Because of their unique operating principle, laser marking machines have many advantages over traditional marking methods (pad printing, inkjet coding, electrical corrosion, etc.);
1) No contact processing
Marks can be printed on any regular or irregular surface, and the workpiece does not develop internal stress after marking;
2) The material can be widely used
value.
1) It can be printed on metal, plastic, ceramic, glass, paper, leather and other materials of different types or strengths;
2) it can be combined with other production line equipment to improve the automatic production line;
3) the mark is clear, durable, attractive and can effectively prevent counterfeiting;
4) long working life and no pollution;
5) Low pay
6) Marking and quick marking done in one step with less energy consumption, so the operation cost is lower.
7) High processing efficiency
The laser beam under computer control can move at high speed (up to 5 to 7 meters/second), and the marking process can be completed in a few seconds. Printing on a standard computer keyboard can be completed in 12 seconds. The laser marking system is equipped with a computer control system, which can flexibly cooperate with the high-speed assembly line.
8) Fast development speed
Due to the combination of laser technology and computer technology, users can realize laser printing output as long as they program on the computer, and can change the print design at any time, fundamentally replacing the traditional mold making process, and providing a convenient tool for shortening the product upgrade cycle and flexible production.
9) High machining accuracy
The laser can act on the surface of the material with a very thin beam, and the thinest line width can reach 0.05mm. It creates a broad application space for precision machining and increasing anti-counterfeiting functions.
Laser marking can meet the needs of printing large amounts of data on very small plastic parts. For example, two-dimensional barcodes with more precise requirements and higher clarity can be printed, which has stronger market competitiveness compared with embossed or jet marking methods.
10) Low maintenance cost
Laser marking is non-contact marking, unlike the stencil marking process has a service life limit, and the maintenance cost in batch processing is extremely low.
11) Environmental protection
Laser marking is non-contact marking, saving energy, compared with corrosion method, avoiding chemical pollution; Compared with mechanical marking, it can also reduce noise pollution.
