Innovative technology- Laser Engraving!

Laser is one of the most used technologies these days which is being used in almost every kind of sector right from medical to space to manufacturing. Laser engraving is one of the most important uses of laser in manufacturing sector wherein this Laser technique is basically used to mark or engrave into any object like metal parts, girders, and even specially designed alloys like polymers and some new metal alloys which have been developed so that they can be easily engraved upon.

There is no actual physical contact between the engraving bit and the surface that the engraving is being done upon and this is the main advantage of technique and which also helps us avoid any dangers of the bits or the surface corroding off, and engraving hardly shows over the surface which is not so in case of using metal bits as this laser engraving Technique helps to engrave the surface in an undisturbed way.

To introduce such technology, the question about its cost arises, as they needn’t be replaced in a regular fashion as in case of metal bits the cost work out way lower in the longer run and this can prove to be a big cost centre if the scale of production is considerable.

It can made to be highly precise while the engraving process is being carried out which is the best part about this technology, in fact for such kind of precise and intricate work, there is a particular laser table which is used. A very sophisticated setup it includes at one end of the table, a laser being stationed fixed and then it emitting its beam towards a pair of mirrors which deflect it in such a way that every bit of the tables’ actual surface can be covered. After this to focus the beams which help to make the overall engraving very intricate, a specially designed lens is used.

The kinds of surface that can be engraved are many like wood, leathers etc. which are all natural products and low intensity lasers are used in this type of engraving very as a high power laser engraving can spoil the material; one needs to know that for such kind of engraving is usually 10 watts, the maximum limit. Since usage of plastics is very widespread thus we can use it extensively to do markings for batch numbers etc for the objects plastic surfaces are also some of the substances that can be engraved. The basic material for which the whole engraving process was started is metal parts. Laser engraving has become quite popular in recent past in every sector its use can be witnessed. This technique is definitely one to reckon with.
