laser engraving Aluminum
Nov 29 , 2021
laser engraving Aluminum Aluminum is one of the most commonly marked substrates and is used in many industries. Typically, with lighter marking intensity, aluminum will turn white. It looks good when the aluminum is anodized, but white marking is not ideal for bare and cast aluminum. More intense laser settings provide a dark grey or charcoal color. Each and every RMI Laser series is capabl...

laser engraving Brass and copper
Nov 29 , 2021
laser engraving Brass and copper Brass and copper have high thermal conductivity and thermal transfer properties and are used commonly for wiring, printed circuit boards and pressurized flow meters. Their thermal properties are ideal for laser marking systems for metal because the heat is quickly dissipated. This reduces the impact the laser can have on the structural integrity of the material. Ea...

uv laser marking Non-semiconductor ceramics
Nov 29 , 2021
uv laser marking Non-semiconductor ceramics Non-semiconductor ceramics come in a variety of shapes and forms. Some are very soft and others are hardened providing a lot of variety. In general, ceramics are a difficult substrate to laser mark as they do not typically absorb a lot laser light or wavelength. RMI Laser offers a 532nm Green laser marking system that is better absorbed by certain ...

uv laser for Coated and Painted Metal
Nov 29 , 2021
uv laser for Coated and Painted Metal There are many types of coatings used to harden or protect metals from corrosive elements. Some coatings, such as powder coat, are thicker and require more intense laser settings to completely remove. Other coatings, like black oxide, are thin and meant to protect only the surface. These are much easier to ablate and will provide great contrast marking. Each a...

laser engraving Nickel
Nov 29 , 2021
laser engraving Nickel Nickel is commonly used as plating. It can be forged or used as the base metal for some parts, but is usually considered too soft for industrial use. The plating is commonly used for protection of parts from corrosive elements. Care must be taken in order to prevent it from becoming pierced or damaged, which would expose the underlying metallic surface. Each and every RMI La...

355nm uv laser marking Plastics and polymers
Nov 29 , 2021
355nm uv laser marking Plastics and polymers Plastics and polymers are by far the most expansive and variable materials that are marked with lasers. There are so many different chemical compositions that you cannot categorize them easily. Some generalizations can be made in terms of markings and how they will appear, but there is always an exception. We recommend test marking to ensure the best re...

3w laser marking Rubber
Nov 29 , 2021
3w laser marking Rubber Rubber is an ideal substrate for engraving or etching because it is soft and highly absorbent. However laser marking rubber does not offer contrast. Tires and handles are a few examples of markings done on rubber. Each and every RMI Laser series is capable of marking on rubber and the ideal system for your application depends on your marking requirements. The only factors t...

laser engraving Silver and Gold
Nov 29 , 2021
laser engraving Silver and Gold Precious metals like silver and gold are very soft. Silver is a tricky material to mark as it oxidizes and tarnishes easily. Gold can be very easy to mark, requiring little power to get a good, contrasting anneal. Each and every RMI Laser series is capable of marking on silver and gold and the ideal system for your application depends on your marking requirements. B...
