Understand Fiber Laser Marking Machine
Fiber laser marking machines are designed to meet the needs of manufacturers who mark codes and other information on robust, high-density materials such as metals and plastics.
Fiber laser marking, also known as Solid-State Laser (SSL), operates by delivering a wavelength of 1.064 micrometers, 10 times shorter than that generated by a CO2 laser. Due to this much smaller focal distance, the intensity of fiber laser system is almost 100 times higher than CO2 systems with a similar power output, making fiber lasers ideal for coding on high-density packaging materials such as metal and plastics. Industries with demanding production schedules and increasing throughput expectations -like beverage, extrusion, and pharmaceuticals - need lasers that can keep pace and provide the appropriate level of contrast. Compared to traditional CO2 laser sources, fiber lasers can achieve better mark contrast at faster speeds.
Advantages of Fiber Laser Marking Technology
1.Fast and Cost-Effective
Laser marking is a fast, non-contact application that requires zero consumables. With nothing to repair or replace, laser marking costs are negligible. Because of zero-maintenance laser, laser markers have exceptional availability, resulting in high part throughput and fast ROI.
2.Best Industry Reliability
Fiber laser marking solutions are configured with the user in mind. Typically supplied as a complete solution with fiber laser, scanning head and control software, these solutions are easily programmed for complex logo images, single part serialization numbers, or automatic generation of individual 1D and 2D data matrix codes.
3.Permanent Marking
Fiber lasers are available in a wide range of options so the marking process can be matched precisely to the materials and applications. From the deep engraving of automotive components to the permanent black marking of medical devices that must withstand continued sterilization,fiber lasers produce marking that endures.
