Fiber Laser Engraving Ceramics

Laser engraving is a key feature of spi redenergy fiber lasers.

Fiber laser engraving ceramics.

More details on how lasers work laser etching engraving and cutting. We recommend you have test sampling done to determine the best marking technique to apply to your ceramic material. Typically we use 1064 nm fiber lasers for marking parts via melting. Laser power at least 40 watts of co 2 laser power is recommended for glass and ceramic laser engraving and for glass marking as well as marking certain ceramic materials like zirconia.

Melting causes the material to darken creating a color contrast without fully ablating the surface. The most common materials are metals and plastics but our lasers are also capable of marking on ceramics composites and semiconductor substrates like silicon.

In general ceramics are a difficult substrate to laser mark as they do not typically absorb a lot laser light or wavelength.

The fiber laser is used for marking or engraving bare metals and marking plastics. The ccd vision system high accuracy x y moving table helps. The 1 06 micron wavelength of the fiber laser is recommended for laser marking certain ceramic materials like aluminum silicate. Xt laser offers a 532nm green laser marking system that is better absorbed by certain ceramics.

Laser engraving metal and laser marking metal are common uses. Laser cutting of thin film ceramic is also possible using a co 2 laser producing a clean edge with little discoloration. Laser processing of ceramics is typically performed using a 10 6 or 9 3 micron co 2 laser with some ceramics also absorbing a 1 06 micron fiber laser wavelength. Fiber lasers are optimally suited for metal marking methods such as annealing and metal engraving and for making high contrast markings on plastics.

Laser engraving of ceramics is achieved using a co 2 laser. The laser s energy heats up the ceramic material melting the surface and causing a direct color change. Capable of light to deep engraving spi lasers can be used to engrave all metals and ceramics. Contact us today to discuss applications further.
