What is a Laser Marking Machine?
Laser marking is a permanent process that uses a beam of concentrated light to create a lasting mark on a surface. Typically performed with a fiber, pulsed, continuous wave, green, or UV laser machine, laser marking encompasses a wide variety of applications. The most common types of laser marking applications are annealing, carbon migration, discoloration, engraving, and etching.
Laser light energy is measured using wavelengths, or nanometers. Specific wavelengths are used for different applications and can only be generated by certain types of lasers.
Fiber Lasers
Fiber lasers stimulate a rare-earth metal known as ytterbium to generate photons on the 1,064 nm wavelength. This wavelength is ideal to mark metals, as a good quantity of its energy is absorbed by the material.
Fiber Lasers
CO2 lasers stimulate CO2 gas to generate wavelengths between 9,000nm and 11,000nm, covering a wide range of organic materials that require different wavelengths. The most common wavelength for organic materials is 10,600nm.
Advantages of Laser Marking Machine
Fast and Cost-Effective
Laser marking is a fast, non-contact application that requires zero consumables. With nothing to repair or replace, laser marking costs are negligible. Because of zero-maintenance laser, laser markers have exceptional availability, resulting in high part throughput and fast ROI.
Doesn’t Compromise Quality
With laser marking, there is no need to etch a product or transmit ink onto the surface. Instead, laser light is focused onto a material to produce damage-free marks. One benefit of this tool is its beam quality, which leads to a smaller spot size of the laser. The small spot size, along with short pulses, produces high peak power which is beneficial in deep marking with crisp, clear marks and small characters.
Permanent Marking
Fiber lasers are available in a wide range of options so the marking process can be matched precisely to the materials and applications. From the deep engraving of automotive components to the permanent black marking of medical devices that must withstand continued sterilization, fiber lasers produce marking that endures.
Clean and Eco-Friendly
Other marking processes, such as inkjet or chemical etching, use inks and chemicals in their marking — which not only are expensive consumables for the business, but have a negative effect on the environment. Laser marking, on the other hand, does not use any consumables — making is clean, affordable and energy efficient. It also eliminates costs and downtime associated with cleaning, fixing or powering printers. While labels can peel off or become damaged over time, laser marking, provides permanent identification for parts and does not have to be performed multiple times.
Suitable Materials for Laser Marking
Laser marking is capable of engraving most metals. Lasers are also capable of marking plastics, ceramics, glass, and silicon. Composites, graphite, rubber, etc. may be marked in black or any other color depending on the material. Inscribing precious gems - such as rubies, sapphires, and even diamonds - also uses laser marking.
Integrated Circuit Industry
Integrated circuit elements are the most important units used to build circuits and systems. The Fiber Laser marking machine can be used to make markings on Integrated circuits boards and semiconductor components, including text and graphics. No mechanical pressure is generated due to the non-contact processing mechanism. The laser beam is extremely thin hence can be integrated on small components including capacitors and crystal oscillators.
Electronics Industry
In such a fast-evolving industry, it is crucial that efficiency is prioritized and the need to match the ever-increasing demand. This demand also expects quality and safety too. TVs, Laptops and smartphones are all made up of tiny and small substances. Fiber Laser marking is the most efficient for marking in this industry because of its ability to work with minute elements without damaging the surrounding material.
Medical Industry
Health establishments and manufacturers of medical equipment are subject to very strict standards in terms of position, size and content of the marking, thereby leaving no room for error. Markings must be resistant to cleaning with acid, corrosion and sterilization and high temperatures.
Jewelry and Accessories Industry
Fiber Laser machines can be used on precious stones such as gold and silver to make markings. Jewel brands could inscribe their jewels with their names or logos so as to identify their jewels from those of competitors. By adding a unique serial text or numbers, the jewel can be recognized later. It is important to keep this identifier a secret to avoid forgery. A personal may wish to add an inscription to a jewel as part of a dedication to a loved one.
Common Laser Marking Machines Components
Laser Generator
The laser generator is responsible for generating the laser beam; hence it is the core of how a laser marking machine works. It is the engine of any laser marking machine and the most expensive component on the list. Laser generators are majorly fiber or CO2 lasers. However, other types differ in their features, such as YAG lasers.
Laser Head
The laser head comprises the nozzle, focus lens such as the f-theta lens, focus tracking system, etc. The laser head depends on the device, with some having a handheld movable laser head and being responsible for determining the marking speed and the fineness of the output laser line.
Software/Display
The marking software is the machine’s brain, responsible for controlling the marking operation. Currently, there is much software for laser marking machines. For example, some laser markers have independently developed software while others use conventional software such as Ez CAD. Each software has a display unit through which the machine is controlled. Ensure the display unit is devoid of liquids and cleaned with dry, clean, and soft cloth.
Water Chiller
The water chiller is an important component of every laser marker that functions in cooling the machine. Laser marking machines generate heat, and the chiller can quickly and efficiently cool the laser source, laser head, and other devices. Ensure the chiller you get has input and output control device switches, stable performance, and advanced functions for cooling water flow
Fume Extractor
Laser markers generate fumes during the marking process and are removed from the marking scene by the fume extractor. These components are peculiar to CO2 laser engravers and help absorb and purify the harmful gases produced by the process.
Working Principle of Laser Marking Machine
Laser marking works by using a focused beam of light to mark the surface of a material. When the beam interacts with the material’s surface, it alters the material’s properties and appearance. This concentrated beam targets only a specified area, allowing the laser marking machine to create precise, high quality, high-contrast marks that are easy to read or scan on virtually any surface. This feature makes laser marking ideal for applications where accuracy and permanency are critical to success.
Daily Maintenance Tips for Laser Marking Machine
1. Check whether the field lens is dirty, wipe it with lens cleaning paper.
2. Check whether the focal length is within the standard focal length range, and test that the laser reaches a strong state.
3. Check whether the parameter setting screen on the laser is normal and whether the laser parameters are in the setting range.
4. Confirm that the switch is normal and effective, and check whether the power is on after pressing the switch, and whether the laser is working normally.
5. Check whether the machine is normally turned on, and whether the machine main switch, laser control switch, and laser marking system switch are normally turned on.
6. Clean the internal dust, dirt, and foreign matter of the laser marking equipment. Use a vacuum cleaner, alcohol, and dust-free cloth to remove dust, dirt, and foreign matter.
