Laser Marking Powder Coated Aluminum

The Specifications

For this project the specifications included:

Industry: Electronic Equipment

Part Type: Front Panel

Material: Die Cast Aluminum with Powder Coating

Mark Data Type: Text + Logo

Laser Mark Type: Laser Etching, multiple passes for consistent burn through powder coating

The Process

Laser marking time is 150 seconds for this logo that is over 6 inches long and one inch high. The time could be reduced but this particular customer desired a very crisp and consistent logo because it was the primary brand mark on the equipment.

Laser Marking Aluminum

We recommend using a fiber laser system for laser marking aluminum because it gives the user a great degree of flexibility in the type of mark that can be made and the material that can be marked.

A Jimani Hybrid Desktop is a turn key system and versatile tool for most manufacturing and processing environments. The Desktop Hybrid is designed to be a compact, stand alone laser marking station flexible enough to handle one off samples and mid-range production runs. Rigid part holders or a choice of Z axis travel lab jacks can be used to place to work at the focal plane of the Desktop Hybrid's beam focusing lens.

Designed to be a turn key, desktop system the Hybrid Desktop is ideal for small, low volume, high variety production environments.

All Hybrid fiber laser marking systems are supplied with Prolase, a user friendly, proven, robust laser marking systems software package very easy to use for importing and manipulating graphics files for brands, logos, and schematic files.
