Plastic

Many applications call for color contrasting marks on plastics Co2 lasers 9.3nm and 10.6nm] generally will etch and mark the plastics but do not provide color contrasting marks, YAG and Fiber lasers [1064nm to 1067nm] can sometimes provide color contrast but not always and in most cases YAG and Fiber lasers will create damage to the surface of the part being marked by creating trenching or by creating a raised area with a bubbly appearance.

The LP9000U series of UV lasers eliminates all the traditional issues associated with Co2, YAG, & Fiber laser marking of plastics, the LP9000U series of UV lasers provide clear highly readable, professional appearing color contrasting laser marking to almost all plastic surfaces here are a few examples.
