What is a Laser Marking Machine?

Laser marking is a set of non-contact marking techniques used in making permanent marks on the part surface. The marking system of the Laser Marking Machine is non-contact as it uses a laser beam generated by a laser marking machine. Manufacturers can use the marking laser system to create permanent markings in the form of texts, codes, graphics, and numbers on parts and machines without surface damage.

Types of Laser Marking Techniques

 

Laser Engraving

This process involves the removal of some materials from components’ surfaces using laser beams. During the process, the material will absorb heat from the laser, melt, and evaporate, creating marks in the form of depressions. The material will also react with air, causing a color change to make the mark more distinctive. 

 

Laser Etching

laser etching process

This highly versatile process creates marks on workpieces by melting their surfaces. The laser beam produces a raised mark by delivering high amounts of energy to a small, localized area. Consequently, the surface will melt and expand, changing the color to black, gray, or white. 

 

Laser Annealing 

In laser annealing, the laser beam will heat the material surface locally to create the mark. The beam only penetrates between 20 to 30 µm into the material surface, thereby resulting in a very minimal change on the surface. The localized heating causes color changes in the material. The marking could be black, red, yellow, or green, depending on the temperature of the heated layer. 

 

Laser Marking Machine Types

 

3000W Tube Laser Cutter

Fiber Laser Marking

Fiber laser marking machines are compatible with many materials, whether metals, plastics, or composite. They have a 1064nm wavelength and are better suited for metal marking. Furthermore, their high power makes them applicable in laser annealing and engraving. However, they cannot mark transparent objects like glasses because the laser beam will pass through without affecting them.

3000W Tube Laser Cutter

UV Laser Marking

UV lasers or cold lasers have an absorptive wavelength of 355nm. They are called cold lasers due to the lesser heat dissipation during marking compared to the fiber laser marking systems and CO2 laser marking systems. They are suitable for making delicate parts and pieces of jewelry, and also suitable for glass and plastic.

3000W Tube Laser Cutter

CO2 Laser Marking

CO2 laser marking machines have high wavelengths (about 10x the wavelength of standard wavelength systems). They are suitable for marking organic substances such as resins, paper, wood, rubber, and plastics. Unlike the fiber lasers, the CO2 laser marking system cannot mark metals due to the non-absorption of the laser light.

 

Advantages of Laser Marking Machine

 

 

Complete Traceability

With laser marking, you get to mark directly and permanently on the part. And unlike other marking methods, the marking process can be performed at the beginning of the production line. Even if the marking is performed before treatments like shot blasting and e-coating, you keep high-quality marks throughout the part’s entire lifetime. You don’t need to worry about preserving the quality of data matrix codes, barcodes, or alphanumeric serial numbers.

 

No Consumables

Having no consumables simplifies the marking operation, and it contributes to improving health and safety in the workplace by replacing technologies that use chemicals or ink. Getting rid of consumables is also cost-effective since you reduce yearly operation costs.

 

Bare Maintenance

Laser marking machines and systems have no moving parts, which means that their components are less likely to break. Laser machines thus require less maintenance and are less wasteful than the machines they replace. Their laser source is highly reliable, having a mean time before failure of 100,000 hours, which can represent over 10 years of operation depending on the daily use.

 

Environmentally Friendly

Laser marking systems do not use consumables such as chemicals compared to inkjet marking. As a result, there is a lesser chance of ejection of harmful materials into the environment. Furthermore, unlike dot peening, laser technology does not produce noise, making them eco-friendly.

Application of Laser Marking Machine

Jewelry and Goldsmiths

the laser allows you to obtain precise and accurate engravings in a short time, without damaging the treated object in any way and acting on surfaces that are difficult to reach or on particularly delicate or fragile components. For this reason, the laser can be used successfully in the goldsmith sector or in all other areas of craftsmanship where it is necessary to carry out accurate and precise interventions, paying particular attention to the final aesthetic result.

Micro-Cuts

a correctly calibrated laser marker is able to cut surfaces a few millimeters thick, guaranteeing extremely accurate intervention. The procedure requires a certain amount of time, because the laser cuts by repeatedly passing over the same portion of the object, but the results are particularly satisfactory from the point of view of accuracy.

Photoengraving

The laser also allows for photoengraving on metals, reproducing an image or photograph on the chosen surface. This application exploits the ability of the laser to use heat to engrave the material or to blacken it, and allows to obtain extremely satisfactory results (obviously influenced by the resolution of the starting image).

 

Components of Laser Marking Machines

 

 

Laser Source

This component is the heart of the laser printing machine. It generates a high-intensity laser beam. It is the foundation for the marking process. In this case, the laser source determines the type and power of the laser used. Different materials require different laser wavelengths and strengths for optimal marking quality. The laser source is critical in achieving precision and accuracy in markings.

 

Control System

This component manages and coordinates the entire laser marking process. It includes hardware and software components that regulate the laser’s parameters. Some parameters include laser intensity, speed, and scanning patterns. This device interprets instructions from the operator and translates them into laser movements. It ensures that the laser marking machine operates consistently and accurately.

 

Computer CPU

We can call it the brain of the laser marking machine’s control system. It runs the necessary software for designing, configuring, and executing laser marking tasks. It processes complex algorithms and coordinates data flow. It communicates with the various components of the machine and ensures seamless operation. The user interface displayed on the computer monitor allows operators to interact with the device. It also allows you to make real-time adjustments.

 

Other Accessories

Other accessories are connected to the control system except for the above parts. These additional components include safety interlocks, exhaust systems, cooling systems, and rotary attachments.

 

 

Working Principle of Laser Marking Machine

The laser marking technology creates lasting marks on component surfaces by generating focused beams of light containing high energy levels. The built-up energy is released in the coherent light beam directed at the material surface using mirrors. 

As a result of the light beam interacting with the component’s surface, there is a transfer of heat energy from the beam to the surface. Therefore, the appearance and properties of the material will change. Depending on the energy level, the laser can engrave, etch, anneal, or discolor surfaces with great precision. 

The concentrated beam targets only specific areas on the material, ensuring precise, high-contrast, and high-quality marks. These marks are permanent, and you can easily read or scan them on any surface. As a result, this marking process is ideal for operations where permanency and accuracy are critical.

Daily Maintenance Tips for Laser Marking Machine 

 

Create a Routine

The best way to maintain any sort of heavy equipment is by creating an inspection routine. Ensuring you regularly inspect your laser marking machine can help prevent damages and other operational issues. Using the included resources, such as manuals, give your device a thorough check-up before and after use. Look for anything out of the ordinary, like broken and/or misaligned parts or components. If you’re unsure of anything concerning this routine inspection, it’s best to contact the distributor for more information. 

 

Use Proper Techniques

Industrial laser marking machines are complex and require proper operating procedures to ensure success and reduce the likelihood of functional problems. Even though these devices are very hands-off regarding human labor, you still must always operate the machines correctly. Training is obviously important as it can help you identify issues before they get out of hand, helping extend the lifespan of your device. We recommend reviewing workplace and operation standards every few months to keep them fresh and at the top of your mind. By committing to perfection and thoughtfulness while working, your laser marking equipment will remain functional for years to come.

 

Clean Often

When we say “clean often,” we mean often. You should conduct a quick cleaning before and after each and every use of your device. The most important thing to do each time is clean the lens as it is an essential component that gets dirty quickly. Turn off your equipment before cleaning the lens to avoid accidental injuries. Be thorough but not too aggressive as these objects are fragile and can be damaged with improper techniques. You may need to remove a lens during this process, so ensure you handle the part with care. Aside from lens maintenance, wipe off any debris on your laser marking machine when possible. By cleaning every day, you can increase the functionality and lifespan of your equipment significantly.

Ultimate FAQ Guide to Laser Marking Machine 

Q: What are the applications of laser marking?

A: Laser marking has a wide industrial application in traceability and part identification. Manufacturers can use a laser marker to apply expiry dates, bar codes, manufacturing dates, and logos on products. As a result, laser marking technologies are used in the food, medical, aerospace, automobile, and electronic industries.

Q: What materials can be marked with a laser marking machine?

A: Lasers are also capable of marking plastics, ceramics, glass, and silicon. Composites, graphite, and rubber 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.

Q: What is the difference between laser ablation and laser marking?

A: Laser etching produces shallow marks. Laser engraving produces deep marks that can withstand exposure to harsh operational or environmental conditions. Laser ablation produces marks by removing surface coatings (e.g., painted or anodized layers) to expose underlying layers.

Q: Does laser marking disappear?

A: Since lasers physically process a target by engraving it, etching it or changing its color, laser marking can be semi-permanent.

Q: I should not look directly at laser light, right?

A: Do not stare directly into the laser light, mirror-reflected laser light, or diffuse-reflected laser light. You may lose your eyesight if you directly expose your eyes to laser light. Operators must wear dedicated protective goggles to protect their eyes while using laser equipment.

Q: What does “marking space” mean?

A: Conventional laser markers can only be marked in 2D, so their total marking window is called a "marking area." 3-axis laser markers open up marking in 3D, so their total marking window is referred to as a "marking space."

Q: What is the maximum marking speed of a laser marking machine?

A: Laser marking machines have always been considered very fast devices at various marking speeds, but they also have limitations. The theoretical speed of the manufacturer is 9000mm/s, and some marking opportunities are lower than this speed, about 7000mm/s.

Q: What is laser marking for parts?

A: Laser systems generate permanent markings by etching the surface of the material. The resulting reaction creates black and white marks directly on the part's surface. You can mark a wide variety of materials using fiber and CO2 lasers, including stainless steel, anodized aluminum, steel, zinc, and more.

Q: How deep is laser part marking?

A: In the laser engraving process, the mark depth is typically up to 0.005 inches. A subset of this process, known as deep laser engraving, is characterized by a mark that is greater than 0.005 inches deep. These marks are extremely durable and beneficial for industries where marks need to withstand harsh conditions.

Q: Is it possible to mark barcodes and QR codes with a laser marking machine?

A: Yes, the machine can produce permanent logos, serial numbers, QR codes, or barcodes!

Q: Can laser marking be used for medical devices?

A: Yes. There are many different types of medical devices that can be marked with lasers, including parts such as stents, dental implants, hip replacements, pacemakers, catheters, and surgical tools as seen above. Laser medical marking is a safe, permanent, compliant, and efficient way to mark medical devices.

Q: What is the resolution of a laser marking machine?

A: In most cases, a resolution of 300 or 400 DPI would be okay. You might need a high resolution, such as 600 or 1200 DPI for photo engraving for some applications but again this depends on what you want to achieve and the size of your material.

Q: Can a laser marking machine mark round or curved surfaces?

A: Laser marking is best kept to flat surfaces, but some laser markers can also mark larger round parts (with > 4” radius of curvature).

Q: How do I maintain the lens of my laser marking machine?

A: Clean the focal lens with a cotton swab and lens cleaner solution. Make sure you clean both sides of the focal lens. Use a cotton swab to gently dry the focal lens and lens cover after cleaning.

Q: Can I laser mark on the glass?

A: The glass allows visible light, such as your laser beam, to pass through it without any resistance. The only way to mark glass with your type of laser would be by an indirect method. Coat it with something dark, such as a black marker.

Q: How to choose line thickness for laser marking?

A: As a general rule of thumb, we recommend a minimum line width of 0.2mm or 0.5mm if inverted.
