The laser engraving<\/strong><\/a> it's a tool quite popular<\/strong>, given that It makes the work easier<\/strong> when making any type of engraving. It is often widely used in industrial sector<\/strong> because it allows them to leave permanent marks in order to protect intellectual property and personalize articles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is laser engraving?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

laser engraving<\/strong> is a process that vaporizes the materials<\/strong> in the form of rays to engrave permanent and deep marks. This acts like a chisel, carving marks on the delete layers<\/strong> from the surface of the material. The laser works by hitting localized areas<\/strong> with massive levels of energy to generate the high heat necessary for vaporization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The laser engraving technology<\/strong> It is commonly used to engrave metal parts that are exposed to different types of wear or treatments<\/strong> superficial<\/strong>. The most prominent feature of this process is the ability to engrave 2D codes<\/strong> that maintain high readability indices after post-process treatments. These treatments can be shot blasting, electroplating and heat treatments.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can laser engrave a large variety of materials<\/strong> such as: steel, aluminum, anodized aluminum, lead, magnesium and zinc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How is the proccess?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The laser engraving<\/strong> sublimates the surface of the material to create deep cracks<\/strong>. This means that the surface instantly absorbs energy<\/strong> enough to get past solid to gas until it becomes a liquid.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To achieve this process, the engraving system must generate enough power<\/strong> for the surface of the material to reach its vaporization temperature<\/strong> in milliseconds. You have to keep in mind that you are tools are quite powerful<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The materials vaporize into smoke when they reach certain temperatures, so we must take into account that the laser system is equipped with a smoke extraction<\/strong> to protect the workspace and a air knife <\/strong>to protect the laser lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laser engraving in the industrial sector.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In it industrial sector <\/strong>the use has been implemented remarkably of various types of laser engraving<\/strong>. This allows them to leave permanent marks, in order to protect intellectual property and customize items<\/strong>. It also allows them to provide verifications and controls to avoid replicas or counterfeits<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
