Laser Marking Fiber, Nd:YVO4, Green, UV and CO2 Laser Markers

Product catalog summary

Overview of Laser Marking Technologies
Laser marking involves using lasers such as Fiber, Nd:YVO4, Green, UV, and CO2 to mark materials. The process is facilitated by mirrors mounted on galvo motors, which steer the laser beam to create marks with high precision and speed. The beam is focused using an F-Theta lens, allowing for fine spot diameters and minimal heat input.

Laser Marking Process
The laser marking process can ablate, melt, vaporize, or remove material with spot diameters ranging from 0.002” to 0.01”. It uses short pulses of 30 nanoseconds for precise control, typically penetrating less than 0.001” into the material unless deeper penetration is required.

Features and Benefits

Marks text, barcodes, datamatrix codes, logos, and graphics.
Supports various file formats like .jpg, .bmp, and .dxf.
Integrates with external databases for variable text and data codes.
Windows® based control software with marking fields up to 12” x 12”.
Character size can be as small as 0.004”.
RS232 and external I/O for easy integration.
Rotary motion for circumferential welding.

Benefits include: Non-contact process, no post-processing, high speed and quality, permanent marks, dynamic sizing, and compatibility with a wide range of materials.

Applications and Material Suitability
Laser marking is ideal for plastics, providing high-quality, contrasting marks without post-processing. It is also effective on metals like stainless steel and titanium, producing permanent, high-contrast marks suitable for medical and pharmaceutical applications. The document provides a detailed table of material contrast suitability, highlighting excellent results on materials like anodized aluminum, carbon steel, and ABS plastics.

Part Tracking and Traceability
Laser marking systems can mark characters, barcodes, or datamatrix codes on various materials, facilitating direct part marking for identification. These systems can link to databases to automatically update serial numbers or data codes, which can be verified by in-system readers.

Free Evaluation Service
Miyachi Unitek offers a free evaluation service for laser marking applications. Customers can send samples to the laser applications lab for marking and receive a written evaluation and product recommendation.

Laser Marking Examples Steel Component Anodized Aluminum Plastic Molded Part Medical Implantable Device Fine Mark Next to Penny Marking Plastics Lasers are the best solution for marking plastics, as many inks either have difficulty adhering to them or quickly wear away, and many labels simply will not stick. Other processes produce unclear marks or require post-process operations. Laser marks generally require no post-process finishing operations and so can be shipped immediately. Lasers produce contrasting, high quality marks on a wide range of plastics. With the development of additive pigments...
