Anodised Aluminium Laser Engraving: Techniques, Benefits, and Applications Anodised aluminium laser engraving is a popular method for creating detailed and durable markings on anodised aluminium surfaces. This technique combines the benefits of anodised aluminium’s corrosion-resistant properties with the precision and speed of laser engraving. In this article, we’ll explore how anodised aluminium laser engraving works,…
Laser Marking with Thermark Application – Aston Martin The laser marking of a foot plate was processed as follows. First of all, the aluminium is processed using a surface additive, in order to produce a high contrast from the laser marking. The thermark coating is applied, and then the marking is processed. Where the laser…
In this example, from our customer Risbridger, we are laser marking blue anodised aluminium by removing the anodising, to expose the base material beneath. The device used in the petrochemical industry, contains both branding details and identification information. The part number identifies the part for ordering. The batch number is used for traceability. This is…
In this example, our customer Tractel requested the process of Laser engraving anodised aluminium – radial marking just refers to the way the laser engraving of the text is at the same diameter of the parts outer diameter. Anodised aluminium Anodising is an important form of finishing in the world of aluminium components. It is…
Laser Marking of Rubber Axle Bumpers Most organic based materials are better marked using CO2 in terms of their energy abortion values being high. The only major issue is contrast levels. Rubber is no exception, as you can see from the image, the laser effectively melts the rubber creating an engraved mark. Where the material…
This laser marking of steel ball bearing is for a well-known German motorcycle manufacturer. The process sees steel ball bearings, all of a set size, ground with a flat. They are then measured and laser marking used to place the size onto the part for identification, and grading purposes around the circumference to two decimal…
Laser marking of PLCC devices have been used for many years in the semiconductor industry for marking and coding integrated circuits. Technical data is placed onto the surface along with the original information. Care is taken when applying laser marking energy, not to supply heat to the inside of the part, where bond wire may…
Laser Marking of Engine Block Sand Mould – Cosworth This is one of the most exciting applications we have been involved with. The challenge is to resolve the tracking of information, regarding engine build for investigation if failures occur. The initial idea was to place a 2D code onto the engine casing however, this would…
Optimising Laser Engraving on Multi-Layer Laminate Materials Laser engraving has become an essential technology for creating high-precision, high-contrast markings across various industries. Laser engraving Multi layer laminate materials, with their unique layered construction, present an ideal medium for laser engraving, offering versatility and durability in applications such as signage, labels, and industrial components. Understanding the…
Laser marking of plastic Carrier frames are almost translucent to the wavelength of Nd:YAG and therefore difficult for laser marking. When the process starts, the laser marking can end up being sub surface causing implosions. Introducing Bespak by Recipharm | Drug Delivery Device Services | Recipharm If the marking applications work is carried out correctly,…
Laser Marking of Brass Wells – WDS A simple looking job that is a little more complicated than you first think. The brass cup is inserted into the instrument panel and requires to be aligned in a certain orientation. However, the assembly process means that you cannot see the front of the well during assembly.…
Laser marking of laundry tags – The application for STERIS Laser marking of laundry tags, as seen in the picture, is to facilitate tracking capability once the tags are in circulation. The tag holds a material sample that undergoes the same cleaning regime as the full size material, hospital bed linen for example. Once the…
