UK distributor Laser Lines Ltd offers the Synrad range of CO2 Lasers which are ideal for metal marking applications due to their flexibility and durability – and in this case ideally suited to marking anodized aluminium. Laser marking is perfect for any application where the information needs to be easily and quickly modified, be on a flat or curved surface, needs to be totally durable for traceability or requires excellent clarity.
During marking, the pigment in the anodize coating is essentially “bleached” by the CO2 beam so the protective coating remains intact. The aim of the application shown was to mark anodized aluminium label plates using 40 watts of power while fully ablating the black anodize coating. The overall cycle time to mark each label was 23.8 seconds.
