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 Langolier Desktop is a turn key system and versatile tool for most manufacturing and processing environments. The Desktop Langolier 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 Langolier's beam focusing lens.
Designed to be a turn key, desktop system the Langolier Desktop is ideal for small, low volume, high variety production environments.
All Langolier 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.
