Application of fiber laser marking machine

Fiber laser marking is high frequency marking (1064 nm wavelength). It is capable of marking on very wide range of materials like all metal and plastic. In this section we shall describe industry specific applications. These are just example to give you picture of the potential use.

• Marking on LED bulbs: Fiber laser marking machine can mark at very high speed on LED bulbs. This application is highly recommended on any scale of LED production. Marking is done in less than a second and unit marking cost is very low.
• Marking on auto parts: Fiber laser marking can do beautiful marking on metal auto parts. It is very widely used by auto part suppliers and after market branding on auto parts. It has cheapest per unit marking cost of all other method.
• Marking on Jewelry: One common application of laser marking is hall-marking. If you are looking for solution for hallmarking you fiber laser marking is highly recommended. It can also be used to engrave beautiful pattern on Jewelry.
• Marking on PCB: PCB need to be marked for components. Fiber laser marking is highly suitable. It is also used for marking on chips
• Marking on Mobile and Electronics: Lot of mobile companies and mobile accessory supplier use fiber laser marking technology, as it cheap and cost effective.
• Marking on knives and accessories: Beautiful marking can be done on various accessories using fiber laser marking. It is specially useful for knives as other method are risky as the can damage the blade.
• Marking on utensils: Making of design on steel plate and thali is common using fiber laser marking technique.
• On the fly marking on various products: On the fly marking is useful on continuous production at large scale. For example it can me used to mark on wires or it can be used on packing machine to mark on the packed product.

Key features of fiber laser marking

• No consumable: There is no requirement of any refill, ink or toner. The machine is lowest on per piece marking cost as compared to other method.
• Contact less: The marking machine does not touch the product to be marked. This has great advantage on marking on delicate products.
• Adaptability: Suitable for wide range of application. Same machine can be used on various application. Machine can also be hand held. It is also possible to put fiber laser marking on conveyors.
• Wave length: of 1064 nm (Infrared A band) is higher as compared to CO2 and suitable for metal.
• Q switch laser technology: In this technology the source generate very high energy pulse of (0.5 mJ to 1 mJ) of short duration (~100 ns). This instant burst of energy is capable of causing evaporation on surface of metal without generating much heat. This also gives marking of very precise size.
• Robost machine: Machine can work in wide range of temperature, humidity.
• Air-cooled: Unlike CO2 laser the fiber laser is air cooled upto 100 watt. Which makes machine more cost effective and smaller in size. Air cooled CO2 are costly and not available in higher power.
• Higher electric efficiency. The machine consumes lower power as compared to CO2 laser. The laser conversion efficiency is much higher as compared to CO2 laser.
• Works on reflective metals: Works well with reflective material like aluminium, copper, silver, gold and brass.

Best Fit Materials

• Carbon Steel: The machine is very well suitable and marks precisely on carbon steel.
• Stainless steel: It needs highly-précised and accuracy on edges marking. So this machine is highly recommended.
• Copper: All copper material surfaces is marked perfectly by this laser machine.
• Brass: Brass surfaces cutting is perfectly done using the fiber laser machine.
• Aluminum: All aluminum utensils and reflective material marking is very precise and perfect.
• Titanium: The surface on titanium needs higher accuracy, so this machine is quite effective and cost-effective.
• Hard Plastic: Fiber laser marking machine can be very useful for hard plastic materials.

Job work using Fiber laser marking machine

Some of our customer use fiber laser marking machine for job work. It can mainly serve corporate gifting products and branding on small items. Job work is charged on per piece basis, depending on time taken on one piece. Current market rate of job work is between Rs 300 to Rs 600 per hour. You can use this range to calculate per piece charge. We have created a small video about job work. You are advice to watch below video if you are interested in job work.

Fiber laser marking samples

Below are some sample of fiber laser marking machine. It can be used for utensils, It can also be used for gift items and jewelry. These are just some of samples and machine is capable of doing much more.

Limitation of fiber laser marking

Fiber laser marking machine is not suitable for engraving on plastic, acrylic and glass. We recommend CO2 marking machine and UV Laser marking machine for these application.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Why it is called Fiber Laser? 

It is an optically doped fiber made of dysprosium, thulium, ytterbium, etc. It emits the fiber laser beam using specially designed glass fibers and takes energy via pump diodes.

Q2. Which material can this machine mark?

This laser machine is mostly used to mark and engrave on metallic surfaces like titanium, gold, silver, copper, Painted Acrylic, Aerosol Glass, PVC etc.

Q3. Will this machine mark plastic, wood and MDF?

Fiber lasers can mark some plastics and MDF. It works well with hard plastic. But effect is poor on soft and transparent plastics. We recommend you to test the machine for your product. Alternatively if budget is not an issue you can choose UV laser marking machine or CO2 laser marking machine.

Q4. What will be its marking area? 

The Fiber laser marking area is 70x70mm, 110x100mm, 150x150mm. 200×200 (marking). 300×300 light marking. When marking area is smaller marking is deep, smaller marking area is also useful if you want to use laser marking machine for cutting application.

Q5. What will be the cost of this machine? 

Depending on functionality the lasers are available in different specifications and price ranges in Indian currency. The price range of Fiber laser machine is TBD.

Q6. Will this machine also work on acrylic, leather, and rexine? 

Both fiber and CO2  provide clear marks on cast acrylic. Additionally, this machine is also good for leather and rexine based material marking. However, this machine is perfect for metal based marking and engraving needs.

Q7. What is the estimated life of this machine? 

The working life of a fiber laser machine is around 30,000 hours to 100,000 hours. So, you can expect its lifespan from 15 years- 45 years with great precision and less maintenance. So, buying this machine can bring maximum profit to your business.

Q8. Can the 50w machine also cut? 

Yes, you can use a fiber laser of 50w machine to cut the material. However, for good and high-precision marking and cuttings need it is recommended to buy more than 80W laser fiber machine.

Q9. If it can cut, on which material and to what thickness can it be cut? 

Fiber lasers can also do cutting work for thin metals such as aluminum, stainless steel etc. And, the thickness of material can be 0.2mm, copper thickness 0.1mm, etc. However, the laser machine is not fit for higher thickness of materials.
