What are the advantages of using a laser marking machine?

2019-04-03

Laser marking technology is increasingly applied in the printing field. Laser marking machines are used on various materials such as plastics, metals, and silicon wafers. Compared with traditional methods like ink printing, mechanical engraving, screen printing, and chemical etching, laser marking offers lower cost, higher flexibility, computer system control, and the ability to produce the graphics and text you need. The marks created by laser interaction with the workpiece surface are durable and permanent, which is a prominent feature. Currently, laser marking accounts for over 90% of the market in the marking and printing industry. The reason laser marking holds such a large share is due to the following major advantages:
1. Low operating cost:
Fast marking speed with one-time forming, low energy consumption, resulting in low operating costs.
2. High engraving precision:
Laser marking machines can engrave fine patterns with a minimum line width of 0.04mm. The marks are clear, durable, and aesthetically pleasing. Laser marking meets the need to print large amounts of data on very small plastic parts.
3. Anti-counterfeiting:
Marks engraved by laser marking technology are difficult to counterfeit or alter, providing strong anti-counterfeiting features.
4. Non-contact:
Laser marking uses a non-mechanical "light blade" for processing. It can print marks on any regular or irregular surface without generating internal stress after marking, ensuring the original accuracy of the workpiece. It does not corrode the surface, causes no wear, no toxicity, and no pollution.
5.Rapid development:
Thanks to the integration of laser technology and computer technology, users only need to program on a computer to realize laser print output, and can change print designs at any time. This fundamentally replaces traditional mold manufacturing processes and provides convenient tools to shorten product upgrade cycles and enable flexible production.
6. Permanence:
Laser marks do not fade due to environmental factors.
7. Wide applicability:
Laser processing can be applied to a wide range of metal and non-metal materials.
8.Environmental friendliness:
Environmental regulations are becoming stricter. Laser marking is environmentally friendly and pollution-free, which is also a boon for enterprises.
