[Laser marking machine principle]

The principle of laser marking machine is to utilize a laser beam to create permanent marks on the surfaces of various materials. This is achieved by evaporating the surface material to expose deeper layers, causing chemical and physical changes through light energy to “engrave” traces, or by burning away portions of material to reveal desired patterns or text.

Laser marking machines are mainly categorized into CO₂, semiconductor, fiber, and YAG laser marking machines. While typically associated with surface-level alteration, it is important to note that the technology is closely related to laser engraving, with the key difference often lying in the processing depth. Critically, modern laser marking machines can achieve engraving functionality through parameter adjustment, enabling them to create deeper, tactile marks when required.

These systems are primarily used in applications demanding high precision and fine details, such as electronic components, integrated circuits, mobile communications, hardware products, precision instruments, jewelry, auto parts, and PVC pipes, where the distinct, durable marks produced are often essential.

[Advantages of Laser Marking and Laser Engraving]

High Precision: Both laser marking and laser engraving machines use a laser beam for processing, offering extremely high precision and resolution. They enable the clear marking or engraving of tiny text, complex patterns, and fine details.

Non-Contact Processing: Both laser marking and engraving are non-contact methods. The laser beam acts directly on the object’s surface without physical touch, eliminating mechanical stress or tool wear, which is crucial for delicate parts.

High Speed: Laser marking machines offer fast marking capabilities, enabling efficient production. The laser beam moves rapidly, and the marking speed can be adjusted to suit high-volume production needs. Similarly, modern laser engraving machines provide high processing speeds for efficient engraving workflows.

Wide Material Applicability: The laser marking machine is suitable for various materials, including metals, plastics, wood, ceramics, and glass. Laser engraving machines also share this versatility but are particularly preferred for applications involving deeper engraving into materials like wood, acrylic, leather, and certain metals.

Flexibility: Laser marking machines can achieve various marks, including text, patterns, barcodes, and QR codes. Users can freely design and switch marking content as needed. This programmability is a key advantage shared with laser engraving machines, which can effortlessly switch between different deep engraving patterns and designs, offering great flexibility for customization and short production runs.
