- fiber laser marking systems are part of the solid-state laser group. The laser beam is created in a diode-activated optical fiber
- optical beam deflection: flexibly mounted mirrors guide the bundled light beam over the product surface - thus resulting in the marking effect
- very high energy density in pulsed operating mode: ideal pre-condition for metal marking
- marking is applied to both mobile and immobile products
- often the fiber laser system will subsequently be integrated with existing production systems
- fiber laser systems have a decisive advantage: they are free of consumables and virtually maintenance-free
- low subsequent costs because of a very long lifecycle of 450,000 operating hours!
- advantages compared with Nd: YAG laser. No lamp or diode replacement necessary, much smaller design
- complete design freedom in creating text, graphics and drawings
- intellectual property protection and traceability ensured by the permanence of the mark
Typical application areas for the fiber laser
- engraving and color change marking (annealing) of metals
- color marking of untreated plastics and plastics treated with laser additives
- layer removal: daytime- and night-time design, etc. (e.g. switch in the vehicle)
- marking using laser transfer foils
- marking on laminate foils (tubular bag packages)
