What is Laser?
Laser stands for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. The laser produces a light that is functional for various technologies. A bright and narrow beam of radiation is generated by a laser. Light by a laser is monochromatic and concentrated in a precise direction. Laser is a flexible technology that is used for a variety of applications such as cutting, welding, marking, engraving, and others. Laser technology is a growing technique, it is used in various industrial and commercial operations. Laser systems use divergent lasers and systems to do engraving or marking in a systematic way.
About Laser Engraving
Laser engraving is a marvelous process in the 21st century. The method in which there is the use of a laser to engrave a design on metal, jewelery, glass, wood, and others. In simple terms, we can say creating deep marks on a material with the help of a laser. Laser engraving offers great results with multiple benefits.
Laser engraving is a kind of art that is performed on different shapes. The surface on which marking, designing, and engraving take place results in excellent finishing.
Conventional techniques for marking or engraving on metals or plastics are now replaced with the help of splendid laser marking machines. The process followed by this machine is successful due to its high speed, fast results, and outstanding working technique.
High-powered lasers are used to heat the material, therefore removing material and creating marks as per the requirement. The present world is now focusing on permanent marking solutions using a beam of light. The notable point in this process is that doesn’t require inks. That’s why people in this modern world are learning about this process and finding out how this method will help their business. The laser engraving technique is mainly used for product identification and offers fruitful results to businesses across the globe.
A beam of light plays the foremost role in the entire process of laser engraving as without it we can’t do engraving. Engraving technology is used for various industries such as automotive, medical, jewellery, educational, and various others. If you want a smooth and long-lasting marking solution, then you must go for laser engraving. The outcome of this method is completely human readable and ameliorate the product.
This great technology can be applied to engrave text, logos, barcodes, serial numbers, and other information on various surfaces. Laser engraving is now easy after the introduction of the laser engraving machine. Let us now learn about this machine.
About Laser Engraving Machine
Laser Engraving Machine uses laser technology to do marking on various surfaces. It is made up of the best materials. There is a need for a beam of light, a controller which is responsible for speed and movement plus it also determines whether the laser beam falls on the required surface or not and the most important is the surface on which we need to do engraving. Numerous laser engraving frameworks are available as per the area required for engraving and other technical specifications.
Fiber laser engraving or marking machines are the most preferred among customers as these machines require low maintenance costs. Result by these Frameworks is fast and accurate.
Industries that need to engrave data like expiry date, manufacturing date, batch number, and other useful information in neat and readable form are using these machines and are getting numerous advantages in an easier way.
Difference Between Laser Marking and Laser Engraving
| Laser marking utilizes a low-powered beam of light on a surface of the material by changing the material appearance resulting in producing superior marks on the surface. | Laser engraving utilizes a high-powered beam of light by removing the material from the surface which needs to be marked and results in producing premium marks on the surface. |
