Abstract
With the growing demand for intelligent manufacturing and refined processing, CO2 laser marking machines have become the core technical equipment in the field of non-metallic material processing due to their high efficiency, precision and environmental protection.
However, in the traditional mindset of many people, laser machines are commonly used for marking or cutting on metal materials. I wonder if you also have such a stereotype. But in fact, CO2 laser marking machines have significant and unique advantages in marking non-metallic materials.
Today, let’s find out how CO2 laser marking machine improve your brand reputation and product labeling.
How exactly CO2 laser make marks on the non-metallic materials?
CO2 laser marking machines use high-purity carbon dioxide gas as the working medium, and excite gas molecules through high-voltage discharge of electrodes to generate far-infrared lasers with a wavelength of 10.64 microns. Lasers of this wavelength have excellent absorption characteristics for non-metallic materials. After the laser beam is deflected at high speed by the galvanometer system and focused by the F-Theta mirror, it can act accurately on the surface of the material, forming a permanent mark through gasification or chemical reaction, realizing “non-contact, non-consumable” clean processing.
Advanced CYCJET CO2 Laser coder: Benefits your production
- Ultra-high precision: The laser beam quality output by the base mode is stable, and the minimum line width can reach 0.01mm. Even on micro-small workpieces, clear marking can be achieved, avoiding the thermal deformation problem of traditional mechanical processing.
- Extremely fast response: The galvanometer system supports a scanning speed of more than 10 meters per second, and the processing time of a single piece is calculated in milliseconds, which significantly improves the efficiency of the production line.
- Intelligent operation: With dedicated control software, it supports vector graphics, serial numbers and database direct connection functions to realize the automated process of “one-click marking”.
- Long-lasting stability: The constant current and constant voltage control system ensures continuous operation of the equipment, with an average failure-free time of more than 20,000 hours and low maintenance cost.
CO2 laser marking applications across non-metallic material and industries
- Pharmaceutical industry: engrave batch numbers and expiration dates on glass medicine bottles and plastic syringes to meet medical-grade alcohol-resistant wiping and high-temperature sterilization requirements.
- Food packaging: mark traceability QR codes on the surface of PET bottles and paper boxes to replace ink printing and eliminate the risk of chemical pollution.
- Electronic components: stress-free marking of plastic connectors and silicone buttons to avoid physical damage to precision parts.
- Craft products: realize personalized engraving on natural materials such as bamboo, wood, and leather, and open up a new model of customized production of cultural and creative products.
