Laser Marking

All of these points are bound to vary to some degree depending on the kind of laser marking process you need to work with. Whether you're laser marking on metal or soft wood, some laser marking systems are better for some materials than others. The same can be said about how these systems mark materials.

Whereas metals can take on more force, effective marking on a soft wood may require a gentler approach. Some of this considers the type of marking you're working with, but you would also be surprised at how adaptable these technologies really are. Regardless of whether it is different types of laser engravers or markers or simply learning the ins and outs of the tech itself, you want to speak with experts on the matter.

How Laser Marking Machines Transform Your Business

1. Laser Generation

The machine generates a laser beam through a gain medium, which could be fiber, CO2, or crystal. The type of medium affects the lasers wavelength and, consequently, the materials it can mark.

2. Beam Focusing

Lenses focus the laser beam to a pinpoint diameter. This concentrated energy increases the lasers intensity, allowing it to alter the materials surface precisely.

3. Marking Process

The focused laser interacts with the material through one of the following processes:

  • Annealing: Heats the material to change its color without removing any material.
  • Engraving: Removes a portion of the material to create a deep mark.
  • Foaming: Creates gas bubbles in plastics to raise the surface.
  • Coloration: Alters the material to display different colors.

4. Control System

A computer-guided system directs the laser beam, ensuring accuracy and consistency. You can input designs, serial numbers, or logos, and the machine does the rest.
