lesser-known technique among the many laser techniques used industrially for several processes. Gordon Gould invented the technique when he switched to the Q-switching method as this produces pulsed laser beams with high peak power that can ablate different materials. Laser ablation is applicable for marking, cutting, texturing, and cleaning different materials.…
Noise is a fluctuation in air pressure that leads to a high sound level that affects the body. Also indicating unwanted sound, noise is an integral part of any manufacturing industry that should be regulated and controlled due to its risks. This is especially important in industrial part marking as marking systems specialists are constantly…
Laser part marking is significant in several industries due to the high need for part traceability, branding, and other reasons. It is an extensive marking system with several processes and marking technologies leading to many questions on how to use the process to improve quality, reduce counterfeiting, and more. Getting to know about the right…
If your automobile engineer decides to change a component in your vehicle, you would know the changed component used based on its markings. Assuming you think the part is flawed and you activate product recall, the component manufacturer can also know about the history of the component and whether your claim is valid. Knowing about…
Laser marking is applicable in many industries for marking their products. Unlike other marking processes, e.g., dot peening, inkjet marking, etc., the process comprises several marking methods and laser markers, each conferring unique properties on the product and suitable for different materials. Laser marking is suitable for marking many products made from different material categories…
