Fiber Laser Marking Ceramic Materials

At least 40 watts of fiber laser power is recommend for laser marking certain ceramic materials like aluminum silicate.

Fiber laser marking ceramic materials.

Laser marking is used on ceramic products for identification and traceability. Typically we use 1064 nm fiber lasers for marking parts via melting. Heatsign has perfected the art of ceramic marking using the most advanced laser marking technologies. Fiberglass carbon fiber fiber based materials like fiberglass can be marked with limitations.

Because they are composed of individual fibers the structural integrity can be damaged by the laser resulting in a blurry marking which cannot be scanned. The following industrial lasers to profile drill scribe and imprint a range of business data including brand names logos graphics and 2d codes. Lens a small spot size lens less than 0 005 or 125 microns is the best for laser engraving and laser marking glass and ceramic materials. 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.

The ccd vision system high accuracy x y moving table helps. Applications include part identification decorative marking and more. Laser cutting of thin film ceramic is also possible using a co 2 laser producing a clean edge with little discoloration.
