Aluminum. Aluminum is one of the most commonly marked substrates and is used in many industries. Typically, with lighter marking intensity, aluminum will turn white. It looks good when the aluminum is anodized, but white marking is not ideal for bare and cast aluminum. More intense laser settings provide a dark grey or charcoal
Bare metals are most readily processed using a 1.06 micron fiber laser with some metals also absorbing, to a lesser extent, a 10.6 or 9.3 micron CO 2 laser wavelength. Laser marking of metals is most easily achieved using a 1.06 micron fiber laser to heat the surface, causing oxidation in ambient air to form a permanent
may be done on bare aluminum or through surface finishes such as anodizing, paint and powder coat. Laser marking anodized aluminum creates a bright white mark. High contrast is obtained by engraving through a darker

2 marking -- engraving or etching -- of anodized aluminum is perfect to do direct part marking. Barcodes, Data Matrix Codes (DMC), alphanumeric numbers can be engraved directly on the surface. See all the benefits associated with the use of
Laser Engraving Aluminum. The use of laser technology to etch and engrave has been perfected over the years. There was a time when laser-engraving any kind of metal was impossible, but with advances in science and the use of shorter wavelengths, laser-engraving any surface, including aluminum, is
etching aluminum is an efficient means to identify aluminum parts with barcodes, 2D Codes, alphanumeric serial numbers or logos. Laserax developed laser marking solutions for sows, ingots, billets, slab, extrusion, diecast, hot and cold rolls. If you have an aluminum product, we have the laser system to mark
Laser Engraving Machines. Laser engrave your barcodes, serial numbers, text, and logos with an Epilog Laser machine. Our fiber laser machines can engrave or mark all types of metals including stainless steel, aluminum, tool steel, brass, titanium, and much more, allowing you to create a variety of mark types in no
Marking Type II Anodized, Chem Coated Aluminum and Bare When the coating on aluminum is vaporized away, the base material is exposed and the laser textures the surface such that scattering of reflected light gives the appearance of a stark, white mark. The same is true when marking bare

Aluminum . Cutting of reflective metals, like aluminum, requires a fiber laser or a CO2 laser of at least 250 watts. This allows adequate laser power to pierce through the metal and achieve a nice cut quality. Marking aluminum with a CO2 laser system is also
The CO2 laser can also engrave on glass, ceramic, stone, and coated metals such as anodized aluminum or coated metals. It works by vaporizing the material, leaving an indentation or cut into the material. A fiber laser basically does what a CO2 laser cannot. The fiber laser is used for marking or engraving bare metals and marking
There are two types of lasers used for etching or scribing (laser engraving) metal surfaces. YAG (for yttrium, aluminum, garnet) is a crystalline, solid-state laser that emits a wavelength of 1.064 micrometers (1064 nanometers). This type of laser is capable of scribing right through the anodic coating to the bare substrate
Engraving glassware is one of our favorite projects to engrave. Who doesn\'t love a tall pilsner glass with a personalized logo made just for Laser engraving ceramic gives a really nice crisp black color on text and graphics. On dark granite and marble we laser any picture directly to
All you need to know about laser etched depth When your design calls for laser etching, whether it is Line Engraving or Area Fill Engraving, the laser burns away a very small amount of material just enough to make an impression on the surface. The lasers are calibrated to provide a crisp contrasting visual effect, rather than a guaranteed

It looks good when the aluminum is anodized, but white marking is not ideal for bare and cast aluminum. More intense laser settings provide a dark grey or charcoal
General Metal Laser System Considerations. Platform Size Must be large enough to hold the largest pieces of metal that will be laser processed or be equipped with Class 4 capability for processing larger pieces. Wavelength The 1.06 micron wavelength is absorbed well by most metals and is recommended for laser cutting, engraving, and direct marking
am trying to mark bare aluminum with Cermark LMM6000 but having poor results. Cermark suggests use of 50 watt machines for aluminum marking but mine is only 30. If I really reduce speed I might be able to get an adequate mark but then I doubt that I can mark a part at a reasonable cost. I checked the TherMark site and they uncoated aluminum normally
bare metals reflect the wavelength of a CO2 laser, meaning direct marking typically requires a fiber laser source. Fortunay for CO2 laser owners, there\'s another great option. Bare metals like titanium or nickel plating can be pre-treated with a metal marking compound prior to engraving with a CO2
Aluminum . Cutting of reflective metals, like aluminum, requires a fiber laser or a CO2 laser of at least 250 watts. This allows adequate laser power to pierce through the metal and achieve a nice cut quality. Marking aluminum with a CO2 laser system is also
Ball Engraving Laser Engraving for Industrial Applications. Our marking process for stainless steel and bare aluminum leaves a permanent black mark that becomes chemically bonded to the material which will not wear or scratch
Laser machines are an ideal technology for marking and engraving on anodized aluminum, and can be used with both CO2 and fiber systems. Depending on the color of the anodized aluminum itself, a fiber marking laser can efficiently produce darker marks, while a CO2 marking system can produce bright engraving with

The laser engraving plastic sheets are specially engineered to produce maximum engraving detail at high speeds, whilst minimising residue and need for cleaning. Aluminum with coloured anodic coatings for laser and mechanical engraving. Learn how to laser engrave aluminium
engraving onto anodized aluminum, it is important that the vector graphic is produced using a RGB colour palette and that the engraving colour is black (RGB value 0,0,0). This will give the most contrast when engraved. Another important point, when engraving anodized aluminium is that the engraving must be done fast. If heat is applied for
Laser Engraving Anodized Aluminum. By jtechphotonicscom on May 29, 2020 in Uncategorized. We get asked a lot whether the 2.8W laser upgrade kit can engrave anodized aluminum. The answer is yes, for most materials. We have tried many in house for the last two years that people have sent us and that we have bought and have not found one it doesn
There are a whole host of materials that a CO2 laser cutter can cut, etch or mark but some due to the material surface reflection just work (aluminum is an example). While other materials can be extremely hazardous to either humans or the
