MARKING WITH LASER TECHNOLOGY
The laser can be used to mark almost any material, be it metals, plastics, semiconductors, foils, glass and ceramics or organic surfaces such as wood, paper and leather. Depending on the radiation intensity, the material is discolored, engraved or melted. LaserAge has two special competences:
Cleaning and pre-treatment can be combined in such a way that outstanding quality with long-lasting legibility is achieved.
We also offer a complete package with integrated automation technology tailored to customer requirements.
- Rich in contrast
- Long-term legibility
- Flexible (fast program change)
- Efficient and process reliable
- Gentle on material
- Media-free (no abrasives or chemicals)
CLEANMARK
‘Laser marking’ is the technique of marking products, materials or workpieces using laser technology. We can mark in two ways: by removing material or by adding a darker layer (oxide layer) on a metal. Often a coloured aluminium anodised base substrate is used, With the laser we will remove the coloured layer. This is a rather simple process, but quality marking will depend on the laser beam quality to get a perfect focal spot stable in time. The other marking system consists in heating the surface in the right time frame to induce an oxide layer. This marking is used to mark stainless steel base materials. Can a cleaning laser also mark? No because we need a high quality laser beam. With the right optical components and software. P-laser Low power and Mid power lasers can mark and clean with a different setup.This is possible with a standard product. We also have related marking applications in the semi conductor industry to remove flash from production IC’s
