How Laser Marking
Machines Have Revolutionized the Manufacturing Industry
Understanding what laser marking machines
are capable of can make you appreciate the number of uses it has been put
through in the manufacturing industry. Consumer electronics, promotional,
engineering, medical, automotive, are only some of the prominent industries
employing the use of laser marking
machines. The consumer and automotive industry marking allows marking of corporate logos, bar codes and
etchings.
What is a
laser?
A laser is a kind of light or beam, which is powerful enough to
penetrate and mark a surface. It is like a tool, but a more sophisticated one. Scientists
discovered it in 1960s. Soon enough, the manufacturers realized its potential
in the production industry and began employing it widely in vast number of
industrial procedures. Laser etching and marking are terms often used
interchangeably, and the only difference between them is that laser etching
employs the use of certain masks and chemicals.
Engraving, etching or marking through a laser is a simple procedure;
however, the precision and fineness of details is mind blowing when lasers are
used.
What Can
Lasers Do
In the manufacturing industry, laser-marking machines are used for the following purposes:
- weld
- heat condition
- etch
- engrave
- mark
It is used in the goods and manufacturing industry to mark and engrave
the following material ;
- coated metal
- wood
- acrylic (Plexigla
- glass
- leather
- marble
- plastic
- fiberglass
- PETG
- thin polycarbonates (Mylar)
- styrene expanded PVC (Sintra)
The
Benefits of Using Laser Marking Machines
- Laser marking machines can easily penetrate through multifarious profiles.
- Laser marking is a single procedure, does not require the employment of supplementary procedures, and thus reduces operational hassles.
- Due to the unison of procedures, laser marking is cost effective in terms of reducing operational costs.
- Due to its precision and finesse of details, laser marking produces similar results each time.
- It leaves behind no uneven edges, rough projections and residue.
- It lessens chances of contamination and distortions.
- It provides aesthetic finish to the products.
- It can mark and etch surfaces that are fairly minute and not visible from naked eye.
- CO2 lasers make the marking of glass more clear-cut.
- The automotive industry marking comprises adding resilient, highly contrasted markings to car interiors and exteriors.
- Laser enables the marking of products in the most efficient manner that is, from one to ten thousand items in an assembly line can be marked at a rate of milliseconds per character.
Thus, using laser marking machines has revolutionized the
production industry in unimaginable ways. The speediness and efficiency of this
technology has reduced operational costs and time, eliminated the need for
supplementary supplies and boosted production.
