Laser Marking
Laser engraving (marking) is a technique of engraving objects with a laser. No ink or surface-consuming tools are used during this process. Processing materials in this way has a number of advantages. No contact, the process is dry and clean, flexible and economical. The only tool used during processing is the laser beam.
Laser engraving provides us with excellent opportunities for high-precision material removal, erosion, marking. Laser engraving is used for marking in the automotive industry, military industry, jewelry industry, toolmaking, product branding and the like.
The advantages of laser engraving are speed and no tool wear, regardless of the hardness of the material on which the laser acts, which ultimately results in a reduction in production costs.
Markings on materials made by laser engraving are extremely resistant and can only be erased by sanding. It is also possible to make 3D files that the laser works layer by layer, so that forging tools and electrodes for electro erosion can be made in excellent quality, because the thickness of the laser beam is only 2 µm. Such quality of machining will surely be interesting in the goldsmith industry, foundries, production of complex engravings on molds, etc. The laser engraver itself is equipped with software that has the ability to automatically generate various types of bar codes, serial numbers. Laser engraving technology enables engraving of logos, serial numbers, barcodes, images and text on all types of metals and various types of polymers.
Dot marking
The oscillation of the carbide needle i.e. the movement in two axes, x and y, are driven by pneumatic or electronic drive. Depending on the frequency, the marking is dotted or as a continuous line, perfect for characters, logos, 2D codes, such as Data Matrix code. The force produced by marking is negligible and does not damage the material.
Marking By Scraping
When scraping, unlike dot marking, the needle does not strike the material. The needle (made of hard metal or diamond) is pressed into the material and in this position it travels along the x and y axes.
Dot-Single Marking
An alternative to dot marking is dot single marking that works on the principle of oscillation of a needle driven pneumatically or electrically. Dotted single marking is achieved by an advance defined course of the needle.
Portable Marking
For components or products that are too large or heavy to be easily transported around the workshop, you require a method of portable marking. Especially for industries dealing with heavy machinery, vehicles or installations, portable marking machines are the ideal choice.
