The graphic was done in 2 parts and each part was assigned different laser settings in order to get the two tone logo on the final part. We used a 20 Watt fiber laser with low power settings.
The Langolier fiber laser marking system used for this application is the state of the art in industrial direct part marking lasers. The Langolier fiber laser marker uses the latest solid state Ytterbium fiber laser systems (Infrared1060-1080nm) possessing a powerful and efficient combination of flexible fiber delivery, high peak power, excellent beam quality, and the best wall-plug efficiency available.
Medical device marking is not always easy. Doing it right means a unique set of requirements that sets it apart from most other marking applications. The need for permanent, non-contaminating, legible and accurate marking defines the requirements for laser marking on medical devices, whether they be tools, instruments or implantables. By selecting the appropriate combination of optical and laser settings Jimani Laser Engraving Services can provide product marking that looks good and withstands the rigors of the medical environment.
