Laser Marking Plastic

Since various plastics react very differently you should always test a material sample here are some applications.

Laser marking plastic. Laser marking of plastic or plastic engraving is a process during which components are labelled or marked with the aid of a laser. The polymer that the plastic parts are made up of dictates the methods used and the energy input needed to laser mark the plastic. Using laser marking within the plastic molding manufacturing operations has multiple advantages. The most commonly used techniques for plastics are laser carbonization laser selective removal laser engraving and etching.

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. Laser marking plastics offers fast non contact processing which helps maintain the integrity of the material. A fiber laser from epilog is the perfect choice for marking engineered plastic parts with barcodes serial numbers and logos. This section introduces a variety of information from plastic marking processing principles to laser features according to wavelength.

Graphics logos text codes serial numbers as well as fully dynamic data from erp systems can be marked easily and. The optimal laser markers and marking examples are provided for each category including abs epoxies and pet marking. 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.

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. Lasers also offer versatility since they can process a wide variety of different plastics in different ways. In 30 years we have developed traceability and aesthetic laser marking solutions for metal and plastic applications. Housings made of plastic.

Laser marking on plastic injection molded parts is one of them. For laser marking plastics the fiber laser offers you a range of different methods such as dyeing carbonation or foaming. Often used for its aesthetic quality laser marking can improve traceability with unique identification of polymers. Laser marking of plastics has many advantages of traditional marking methods like ink dyes and paints.
