Fiber Laser Marking Machine (1.06 µm wavelength)

Our fiber laser marking machine is the most recent development in laser marking technology that uses a low-maintenance solid-state laser source. They have an effective cooling system. As a result, they are very popular among the existing laser marking systems.

Furthermore, they do not require consumable materials, and you don’t have to worry about maintenance. As a result, our Fiber laser marking tools are reliable, safe, and good for the environment.

These fiber laser marking machines are ideal for marking metals such as stainless steel, aluminum, and some plastics.

The following parts are marked using our fiber laser marking/engraving machines.

UV Laser Marking (0.355 µm wavelength)

Unlike the previous two laser marking tools, UV lasers use ultraviolet light. The UV laser light breaks the bonds holding the material surface together.

The atomization is a cold process, producing no peripheral heating. In contrast, IR and other laser types produce intense local heat that can melt or vaporize more fragile compounds and cause serious damage to surrounding areas.

UV laser poses no risk to the strength or thermal integrity of the target materials. As a result, these tools are great engraving lasers for delicate materials like plastics and thin latex.

UV laser marking samples

Because UV laser systems can work at very high speeds, they can help you reduce cycle times for your industrial operations.

You can use them to mark semiconductors and plastics such as PVC, ABS, and Polypropylene. You can also use them on metals, paper, ceramic chips, etc.

There is a constant requirement for applications in industry to product traceability and identification. This could be while in production or during its life cycle under different operating conditions using the state of the art laser engraving machines.

Quick Introduction to Laser Marking Machine Mechanism

Laser marking is a non-contact process that creates readable marks by generating a visual contrast between the text and the background. Below are the several lasers marking techniques available

Laser Engraving

This method changes specular reflection because it removes material from the surface. It mostly applies to metals. There is an optimal frequency and speed so that evaporation can occur for the particular material. Lasers with short pulses and high peak power generally give the best results and are best suited for these applications.

Laser Etching (Ablation)

This method removes coating or lacquer layers from the base material. For example, the ablation of the oxide layer of anodized aluminum exposes the metal beneath it. Due to the high temperatures ablation markers produce, they heat the surface past its vaporization point. While doing no damage to the base material, this makes your marking pattern or text visible. This type of laser system is used for fine laser marker applications.

Laser Annealing

In laser annealing, the marking machine laser beam heats the surface where marks appear due to oxidation. The surface gets its colored appearance as a result of the composition and thickness of the oxide layer. It is highly applicable in stainless steel and titanium part marking

Laser Color Change

As a rule, this mechanism of marking laser systems usually processes plastics, heating them in precise spots. The heat destroys carbon on the surface, so plastics get darker (e.g., carbonization) or lighter (e.g., bleaching). The exact outcome depends on the type and composition of the plastic or polymer.

Laser color change

Laser Foaming

In this case, the laser machine beam heats the polymer to a given, so some elements begin to foam. Due to the volume change, the material bulges outward. This produces clear textured marks. This type of laser system is extremely useful for applications in products where clear marking is required.

Laser Etching Machine Cost, How Much Does It Cost?

Although you might think that laser etching machines are very expensive, the cost is nothing for the amount of work you can get out of these marking machines.

The laser marking machines cost from $1500 to $12000 depending upon the machine’s size, quality, power, and other factors. As a result, it might be difficult for you to choose the right-priced machine for your task. However, don’t worry since HeatSign will guide you through the process and make you choose the best machine for your needs. All you need to do is contact us through the various contact methods, and you will be guided thoroughly.
