Laser Marking Machines for Complex Processes
Efficient and permanent labeling of a wide variety of materials and workpieces.
Laser marking provides efficient, precise, and permanent labeling for a wide variety of materials and workpieces.
Laser marking process is specifically designed for labeling or marking workpieces, and its main advantage is that almost any type of material can be marked with accuracy. The resulting laser markings are waterproof, smudge-proof, and durable, and can be applied quickly, individually, and automatically. These qualities make laser marking both highly efficient and the preferred choice for permanent part identification.
UDI labeling of an implant
Corrosion-free white lettering and black lettering in a single operation, with white as the background and black as the content, thus creating increased contrast.
Round labeling of a measuring device
Lettering on a black background, extremely detailed and particularly easy to read, also resistant to lubricants and scratches.
Carbonizing marking of a ceramic electrical terminal
Cost-effective lettering on ceramic as an alternative to conventional lettering without damaging the material or roughening the surface. In addition, with strong contrasts and absolutely scratch-resistant.
Tempering marking
When metal is heated, its color changes, with hues varying depending on the temperature and the duration of the heating. This phenomenon is known as the tempering effect. For example, unalloyed tool steel turns a white-yellow at a tempering temperature of 200 °C, purple-red at 270 °C, and gray at 660 °C, with other shades in between. The laserallows tempering temperatures to be achieved quickly and precisely, and it enables metal surfaces and structures to be produced in different colors without the use of additives. The markings remain temperature-stable up to the lowest tempering temperature used and these marks can be applied with maximum accuracy. ACSYS laser systems position the colors with micrometer precision.
Deep lettering / engraving marking
Deep marking is based on the same principle as laser engraving. In this process, material is selectively melted and vaporized via the thermal energy of the laser beam. This laser-induced removal by melt displacement results in a slightly deeper mark on the machined workpieces. Laser systems from ACSYS can even handle the process fully automatically, meaning that blanks can be marked during non-productive times without operating personnel. In addition, large-scale deep marking on flat or round parts is also possible.
Foaming
This process is particularly suitable for marking technically suitable plastics. How it works is that the laser beam melts the surface of the plastic, causing gas bubbles to form in the material and become trapped as it cools. This increases the volume of the plastic in the processed areas, which then appear slightly raised. One of the strengths of ACSYS laser systems is that, thanks to their multi-axis functionality, they can even mark large plastic webs in one piece.
Carbonize
During carbonization, the laser radiation penetrates the material and is absorbed by color pigments. These react chemically, resulting in a permanent color change in the material itself. The surface of the workpiece remains virtually unchanged. It is important to note that the effect described can only be achieved with plastic materials, some paints, and technical ceramics. The effect depends largely on the wavelength of the laser radiation, and the color changes can be controlled by selecting the pigments and the base material.
