Benefits of Using Laser Technology for Product Marking:
Better Mark Quality and Contrast
Longer Lasting Marks that do not wear off easily
Excellent Precision and High Repeatability
Better Marking Speed in comparison with above methods
No ink or solvents required
Non-contact marking method
Parts need Not be Secured during Marking Process
Prevalent Laser Marking Technology & its Limitations - Galvanometer-based Laser Beam Control & Marking
Marking Speed: Despite significant advances
in speed performance of galvanometer based laser marking solutions, the
number of parts marked per second remain low (less than 10).
Increase in Pixel/Dot Resolution: Graphics
and higher resolution 2-D data matrix codes require more number of
pixels to be marked which reduce the speed of galvanometer based
marking systems in terms of parts marked per second.
Simultaneous High Speed & Resolution:
Galvanometer based laser marking despite being better than other
non-laser marking technologies is still inadequate for Simultaneous
High Speed
and High Resolution product marking.
Consequently, galvanometer based laser marking systems' performance is inadequate for industries and processes where high marking speed is a necessary condition to mark individual parts/items with 2-D data code matrices.
