Laser Systems: Unique Tools Harnessing The Power Of Laser Technology
LASER, an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (also
known as a laser or L.A.S.E.R.), has become the technology of today, helping various industries and businesses to achieve their specialty material processing goals. Being a mechanism for emitting electromagnetic radiation (typically light or visible light) via the process of stimulated emission, lasers emit light in an intense, narrow, low-divergence beam, and this is the property that makes them perfect for use in environments where other methods fail.
In manufacturing industries, lasers are of indispensable value where they are used for
laser marking, etching, engraving, imaging, and for cutting plastic and other materials. There are specialized machines available in the market to help businesses use laser technology for different purposes. There are various types of laser technology, such as CO2 laser, YAG laser and Fiber laser technology to name a few one can choose the laser system according to his/her own preferences and needs. CO2 laser systems are one of the most popular laser systems because they not only offer greater power, flexibility and reliability, but have also proven to be effective in processing a wide range of materials including wood, paper, glass, textiles, plastics, rubber, metals, and more.
There are many benefits of using a
laser marking machine over other conventional marking systems for the fact that laser marking, being a non-contact type process, gives accurate and aesthetic marking without actually producing any deformation in the material, as you would find in methods such as punching, stamping, vibrating engravers, pneumatic pins, etcetera. Laser marking is permanent, and thus offers an easy way for electronics manufacturers to create permanent, abrasion-proof marks on their products that remain resistant to chemicals, and can withstand wiping, scuffing, impact, and wear-and-tear. This is the reason that it can be used as a way of permanently marking a physical item for tracking, either for security or quality control reasons. Laser systems can create clear and accurate logos, enable in-production customization and/or personalization, and engrave bar codes with laser markers. To extract the maximum potential from a laser marker, the system can also be integrated within any manufacturing process. There are systems available that, though software support, could automate the whole process, so a manufacturer can easily create serial numbers and/or batch numbers on their products and track that product through the rest of the assembly-line process.
CO2 laser systems can be used to cut metals, composite materials, paper, glass, acrylics, aluminum oxide, polymers, ceramics, as well as natural materials such as rubber, leather, stone, and wood. CO2 laser systems are known to produce best quality results by creating polished, high quality edges and thus are widely used in wood processing, construction modeling, leather clothing designs, package printing, electronic industry marking, sheet metal cutting, arts & crafts, architectural design/decoration, and various other areas of professional material processing. There are specially-built, precision-manufactured lasers and laser systems available in the market that are able to accurately, and quickly, cut intricate designs and artwork from any graphics software program, ensuring the highest possible
laser cutting performance with crisp, clean edges. Sometimes these systems come with specially-designed tables that not only hold materials without fixtures or clamps, but also help remove smoke and debris, which otherwise may impact the quality of the final product.
