Laser is a device that emits a beam of coherent light through an
optical amplification process. A laser can be considered as a system which
stores light energy and releases it in a much localized area, the emitted
energy has very high density energy. Laser Marking, also known as laser
engraving or laser etching, is a marking method which utilizes laser light to
mark materials using a fine spot diameter ranging from 0.002′ to 0.01′. The
laser marks with short pulses (30 nanoseconds), providing precise control, and
negligible heat input to the part.
Laser marking stands for marking or
labeling of work pieces and materials with a laser beam. It is the production
of human- and/or machine-readable identification or information on a material
such as barcode, date/lot code, serial number or part number, others. A fast
and clean technology, laser marking is rapidly replacing older marking methods.
The Global Laser Marking Machine Market is segmented on the basis of type of
machine, applications, and region.
On the basis of type of machine, the global market is classified
into Fiber laser marking machine, CO2 laser marking machine, End-pumped laser
marking machine, Side-pumped laser marking machine, hybrid laser marking
machine, laser engraving machine, UV laser marking machine, others. CO2 laser marking
machine – is an ultrafine marking machine for non-metal marking. It incredibly
imprints over glass, plastic, acrylic, and many other materials. Its
crystalline marking works on wrappers and packages.
UV laser marking machine delivers high contrast, permanent codes
allowing product lifetime track and trace for pharmaceutical, medical device
and cosmetic manufacturers. Laser engraving machine, which is a subgroup of
laser marking, is the practice of using lasers to engrave an object. A laser
engraving machine usually consists of three main parts: a laser, a controller,
and a surface. The laser is like a pencil, the beam emitted from it allows the
controller to trace patterns onto the surface. On the basis of forms of laser
marking, the global market is classified into Annealing laser marking, carbon
migration laser marking, foaming laser marking, and coloration laser marking.
Annealing laser marking – refers to an oxidation process of applying heat to a
surface material. It is common in medical industry with applications such as
internal tracking and branding.
Carbon migration laser marking – it can be
applied to metal and metal alloys. Carbon migrates to the surface via a heating
process which produces dark markings. Heat is applied at a rapid pace. It can
be used in Aerospace, jewelry engraving, metal working, and others. Foaming
Laser Marking – is used when a plastic is darker and the desired end result is
a lighter color (usually white, gold or various tan shades). This change in
color occurs by creating a molten burn on the surface that is both contained
and controlled. When the surface is melted, it creates an atmosphere of foaming
gas bubbles. Foam laser marking can be used for marking on ink cartridges,
keyboards, cosmetic packaging, others.
Coloration Laser Marking – The process of adding color to a
plastic or metal, or coloration laser marking, is created by heating specific
parts of a surface based on the anticipated outcome. Modifying the surface by
controlling its pulse frequency, width, and more will result in varying colors
and shades. Metal coloration occurs with an oxidation process. It can be used
in creating decorative jewelry, color coating ear tags for cattle, and marking
colors on a bottle cap.
On the basis of materials, the global market is classified into
Metals: Stainless steel, aluminum, gold, silver, titanium, bronze, platinum or
copper, Plastics: ABS, polycarbonate, polyamide, PMMA or plastics with laser
additives, Paints, Foils and films and packaging, Laminates. On the basis of technique,
the global market is classified into photo masking and the beam steering.
On the basis of application, the global market is classified
into high-speed characters, logos, graphics, bar codes, 2D Data Matrix marking.
Geographically, the global market is segmented into North America, China,
Europe, Southeast Asia, Japan, and India. The key players are, Telesis
Technologies, Videojet, Epilog Laser, Tykma, Mecco, Laserstar, Universal Laser
Systems, Gravotech, Rofin, Trotec, FOBA, Trumpf, Eurolaser, Keyence, Hans
Laser, and Huagong Tech.
