How Does Laser Marker Work

Laser marker is more like a drill press. There is a sharp, pointy cutting tool that's dragged across the part surface to mark the surface of the part. The laser marker is connected to a computer program where the marking details are entered.
Generally, this engraving process is used specifically for hard metal parts.
The parts are held in a vice attached to the engraving table while the cutting tool moves around to mark the part or lot numbers. Unlike a laser engraver, a laser marker usually works on one part at a time. The engraving takes a few seconds, and then the cutting tool resets and is ready for the next part. Because the parts need to be switched out one by one, this engraving requires more human attention.
Laser marker is commonly used in the automotive, aerospace, healthcare, and oil and gas industries. It's used to add simple numbers to parts, and not ideal for more complex engravings.

 

Pros of Laser Marker

 

 

Fast production processes. A laser marker does not take long to engrave as it works at high speeds. Take the fiber laser marker as an example, it can take a few minutes to engrave depending on the design and material used. It is important to keep in mind that thinner materials engrave faster than thicker materials.


A wide range of materials is available. Unlike other processes like chemical etching, laser etching is compatible with a wide range of materials. You can engrave metal, and plastics among others. This can afford small businesses more freedom in the choice of materials and design.


Precision. A laser marker has high precision and accuracy and can engrave metal and other materials at +/- .01. It is however important to note that the precision will greatly depend on the quality of the laser marker and tools used.


Non-contact marking. Laser marking is a non-contact process whereby the laser head never touches the engraving area. This helps minimize the risk of contamination and preserve the part's physical and mechanical properties.


Repeatability. A laser marker stores the vector file and can duplicate the design several times with high precision and accuracy. This gives you a fast turnaround time.

Start preparing your laser marker
Make sure the laser marker is set up in an area with good lighting and ventilation. If it's a tabletop laser marker, make sure the table is sturdy.
Once the laser marker is positioned, connect the power cable and turn the power on to the machine. Check the operator's manual for the recommended procedure. Make sure there are no foreign objects inside the laser cutting machine and that the optics are clean.
 

Choose the material you want to work with
When choosing a material for laser marker, it is important to understand the limitations of the laser marker machine being used. Most entry-level laser markers. Can engrave a range of materials such as: wood, plastic, leather, and glass. However, more powerful machines are needed to engrave more difficult materials such as steel. It is also important not to laser engrave materials that can produce harmful fumes or which can ignite during engraving. For these reasons, materials such as PVC, PTFE, and artificial leather should be avoided. While flammable materials like paper can definitely be cut, they need to be handled with care. Once you have selected a laser marker machine, the maximum material size for your projects is determined by the size of the engraver's work table. If your raw material is too big, you will need to cut it to size with an appropriate tool.
 

Determine the material part to engrave
The raw material must be positioned correctly on the laser marker work table to ensure that the correct section of the workpiece is engraved. Some laser marker machines have built-in cameras that can show the intended design superimposed over the actual blank. This allows the operator to align the design with the material. For example, the direction or structure of wood grain relative to the design can have a big impact on whether the final, engraved piece is aesthetically appealing. Simpler laser marker machines may simply require that one corner of the material be aligned with an origin point on the worktable.
 

Choose a laser marker software to use
laser marker software is required in order to convert a design into a set of instructions for the laser marker machine. Some laser markers have their own proprietary software that comes with the machine, whereas you must choose and install third-party software on others. Some of these third-party software packages are free, but not all.
 

Set the system settings to perform the engraving
Once the software has been selected, the design can be imported into the software and the process of converting it into machine instructions can begin. The most important settings are the speed, the laser power, and the number of passes. The speed and laser power settings depend on the material being engraved, while the number of passes refers to how many times the machine must retrace the image to reach the required laser marker depth. Deep engraving requires either a more powerful laser or more engraving passes.
 

Use proper safety procedures and begin engraving
laser markers generally operate in lower power ranges than dedicated laser cutting machines. However, laser light can still cause serious burns as well as permanently damage eyesight. Eye protection that is designed to block the specific wavelength of the laser marker must be worn. The laser marker operation must also be enclosed behind a safety screen. Most machines have an interlock system that prevents the laser from operating if the screen is open.
In addition, some materials can release fumes during the engraving process which may or may not be dangerous. It is good practice to vent laser marker fumes outside even if the fumes are not specifically toxic.
Once all the relevant safety measures have been implemented, the engraving process can commence. It is a good idea to keep an eye on the machine, especially if this is the first time using a new material.
 

Clean-up
laser marker is a much cleaner process than traditional engraving using a rotary tool. However, some clean-up is still required, both for the engraved part as well as for the machine. Clean up particulate matter generated when the laser ejects melted or vaporized material from the workpiece. First, check to make sure that the machine is turned off. Dedicated lens cleaning wipes are the best option for cleaning the laser optics without damaging the lens. Never use solvents, corrosive chemicals, or abrasive cleaners on optical components. Other parts of the laser marker can simply be wiped clean with a damp microfiber cloth.

 

 

How Long Does It Take to Laser Marker

The time it takes to laser marker depends on the material and the engraving size. The process of engraving can happen quickly. Laser engraving machines are extremely powerful and can concentrate a beam and make a cut into the material within a few seconds.
Larger applications or harder materials might require a bit more time. Very complicated design can take as long as several minutes, depending on the engraving design, material and laser's power. Using a higher power laser might help an engraving project go faster.
A project's details can also affect the time it takes to laser marker a material. If a laser engraving machine is integrated into a production line, it may be able to complete designs faster than if switching between multiple designs for different projects. Yet sometimes, unique laser engraving projects demand a unique solution. Creating a customized laser engraving machine can help you complete your projects faster and more efficiently.
