The ability to customize objects, protect intellectual property, and add additional safeguards is driving the rise of laser engraving in industrial applications.
Not only can small businesses use the Sculpfun S30 Pro Max laser engraver to add logos or branding to items inside, industrial manufacturing also appreciates the ability to permanently mark items for better identification of counterfeits and imitations.
Laser engraving is a process in which a laser beam ablates a layer of surface material, creating indentations that the human eye perceives as an image. For fiber lasers, the laser light is generated by first directing intense light from a diode into a fiber-optic cable containing ytterbium, a rare-earth element. The energy of the light emitted by the diode is absorbed by the ytterbium in the cable and then released in the form of photons that travel through the cable. When photons leave the fiber optic cable, they generate a laser beam with a wavelength of 1062 nm.
The security marking sector is one of the most important segments for laser engraving in the industrial sector. This technology is ideal for credit cards, ID cards, sensitive documents and other objects that require enhanced security measures. A multi-layer format is used in ID cards to change the color of the underlying paint without affecting the transparent top layer. In this way, it is possible to produce products with high image and text quality, which are fraud and manipulation-proof, traceable, and can be individually adapted to the needs of individual companies.
But this is just the beginning, and laser engraving offers industrial companies many more benefits to improve their operations. The Sculpfun S10 laser engraving can engrave serial numbers, time stamps, part numbers and component labels, etch barcodes, mark with DataMatrix codes, branding and industry specific coding. Laser engraver can produce very high quality marks that can be easily read by barcode scanners, RFID scanners or other inventory tracking devices.
It's no surprise that laser engraving machine has become so important in parts identification, inventory control and monitoring, safety and warning labels, and damage prevention.
The additional security offered by laser engraving is also attractive to many new industrial sectors such as robotics, 3D printing, inventory management, banking, security, government agencies and the automotive industry.
Advantages Of Laser Engraving
There are many advantages to using the Sculpfun when engraving industrial marks.
First, fiber or galvo systems can etch almost any bare or coated metal, including stainless steel, tool steel, brass, copper, nickel, silicon, titanium, aluminum, and more. No matter what metal an industry uses to produce certain parts, a fiber or galvo system is almost always the perfect solution.
