We create a mark on Wires for identifying the range and voltage capacity of the wire. Putting a barcode or unique code on the wire insulation will help identify and track the damage that happened in case of an accident. The accident could be a nature accident such as lighting or the voltage fluctuations or the short circuit
How Permanent laser engraving on Building Construction equipments and products are useful?
Laser marks on tough PVC Wiring & Cables
PVC withstands harsh conditions. Electrical wiring and cables of the branded company need the brand logo and electrical capacity (rating on the PVC pipe). Foaming over the cylindrical surface of PVC pipe creates a permanent mark. Markolaser is the manufacturer of laser machines to serve all the plastic product manufacturers' branding needs.
Lasers for Water Pipes Manufacturer
PVC breakage rates are as low as one percent of the breakage rates of cast metal systems. In addition, the lack of build-up in PVC piping improves functionality and increases energy efficiency.
Precise laser for Healthcare system
Vinyl plays a critical safety role in dispensing life-saving medicine through IV bags and medical tubing. The advent of the PVC blood-collection bag was a significant breakthrough because blood bags are flexible and unbreakable, enhancing the development of ambulatory medicine and serving as the foundation for modern blood banks.
Why laser marking plastic?
- Laser marking on plastic products is permanent and legible. Marking is one of the best-preferred ways of branding and serialization.
- It is an environmentally friendly and human-friendly machine with no consumables required.
- It is not responsible for any pollution if the laser is a class I laser.
- It is the most economical machine with no recurring consumable cost, unlike Pad printing machines requiring inks and plates as the artwork changes.
- Laser markers on plastic substrates are always smudging and abrasion-resistant.
- The laser marking on the plastics substrate involves the following processes:
Laser Paint Removeable and peeling off
Paint removal or peeling of the paints from the Plastic surface after screen printing or Spray coating is a commonly used application in the automotive industry.
It not only increases the value of the product but, on the other hand, it also increases the aesthetics of the automotive dashboard.
One of the best examples is the Backlit application. In the backlit application, the Spray coating is applied on the auto part then the laser is used to burn the paint or coatings.
Some of the examples are automobile instrument panel switches, Audio panels, and Dashboard buttons.
Plastic Laser Surface layer remover or peeler
Plastic Laser cutting or Laser surface peeling/ remover is the process that has become the alternative to the physical knife. Laser surface remover engraves the plastic from the top surface.
Fine Laser Cutting of plastic products Laser Marking and Cutting are different processes
Which method do you require for your application will create the significance and importance of the product?
To cut some plastic used in medical require a very typically engineered fine Laser marking machine for these special plastics. Cutting these plastics with a physical blade may consume a lot of time and workforce. In addition, efficiency will not be achieved with this type of cutting. And there are chances that the blade will be left on the sample while cutting, which may lead to many risks
Colour Shade Creation: Balck and white color development on plastics
Nano and micro conductor Semiconductor chip and circuit which has 1000s of the transistor is critical to laser mark. The laser marking on this tiny transistor is a complex job to do.
The wrong laser marker for plastic will damage the electronic circuit.
Right beam power and wavelength will decide the right effect on the transistor.
If the laser configuration is not up to the mark, than it may lead to damage of the semiconductor chip.
Laser Welding on plastics
We need to answer a question: What does Laser welding of the plastic mean. Laser welding of plastics means joining two plastic parts together by using optical heat radiations. For example, Laser welding of two medical parts for preserving a special type of medicine. Laser welding of two transparent plastic tubes.
Old techniques are also called traditional methods with flame and optics produce a lot of burrs.
How does the color of the substrate change on laser marking on Plastics?
Laser Foaming Application on Plastics
Once the laser beam of light strikes the substrate's top layer, it generates bubbles and foams on the plastic base. The optimal thermal effect creates a bubbling effect as the gas will get evaporated from the surface of plastic products. The thick puffy layer above the surface of the plastic is known as base foam. This base foam is called foaming, created with laser technology. The puffed foam will be clearly visible if the plastic product is dark in color. This visible mark helps in creating brand value and serialization over all the plastics from an FMCG product to a highly strict compliant automotive product.
For example like, if the product is in Black colors, it will convert into white gray and on the red plastic product, the baby pink bubbles will be developed once the laser strikes the base surface of the plastic
Laser Condensing process on plastics
In simple words, when the laser strikes the top surface of the plastic material, the base material absorbs the laser energy. As we know, the thermal heat is directly proportional to the molecular density of the plastic product.
Therefore the plastic molecular density increases.
As the condensation happens, the colors changes.
Laser Carbonization on Plastic products
Carbonization means when the plastic base converts its color into the black in the reaction of laser radiation. As theme laser stricks the surface of plastic, the particle after engraving around the plastic base carbonizes and turns into black.
