Intro
You have likely encountered the ‘never-fading’ marks on countless metal components; these indelible identifiers are almost certainly the work of a high-precision laser marking machine.
As an advanced marking technology, laser marking machine has been widely used in the field of industrial production. Its high precision, high efficiency and non-contact features make laser marking machines the tool of choice for marking and marking in many industries.
This article will deeply discuss the application fields of laser marking machines in industrial production, including automobile manufacturing, electronic products, medical equipment, aerospace and so on.
Top 4 industrial applications of laser marking machine
1.Automotive sector: traceability and aesthetics
Laser marking machines play an important role in the automotive manufacturing industry. It can be used to mark key information such as serial numbers, date codes, and barcodes of parts for traceability and tracking. In addition, the laser marking machine can also achieve high-quality pattern engraving on the exterior of the car, adding a unique logo and aesthetics to the car.
Regarding automobiles, you must be familiar with the VIN code. The VIN code can be regarded as the “identity card” of a car. Industrial laser marking can assist manufacturers in directly imprinting the permanent VIN code on the vehicle frame, engine or key components. The laser mark on the vehicle frame has extremely high wear resistance and tamper-proof features. This ensures the uniqueness of the “identity card” of the vehicle and the quality traceability.
Tire marking is also very popular. If you are a tire manufacturer, the M20 laser machine would be an ideal choice for you to quickly engrave the production date, specifications, and parameters on the sidewall of tires. Take a look at the actual effect of our handheld laser machine for tire marking!
2.Electronics: Precision on a micro scale
In the manufacture of electronic products, laser marking machines are widely used in the marking of electronic components. It can quickly and accurately imprint product name, model, serial number and other information, and provide product identification and anti-counterfeiting functions. The laser coding printer can also realize fine patterns and marks on the surface of tiny electronic components to meet the needs of personalized customization of electronic products.
PCB marking
Laser marking machines can engrave high-density QR codes, serial numbers, etc. in extremely small workpieces. Laser marking has the characteristics of being resistant to chemical corrosion and having no consumables, which ensures that each circuit board from raw material to finished product can be traced.
IC chip marking
IC chips are extremely fragile and precise. A small chip contains various electronic components. The coding can quickly help you identify the main purpose of this chip. What you don’t need to worry about is that the non-contact processing of the laser marking machine will not affect these precise components.
3.Medical devices: compliance and safety
Stationary laser marking machines play a key role in the medical device industry. It can be used for marking and marking medical devices, including surgical tools, implants and medical equipment. The information marked by the laser marking machine can include product model, production batch, instructions for use, etc., to ensure the traceability and quality control of medical devices.
In the medical industry, it is required that medical devices must have UDI codes. The “cold processing” effect of ultraviolet laser machines is the preferred choice for high-end medical marking. Laser marking avoids the possibility of physical contact and ink contamination. The dark marks formed by laser marking can effectively prevent rust or bacterial erosion.
4.Aerospace: durability under extreme conditions
Laser coding machines are also widely used in the aerospace field. It can be used to mark aircraft parts, aero engines, aerospace components, etc. to provide key identification and tracking functions. The application of laser marking machines in the aerospace field requires high precision, high reliability and long-term durability, and laser technology can meet these requirements.
Components in the aerospace field are constantly exposed to high pressure and high-frequency vibrations. Laser marking technology can protect the structural integrity of alloy materials by controlling the energy density.
