Why does UV laser printer stand out from many types of printers?

In recent years, UV laser inkjet printers have appeared frequently in major production enterprises, and with their unique advantages, they have won the favor of more and more manufacturing business owners. So, why has the UV laser printer become the choice of the owners of various manufacturing enterprises? Today, the editor will interpret the advantages of UV laser inkjet printers from various aspects.

Parts of UV Laser Inkjet Printer

1. Cold working

Ultraviolet laser processing technology is the characteristics of the interaction between the laser beam and the material to cut, weld, surface treatment, punch and micro-machining materials (metals and non-metals). The interaction between ultraviolet laser and matter is called "photochemical ablation". When the material is irradiated by laser and absorbs pulses of high peak power, it will cause the breaking of a thin layer of internal bonds on the surface of the material, and the generated molecular fragments will diffuse into plasma. . The plasma diffuses outward while carrying excess energy away from the material, so there is little damage to the area near the process. This is what we often call the "cold processing" of UV laser printers.

This kind of cold working is special in laser marking processing, because it is not thermal ablation, but cold peeling that does not produce "thermal damage" side effects and breaks chemical bonds, so it does not produce heating or thermal deformation on the surface of the processed material. . The resulting material has smooth edges and minimal carbonization.

This characteristic of almost no damage to the material makes the application range of UV laser inkjet printers wider than that of fiber laser inkjet printers and CO2 laser inkjet printers. The coding work on thin and light materials is its strength. .

Second, the coding is more precise

Among the laser printers, the wavelength of the UV laser printer is 355nm, and the wavelength of the fiber laser printer is 1064nm. Compared with fiber laser printers and CO2 laser printers, UV laser printers have a shorter wavelength.

Compared with the long-wavelength laser, the short-wavelength laser can obtain a smaller focused spot, and can perform very fine and fine processing that is difficult to achieve in ordinary processing. Due to its short wavelength, small focusable spot, small heat-affected area, and flexible and convenient processing, ultraviolet lasers are widely used in fine processing.

Fiber laser inkjet printers and CO2 laser inkjet printers will cause different degrees of damage to the surface of the processed materials, so compared with UV laser inkjet printers, the fineness of the code is inferior.

3. No consumables, low cost, no pollution

Before the advent of laser inkjet printers, the traditional coding method used ink jetting, which resulted in a large amount of ink consumables and a high cost of marking and coding. With the popularity of laser inkjet printers, the inkjet printers used in many industries have been gradually updated to laser inkjet printers.

The UV laser inkjet printer uses the principle of breaking the chemical bond of the material by the UV laser beam for marking, so no consumables are produced in the daily operation, which greatly reduces the coding cost of the enterprise.

The non-toxic and non-polluting characteristics of UV laser coding also make it favored by many companies today, which pays more and more attention to environmental protection. The numbers and QR code information inside the beverage bottles we have seen are all works of UV laser inkjet printers, and only absolutely non-toxic and pollution-free coding equipment can do this kind of work.

Of course, the advantages of UV laser inkjet printers include flexible installation, simple and easy operation, modular structure for easy maintenance and maintenance, and a wide range of applications. It is these advantages that make it stand out among many inkjet printers and are recognized by the majority of enterprises.
