Laser marking and laser etching are becoming more and more important in a growing number of industries. The laser mark or laser etch can quickly and easily be changed without any machine change over, and, without replacing any tools. These types are mostly available in a manufacturing setting. Laser etching machine is one of the most high tech solutions for permanently personalizing and artfully branding anything you have in your possession.
Laser etching and laser marking generally do not produce any color changes and create a colorless impression. There are exceptions as certain plastics will sometimes react to and change color under either YAG or Co2 laser light. Also, in some cases, additives can be incorporate into the materials being laser marked or laser etched in order to produce a color change. This can produce a color change after laser etching on some materials. There are several different types of laser marking and laser etching. Laser etching produces a visible etching or depression into the material. Laser etching replaces traditional process like mechanical press or pin scribing. Laser etching can be done with either a Co2 or YAG laser on virtually any material surface and to any depth from very light etching to very deep etching. Generally speaking with laser etching the material being laser etched is vaporized at the laser etching point due to the typically high power densities of the laser beam at the point of laser etching.
Laser etching machines are easy to use.Process of laser marking machine is accurate, 100% repeatable, fast, with very clear sharp results. There are hand-held types that can be used by artisans to create unique and personalized designs. With etching, it is possible to manage larger volumes of data. Large amounts of images can be stored on the computer and used any moment they are needed. This is better provide by laser marking and laser etching systems.
