Laser Marking on Plastic
May 08 , 2021
‘Plastics’ refer to materials with widely differing chemical compositions, which in turn means differing outcomes for the processes applied to them, including laser marking. Indeed, among plastics we can distinguish between polycarbonate, polyamide, polyester, PE, PET, ABS, and many others. These influence the choice of laser in terms of required wavelength. By way of example, P...

LASER MARKING: Choosing the best laser for your application
May 08 , 2021
Today there are many different types of marking lasers that can mark all materials. Up until a few years ago, there were limits in terms of quality and range of markable materials, but this is no longer the case. You can find the right laser marker based on the type of material and the expected result. Given this wide range of possibilities, picking a suitable laser is not an easy tas...

Why Laser Damage Testing is Critical for UV Laser Applications
May 10 , 2021
UV Lasers There are numerous advantages to using UV lasers as opposed to longer wavelengths such as infrared or visible light. In materials processing, infrared or visible lasers melt or vaporize material, which can hinder the creation of small, precise features and damage the structural integrity of the substrate. On the other hand, UV lasers process materials by directly breaking the atomic bond...

BLUE DIODE LASERS ENABLE HIGH-QUALITY NON-FERROUS METAL WELDING
May 10 , 2021
Blue diode lasers have recently become known as an excellent tool for certain processing techniques regarding copper and other non-ferrous and highly reflective metals. Copper, gold, aluminum, and certain other metals absorb blue wavelengths more easily than any other wavelengths of visible or invisible light. This higher rate of absorption allows for both higher quality results and faster process...
