50w Laser Marking Machine

With the continuous development and progress of science and technology, the increasingly demanding product identification and personalized customization have become important trends in modern manufacturing. In this context, 3D fiber laser marking machines, as a new type of identification technology, have gradually received widespread attention and application. It can not only accurately mark on complex three-dimensional surfaces, but also meet diverse production needs, providing innovative solutions for various industries.

3D fiber laser marking machine is a device that uses fiber laser as a light source and achieves accurate marking in three-dimensional space through a focusing system. Unlike traditional planar laser marking machines, 3D fiber laser marking machines can perform high-quality marking on complex curved surfaces and irregularly shaped product surfaces. This type of equipment usually includes components such as a laser source, a scanning system, control software, and a workbench, which can adjust the focus position and laser energy in real time to achieve high-precision, depth-adjustable marking effects.

3D fiber laser marking machines represent the cutting-edge development of laser marking technology. With its high precision, high efficiency, and wide applicability, it is constantly changing traditional identification methods and promoting the development and innovation of various industries.

The working principle of the fiber laser marking machine is based on the basic principles of laser technology, mainly including the generation of fiber lasers, laser modulation, and the realization of the marking process. The following is a detailed description of the working principle of the fiber laser marking machine:

1. Laser generation

The core component of the fiber laser marking machine is the fiber laser. The working principle of the fiber laser is as follows:

Gain medium: The fiber laser uses materials such as erbium (Er), ytterbium (Yb), or erbium-ytterbium composite as the gain medium, which is embedded in the optical fiber. When current passes through the gain medium, it absorbs energy and is excited to a high energy state.

Excitation and light feedback: The excited medium releases photons when it collides, forming self-excited light. The photons propagate along the optical fiber and are reflected at both ends of the optical fiber by the reflector to enhance the intensity of the laser and form a high-intensity laser beam.

2. Laser modulation

After the laser is emitted, the output characteristics of the laser need to be controlled by the modulation system. This usually involves the following steps:

Beam shaping: The laser beam is shaped and focused by an optical system (such as lenses and reflectors) to obtain the desired laser characteristics (such as spot diameter and energy density).

Frequency and power modulation: By controlling the frequency and power of the laser, different marking effects can be achieved, such as changing the depth, color and line width of the marking.

3. Scanning system

Fiber laser marking machines usually use a two-dimensional or three-dimensional scanning system for marking:

Two-dimensional scanning system: A galvanometer (mirror) is used to change the position of the laser beam by adjusting the angle of the galvanometer to mark on a plane. This method is suitable for most flat or slightly curved surfaces.

Three-dimensional scanning system: For complex three-dimensional surfaces, the laser beam needs to move in three axes (X, Y, Z) to achieve precise marking. This system is usually more adaptable and can mark irregularly shaped workpieces.

4. Marking process

During the processing process, the laser beam is irradiated to the surface of the workpiece, and after multiple laser pulses, the laser energy instantly heats and evaporates the material. In this process, physical or chemical changes occur on the surface of the material, which in turn form logos, patterns or text.

The working principle of the fiber laser marking machine integrates laser technology, optical system and electronic control technology, combining the advantages of these technologies to achieve a precise marking process. Its fast, efficient and precise characteristics make it play an important role in industrial manufacturing, food packaging, medical equipment and other fields.

As an advanced application of laser marking technology, 3D fiber laser marking machine has many unique features.

4. Flexible depth control:

The output power and marking depth of the laser can be flexibly adjusted according to needs to achieve accurate marking effects on different materials.

5. Real-time visual positioning:

Some high-end models are equipped with real-time visual systems, which can perform automatic focus and position correction during the marking process to improve the accuracy and efficiency of marking.

6. Multiple functions:

Not only limited to marking, but also can realize multiple functions such as engraving and punching, which expands the application field of the equipment.

Laser Marking vs. traditional marking

Compared with traditional marking technologies (such as printing, engraving, etching, etc.), laser marking has its own unique advantages and disadvantages. The following is a comparison between them:

1. Process principle

Laser marking: Use high-energy laser beams to directly act on the surface of the material, and through photothermal effects, the material undergoes physical or chemical changes to form a mark.

Traditional marking: Marking on the surface of the material through mechanical force, chemical corrosion or printing technology. This includes ink printing, engraving, thermal transfer and other methods.

2. Marking accuracy

Laser marking: With extremely high accuracy and clarity, it can achieve tiny characters and complex patterns.

Traditional marking: The accuracy is low, and the realization of complex patterns is relatively difficult.

3. Material applicability

Laser marking: Applicable to a variety of materials, including metals, plastics, glass, ceramics, etc.

Traditional marking: Some technologies have poor adaptability to materials, such as printing is mainly applicable to flat materials, while engraving and etching are usually only effective on specific materials.

4. Production efficiency

Laser marking: Fast marking speed, suitable for mass production, and no post-processing is required after marking.

Traditional marking: relatively low efficiency, especially when the template or printing equipment needs to be replaced, the production cycle is long.

5. Durability

Laser marking: after marking, it usually has strong wear resistance and corrosion resistance, is not easy to fade, and is suitable for long-term use.

Traditional marking: durability varies according to different technologies, and ink-printed marks may fade or be damaged due to friction and chemicals.

6. Cost

Laser marking: initial investment is high (equipment cost), but long-term operating costs are low, especially in large-scale production, the unit manufacturing cost drops significantly.

Traditional marking: equipment investment is relatively low, but consumable materials (such as ink, templates) may lead to increased costs in long-term use.

7. Environmental protection

Laser marking: relatively environmentally friendly, no chemical reagents are used, and basically no waste is generated during the marking process.

Traditional marking: some technologies require the use of chemicals and consumables, which may have a greater impact on the environment.

8. Flexibility

Laser marking: programmed operation, easy to modify and adjust, suitable for diversified production needs.

Traditional marking: When the marking content or style needs to be changed, it may be necessary to reset or replace the equipment.

9. Post-processing requirements

Laser marking: Generally no post-processing is required, and the marking can be used directly after completion.

Traditional marking: Some methods (such as etching) may require post-processing steps to ensure the quality or durability of the mark.

Laser marking and traditional marking each have their own advantages and disadvantages. The selection of the appropriate marking technology should be determined based on specific production needs, material types, cost budgets and product characteristics. Laser marking is particularly suitable for application scenarios with high requirements for accuracy, durability and flexibility, while traditional marking still has advantages in some simple marking and cost control.
