Fiber laser engraving ceramics.

The fiber laser is used for marking or engraving bare metals and marking plastics. How they differ and when to use them. Xt laser offers a 532nm green laser marking system that is better absorbed by certain ceramics. Typically we use 1064 nm fiber lasers for marking parts via melting.

Laser cutting of thin film ceramic is also possible using a co 2 laser producing a clean edge with little discoloration. The ccd vision system high accuracy x y moving table helps. Laser engraving of ceramics is achieved using a co 2 laser. Fiber lasers are optimally suited for metal marking methods such as annealing and metal engraving and for making high contrast markings on plastics.

We recommend you have test sampling done to determine the best marking technique to apply to your ceramic material. Laser power at least 40 watts of co 2 laser power is recommended for glass and ceramic laser engraving and for glass marking as well as marking certain ceramic materials like zirconia. Applications include part identification decorative marking and more. Laser processing of ceramics is typically performed using a 10 6 or 9 3 micron co 2 laser with some ceramics also absorbing a 1 06 micron fiber laser wavelength.

Laser engraving metal and laser marking metal are common uses. Laser engraving is a key feature of spi redenergy fiber lasers. The most common materials are metals and plastics but our lasers are also capable of marking on ceramics composites and semiconductor substrates like silicon.

Rmi laser marking systems are capable of marking a variety of different materials. In general ceramics are a difficult substrate to laser mark as they do not typically absorb a lot laser light or wavelength. More details on how lasers work laser etching engraving and cutting. Melting causes the material to darken creating a color contrast without fully ablating the surface.

The laser s energy heats up the ceramic material melting the surface and causing a direct color change.
