MaterialABS Plastic

The base material is manufactured from ABS plastic.  The required laser marking represents a standard bar code along with a human readable code for internal tracking.  In this case, we are using a fibre laser marking system to create the high contrast level image.  ABS is one in the range of plastics that normally laser marks very well.  The fibre laser pulsing at a high rate produces the high contrast mark with relative ease.

Each tray is supplied with a unique number for both the bar code and the human readable.  This data automatically moves in increments with each loading sequence on the laser.  When the batch is finished, the job file saves the last number processed.  The bar code used is in 128 format, so that the data is condensed for usage in the space available.  Sample reading is normally performed during each batch to ensure mark consistency.

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

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,…
