Laser Marking Plastic

For laser marking plastics the fiber laser offers you a range of different methods such as dyeing carbonation or foaming.

Laser marking plastic.

Graphics logos text codes serial numbers as well as fully dynamic data from erp systems can be marked easily and. Laser marking of plastic or plastic engraving is a process during which components are labelled or marked with the aid of a laser. Laser marking is fundamentally different from ink printing the traditional method of marking on plastics. The most commonly used techniques for plastics are laser carbonization laser selective removal laser engraving and etching.

Lasers also offer versatility since they can process a wide variety of different plastics in different ways. Often used for its aesthetic quality laser marking can improve traceability with unique identification of polymers. This section introduces a variety of information from plastic marking processing principles to laser features according to wavelength. Using laser marking within the plastic molding manufacturing operations has multiple advantages.

The optimal laser markers and marking examples are provided for each category including abs epoxies and pet marking. In 30 years we have developed traceability and aesthetic laser marking solutions for metal and plastic applications. Since various plastics react very differently you should always test a material sample here are some applications. A fiber laser from epilog is the perfect choice for marking engineered plastic parts with barcodes serial numbers and logos.

Laser marking of plastics has many advantages of traditional marking methods like ink dyes and paints. Housings made of plastic. Direct ink printing puts an image on the surface of the plastic which can be removed by abrasion or solvents but laser marking can provide an indelible high contrast mark in the material itself with no direct contact with the plastic other than through the incident laser beam. Lasit laser markers are designed on the specific needs of the client from the mechanical system to the software.

The polymer that the plastic parts are made up of dictates the methods used and the energy input needed to laser mark the plastic. Laser marking plastics offers fast non contact processing which helps maintain the integrity of the material. Our plastic marking systems come in a variety of sizes so you can laser mark large parts one at a time or load the table with a jig of parts to engrave hundreds at once. Laser marking on plastic injection molded parts is one of them.
