The surface to be marked is provided with a clearly legible, contoured inscription by guiding the laser beam strongly, accurately and at a relatively high speed. An ideal method for marking industrial parts and tools.
A layer filled in a minimum depth is burned on the surface to be marked. The resulting layer is non-removable and provides a clearly visible contour marking.
A dark-colored oxidation layer that fits the surface can be created as a result of high temperature and medium laser exposure.
The original surface is made visible again by removing the top layer (paint, anodizing). The characters and figures that appear are the same as the color of the original metal.
In the process applicable to most types of plastics, the top few tenths of a millimeter layer heats up and “foams” and then this foamy layer solidifies. Typically, for light surface dark and for dark surface lighter marking can be created in this way.
For some metals, but often also for plastics, a coherent clear foundation can be created. This layer is minimal to the touch on the surface and provides a very good basis for darker markings, making them more contrasting.
A few microns thick material is removed from the surface, in several layers as required, to achieve the same effect as mechanical engraving.
We can use the thermal discoloration ability of the given metals and alloys to make colored surface markings and graphics. We can achieve a spectacular and lasting, almost artistic effect with this technology.
We cut out all kinds of shapes and forms in millimeters from plastic based sticker raw material.Replacement and production of logos and ‘branding’ from metal foil. In case of foils the cut is feasible, and also in case of 2-3 mm plastics.
In case of metals and plastics, if the technology allows, one of the original faulty characters, drawings, graphics can be made “invisible” with a new surface marking. If the resulting surface is completely homogeneous, we can even try a new marking, thus saving the original workpiece from scrapping.
Oxidation, oily dirt and burn marks formed on the surface of certain metals, most often steel alloys, can be removed with laser technology. This can be done by removing, burning or crusting the surface. If necessary, even an aging, antiqued effect can be achieved by color marking of raw metal surfaces.
