Housings made of plastic. The article will take you through some key benefits of using laser marking systems the list of ideal plastics and the popular laser marking techniques being used in the industry. 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. Using laser marking within the plastic molding manufacturing operations has multiple advantages.

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. Graphics logos text codes serial numbers as well as fully dynamic data from erp systems can be marked easily and. 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.

Lasit laser markers are designed on the specific needs of the client from the mechanical system to the software. A fiber laser from epilog is the perfect choice for marking engineered plastic parts with barcodes serial numbers and logos. 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 of plastics has many advantages of traditional marking methods like ink dyes and paints.

Laser marking plastics offers fast non contact processing which helps maintain the integrity of the material. Laser marking is fundamentally different from ink printing the traditional method of marking on plastics. Laser marking on plastic injection molded parts is one of them. Since various plastics react very differently you should always test a material sample here are some applications.

The optimal laser markers and marking examples are provided for each category including abs epoxies and pet marking. Lasers also offer versatility since they can process a wide variety of different plastics in different ways. 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 not only proves to be more economical but also offers marks that is free of contact prevents tampering and are resistant to abrasion and wear and other environmental factors.
