Excimer or TEA CO2? Drilling Micro-Machining PLD Research Wire Stripping

Marking

Marking has been a regular application for both the CO2 and excimer lasers for more than 30 years.

The CO2 laser's powerful beam can instantly mark a wide variety of non-metals. The UV energy from the excimer laser can produce dramatic color changes in plastics and ceramic materials. These marks are permanent and can be used for simple identification or traceability or anti-counterfeit. Sample testing at LightMachinery is free so do not hesitate to contact us to evaluate your marking application.

EXCIMER AND CO2 LASER MARKING

excimer-ceramic-chip-capacitor-markjpg

Ceramic chip capacitor marking, very small character sizes, high throughput, good contrast on most ceramics. Excimer marking is normally integrated into an automated test handler.

gelatin-capsules-laser-markedjpg

Gelatin capsules turn almost white when marked with the LaserMark laser. The large marks are made with very consistent quality at speeds up to 30 per second.

laser-mark-pill-handler-hartnett-schematicjpg

Typical gelcap marking making system using a Hartnet Delta handling system. The overhead laser minimizes the amount of floor space required for the laser. No ink or clean up required

High Speed marking on beer bottle labels is an ideal application for the instant marks produced by the LaserMark laser

blue-capacitor-laser-markedjpg

Epoxy coated capacitors develop high contrast marks when marked with the LaserMark laser.

laser-marked-transistorsjpg

Billions of transistors are marked every year using the LaserMark laser.

nail-polish-laser-markedjpg

The foil on this nail polish bottle cap has been removed to reveal the base plastic. The LaserMark laser provides very sharp clear lettering required for this type of cosmetics application

hysol-capacitorsjpg

Capacitors dipped in Hysol gold epoxy mark very easily with the LaserMark laser.

laser-mark-afflair-120-in-polyethylenejpg

Plastic additives can dramatically alter the laser marking characteristics of plastic materials. Normally polyethylene cannot be marked with a LaserMark laser. This photo shows the appearance of polyethylene with the additive Afflair 120 after marking with a CO2 LaserMark system.

laser-mark-afflair-219-purple-in-polyethylenejpg

This polyethylene sample uses Aflair 219 and produces a light mark on a dark background

laser-mark-afflair-504-in-polystyrenejpg

Red polystyrene is doped with Afflair 504 to produce a high contrast light mark on a dark background

laser-mark-inside-bottle-capjpg

Laser marks inside bottle caps can produce vivid high contrast "sorry try again" messages at very high speed. "you just won 1,000,000" is also possible.

laser-mark-pvc-bagjpg

CO2 laser produce a characteristic dark yellow mark on all PVC products, regardless of the base material color. A clear PVC bag is shown here

excimer-wire-markingjpg

Aerospace wire marking for Tefzel and Teflon wire. The excimer laser marks are high contrast permanent marks that cannot be removed with solvents. No reduction in insulation strength.

excimer-laser-glass-markingjpg

Applications include marking on contact lenses, flat panel displays. Mark shown here is typical of 2D matrix codes used on flat panel displays and other high value glass substrates. Glass marks are achieved using the excimer laser at 193nm. Dot size is 100 microns
