Laser marking plastic settings.

The following are suggested laser cutter configuration settings for various materials. However natual delrin is white and does not mark at all with any laser. Laser marking allows to efficient and rapid marking of an identifier on a plastic surface even in harsh environments. All settings noted use the default resolution which is 500 or 600 depending on the make of your laser system.

When using cermark metal marking solution remember that not all metals use the same speed setting. Low maintenance no consumables. In most cases pressing too much when marking can be counterproductive and can decrease the final contrast so it is better to start with 1 repetition and gradually increase them. Also available is a laser cutter user guide.

. Metals that are thick will require more heat energy and a slower speed setting. With a wavelength of only 355 nm this uv laser can create ultra fine marks with high contrast. For pvc abs and polystyrene both fundamental and green lasers show low transmission ratio and high absorption ratio which ensures good marking.

Laser marked identifiers on a plastic surface can withstand heavy salt spray and intense uv exposure. Robust and permanent markings. The graph on the left shows the transmission ratio of a fundamental laser 1064 nm and a green laser 532 nm for various plastic materials. Even the most powerful laser marking system will not make a mark on this material.

The mark settings object is used to change the laser settings within the marking sequence. Lmm6904 replaced lmm6046 black on glass. The most common processes of laser marking on plastic are carbonization color change foaming and engraving. Black delrin is truly an ideal plastic for showcasing the capabilities of a laser marking system.
