Eliminate inks, pad printing, paper labels, with laser marking systems from Worldwide Laser.
In this news letter read about laser marking plastic with color contrast and with no additives or sprays, the laser experts at Worldwide Laser can provide a laser system for your existing lines or equipment or build a complete turn key laser system for your operations.
Videos of laser marking plastic can be seen here!
Laser marking systems from Worldwide Laser allow direct laser marking on plastic and produce a color contrast on almost any plastic surface, the laser marking systems from Worldwide Laser are eco-friendly and protect the environment because these laser marking systems eliminate inks, chemicals, solvents, and other harsh chemicals which are damaging to the environment. Laser marking systems from Worldwide Laser are also beneficial to your company profits and cash flow as laser marking systems have no requirements for consumables and once installed operate for two to six years with no maintenance expense or costs. Look below for some examples of color contrasted laser making on plastic completed by the LP9000U series of UV lasers from Worldwide Laser.
In this application the LP9000U UV laser marking system from Worldwide Laser was used to laser mark a black plastic bottle replacing a paper label, [protecting the environment by eliminating the paper label itself, the ink used to print the label, and the glues/solvents used to apply the label demonstrating again how laser marking systems from Worldwide Laser are eco-friendly and environmentally sound] the LP9000U 355nm laser marking system was comprised of 355nm laser with gavlo head, and Worldwide Laser controller software Zap-IT the entire laser mark show here was completed in approximately 4 seconds, notice the level of detail in the mark especially the detail level of the laser marked graphic.
Video of this plastic laser marking can be viewed at http://www.wlsc.com/laser-marking-etching/blast/14/video/. The laser systems division of Worldwide Laser can build a complete laser marking system or provide a new laser marking 355nm UV LP9000 for integration onto existing lines or equipment.
In this application a 355nm UV laser system was used to laser mark plastic replacing ink pad printing the use of laser marking to replace ink pad printing has many advantages some of which are elimination of costly and environmental unfriendly inks and solvents, also the laser marking system allows for instant art work changes in case the items being printed are required to change with the LP9000U series of 355nm laser marking system changes to what is printed on your product can be accomplished with a simple click of the mouse. 355nm laser marking systems also will not damage or etch the surface of the products producing a smooth surface with permanent non removal laser marking on plastic. This plastic laser marking was completed in less than 2 seconds utilizing a glavo head and Worldwide Laser controller software Zap-IT. For this application of laser marking plastic the parts are in several different colors, red, green, white, and yellow video of the 355nm LP9000U laser marking plastic fuses can be viewed at http://www.wlsc.com/laser-marking-etching/blast/14/video/
In this application Worldwide Laser demonstrates laser marking with a UV 355nm LP9000U series laser on a plastic lens used in the optics industry. The use of the 355nm laser marking system from Worldwide allows the plastic lens to be marked without etching or trenching into the surface of the lens thus protecting the product while providing for permanent non removable color contrasting plastic laser marking result, the laser marking process also eliminates the traditional methods of product identification such as ink, or paper labels thereby creating sustainable eco friendly manufacturing process. The 355nm laser used in this application was coupled with a galvo head and Worldwide Laser controller software Zap-IT, the plastic laser marking application was completed in approximately 1 second the video can be viewed at http://www.wlsc.com/laser-marking-etching/blast/14/video/ this plastic laser marking system can mark standard and 2-D [data matrix] bar codes which can be machine read to assist in product recalls and manufacturing process flow.
