Following technologies are available for laser engraving machines.
Fiber laser marking plastic.
Laser marking machine of integration design affordable fiber laser marker for various types of metals and some plastics comes with laptop and standard lens for marking a range of 4 4 inch.
Co2 based laser engraver.
When setting up a fixed pulse length fiber laser for marking two inputs must be set.
Mostly used to engrave metal anodized aluminum and plastic.
Fiber based laser engraving machine.
Fiber laser marking of plastics laser marking is fundamentally different from ink printing the traditional method of marking on plastics.
Green laser engraving machines.
The most popular lasers for plastic applications are the famous uv laser the green wave flypeak laser by lasit and the traditional green light laser with fiber optic source in most cases we recommend using a mopa laser meaning with variable pulse.
Pump power in percent 100 refers to the maximum possible electrical input to the pump diodes.
Thanks to the pulse duration control this laser ensures maximum performance in the most difficult applications.
Thus a more accurate term would be to mark the material.
According to how a material is engraved.
Since not all plastics will react the same way to laser processing it s always a good idea to have your material tested before purchasing.
Generally the fiber laser generates a white mark on any plastic base color.
Fiber lasers can also create different appearances when laser marking plastics which include foaming carbonizing and color changing.
Direct ink printing puts an image on the surface of the plastic which can be removed by abrasion or solvents but laser marking can provide an indelible high contrast mark in the material itself with no.
Pulse repetition rate often referred to as pulse frequency and.
Laser marking on plastic can be obtained with either a co 2 or a fiber laser source.
A fiber laser from epilog is the perfect choice for marking engineered plastic parts with barcodes serial numbers and logos.
The laser choice will depend on the application requirements.
When setting up a variable short pulse mopa fiber laser for marking three inputs are set.
Can mark on reflective materials copper.
The co 2 laser is more often used for etching or engraving on the plastic.
It only changes the color of it.
Used for engraving jewelry rubber stamps name plate rating plate thermoplastic etc.
