Fiber Laser Engraving Ceramics

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.

Fiber laser engraving ceramics.

Laser engraving of ceramics is achieved using a co 2 laser. The fiber laser is used for marking or engraving bare metals and marking plastics. Applications include part identification decorative marking and more. Laser engraving metal and laser marking metal are common uses.

In general ceramics are a difficult substrate to laser mark as they do not typically absorb a lot laser light or wavelength. 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 laser marking on organic insulating material a ceramic substrate ceramic package with han s laser mopa fiber laser technology.

Laser cutting of thin film ceramic is also possible using a co 2 laser producing a clean edge with little discoloration. Rmi laser marking systems are capable of marking a variety of different materials. We recommend you have test sampling done to determine the best marking technique to apply to your ceramic material. Fiber lasers are optimally suited for metal marking methods such as annealing and metal engraving and for making high contrast markings on plastics.

How they differ and when to use them. Capable of light to deep engraving spi lasers can be used to engrave all metals and ceramics. The most common materials are metals and plastics but our lasers are also capable of marking on ceramics composites and semiconductor substrates like silicon. Laser engraving is a key feature of spi redenergy fiber lasers.

The laser s energy heats up the ceramic material melting the surface and causing a direct color change. Contact us today to discuss applications further. Xt laser offers a 532nm green laser marking system that is better absorbed by certain ceramics. The 1 06 micron wavelength of the fiber laser is recommended for laser marking certain ceramic materials like aluminum silicate.
