Laser Engraving – A breakthrough technology

Posted by John Smith on April 29th, 2019

Product labeling is an important criterion in many industries for the identification of components.

For the unmistakable and traceability of products, permanently applied labeling is of great importance.

Basically, laser engraving has the advantage that they are not printed but introduced by material removal. The resulting labels are resistant to wear and resistant to cleaning agents and solvents.

Stainless steel panels engraved can be used in many products such as Metalwork, Plastics, Composites, Acrylic, Wood, Cardboard, and Leather among others.

Laser engraving technology:

The laser engraving evolved a lot in recent years, there are several ways to generate it, drive it and use it. Use inputs such as air, oxygen or nitrogen to achieve melt, vaporize and blow the material that is cutting.

It is good to make cuts with greater definition; cleanliness, detail, and speed now even in thick sheets.

Why the Laser Engrave is is better?

Finishing of the cut:

Many times we need that the cut has no defects or that these are minimal and almost imperceptible, details such as "Teeth" in the cut are very grotesque in several technologies. This type of imperfections is eliminated or reduced to the minimum expression with a laser.

Cleanness:

One of the most common problems in a metal to be cut is the "residues of material" that are left at the end of the cut, this requires costs because it is necessary for an operator to clean the parts at the end of the processor that it takes much longer to do so. The laser is the answer to minimize or eliminate this effect.

Multi-use:

Certain technologies are oriented to certain metals or are much more efficient working a specific metal. Depending on the input we use, acrylic engraving is very versatile and is used to cut the most common metals used in the metal-mechanic industry.

Engrave with difficult designs:

Where else fail other technologies is the ability to cut metals with a high level of detail, complex designs or small with "pronounced curves", "corners with closed angles", "tiny holes", etc. The laser is probably the best answer to this problem.
