Laser marking is a fast, simple, flexible and permanent process or printing technique using for identifying objects. Laser marking can be used on diverse range of surfaces like heavy metals, plastic, glass, wood, rubber etc. for marking the identification; when it is on metals or on alloyed surfaces, calls laser engraving. The sharp laser beam engrave on the metal surface through some thermal process that is, when laser strikes on the metal, its temperature increases that leads to remove the material on the surface for creating different design patterns. The laser marking can be performed on all type of surfaces as on flat, curved, or round surfaces. Laser engraving marking system doesn’t make any alteration in product, so it can make an accurate, visual marking independent of the stiffness of material. A laser engraving equipment consists of three parts, laser, controller, surface; the emitted beam from the laser control its direction, intensity, velocity, spread of the beam by the controller meant at the surface. The laser beam is very powerful, so in these automation systems include strong support of a software and hardware for controlling the process of laser marking system. The speed, power and exact focusing ability of a laser beam is controlled by the controller for getting improved results. Now a day, laser system is using not only in laser making system but also in different applications as laser marking system, automation systems, jewelry, fine arts, high speed character, logo, graphic, bar-code and 2D matrix marking etc. Normally fiber laser marking machine is using in laser printing and embroideries in diverse styles. Laser marking is extremely legible and eternal, discourage tampering, and are able to resist harsh environmental conditions and also stands against wiping, corrosion, impacts, wear and tear. It gives high quality and enduring marking, high marking speed, flexible data management, ease of use etc.. Laser marking is most long-lasting and allows for very clean line of art and more detailed designs. Laser marking is not using any noxious chemicals, not using ink or tool, not producing any dust, not generating any sound, not required any replacement and also less operational cost and service charge of machine. The only inconvenience of laser marking is the initial expense of laser marking equipment; it is higher than the traditional engraving machines. While working with laser engraving equipments, the people should be more careful and advised to wear proper attires because laser beams have a huge penetrating capacity on almost every surface. Pad printing is another durable type of printing process using for transforming a 2D image onto 3D object. Pad printing uses an indirect offset printing process, where an image is transferred via a soft silicone pad onto the surface or substrate to be printed. The silicon pad is using in pad printing process for allowing the pad to pick the image from the flat plane to cylindrical, spherical flats. There are two common methods used in inking the plates-the open inkwell system and the sealed ink cup or closed cup system. Pad printing services include in medical, automotive, electronics, promotional items & all retail & commercial products. When compared to other printing technologies, pad printing can easily print irregular shapes and surfaces and also print complicated substrates at a reasonable speed. Pad printing is very cost effective and is having a lot of color option and ink formulas to use in multicolor printing, decoration on the surface of metals. In automated printing technology, laser printing and pad printing systems could make a revolution over other traditional printing methods. The quality assurance and accurate printing results of the laser and pad printing techniques made them most common and popular method.Get laser marking system from Amtec and know more about laser engraving from our website.
