The end product is created using a three part molding process, each requiring different information to be included in the product molding. The information required on the product surface is laser engraved into the surface of the tool insert to a depth of 0.05 – 0.1 mm. The image is inverted so that when moulded, the data comes out the correct way. The image consists of a combination of graphical image and standard text. All the data is set up within the job file and processed at the same time.

The laser used is a flash lamp Nd:YAG which can change its mode structure. With deep engraving of this nature we run the unit in TEM00. This provides the smallest beam size available providing fine detail where required. While the energy levels are low and multiple skims are required, the end result is better, as well as with minimum raisers affecting the mark itself.

laser marking anodised aluminium

Laser marking Anodised Aluminium – Electrical symbols

Anodising has become a dominant form of finishing for aluminium. This is largely due to its cost effectiveness, availability and suitability, across a whole host of applications and industrial sectors. Laser marking anodised aluminium, has also become an accepted process across these industrial sectors.

Anodising is an electrolytic passivation process. It changes the microscopic texture of the aluminium by modifying the crystal structure near the surface. The passivation thickness will be…

product branding by laser marking anodised aluminium

Product branding by laser marking anodised Aluminium

A good example of product branding by laser marking is anodised aluminium. It is used in high end audio accessories in the form of cable tidies.  The aluminium is highly polished, prior to anodising, in order to achieve the high gloss finish on the part.

The laser process, delivers small pulses of energy to the component surface. These pulses have enough energy to vaporise the surface of the aluminium where the anodised coating occurs. This exposes the base material, aluminium,…
