Introduction To Fiber Laser MarkingPresented By
Four Primary Laser Sources Used For Marking
• CO2 – 10,600nm• IR – 1060 to 1064nm• Green – 532nm• UV – 355nm• IR and CO2 Most Common
Wavelength of laser is important in determining what materials can be processed. For example Aluminum absorbs IR laser light while it reflects CO2 laser light. Therefore IR lasers are a better choice when processing Aluminum.

Different Types Of IR Marking LasersFour Primary Types• Lamp Pumped YAG• Diode Pumped YAG• Vanadate• Fiber
Fiber Is Most Widely Used• Maintenance Free• Stable Output Power• Long Operating Life

CO2 Laser Marking ApplicationsDirect Part Marking – No Additive Required On Surface Of Material• Plastic• Glass• Wood• Leather• Anodized Parts• Rubber• Paper Products
Metals• Metal marking spray is applied to surface of
material and allowed to dry. The laser is then used as a heat source to bond the dried spray to the surface of the metal thus creating contrast.
• No Engraving Capabilities

Fiber Laser Marking ApplicationsAll Direct Part Marking• All Metals
• Carbon Steel• Stainless Steel• Aluminum• Titanium• Nickle• Etc.
• Plastics• Spray is not required on
surface of material.
Great For Engraving Metals

Engrave – Vaporization of base material sufficient to produce depth from 0.001” to 0.020” or deeper.
Burn Mark – High speed mark that produces good contrast with some burn into material.
Annealed Mark – Draws carbon to the surface creating a black contrast with a smooth surface finish. No penetration into material.

THREE TYPES OF MARKS
• Burn Mark – High speed mark that produces good contrast with some burn into material.
• Frosted/White Mark – High speed mark that produces a frosted or white contrast.
• Engrave – Vaporization of base material sufficient to produce depth from 0.001” to 0.020” or deeper.

Why Laser Mark?• Product Identification
• Part #• Serial #
• Traceability• 2D Code• UID Code• UDI Code• QR Code
• Marketing• Logo – Branding
• Sales• Customize Products – Add
customer logo on parts to generate greater sales
