Guide to Buying a UV Laser Marking Machine for Beginners
With its unique cold processing characteristics and high-precision marking capability, UV laser marking machine plays a vital role in many industries such as electronics, medicine, jewelry, and packaging. This guide will comprehensively introduce the working principle, technical characteristics, application fields, purchase, use, and maintenance of UV laser marking machines.
What is UV Laser Marking Machine?
A UV laser marking machine is a type of laser marking system that utilizes an ultraviolet (UV) laser beam to create permanent marks or patterns on various materials. UV lasers emit light at a wavelength shorter than visible light, typically ranging from 200 to 400 nanometers, making them ideal for micro-processing and fine-marking applications.
Working Principle of UV Laser Marker
Here’s how it works:
Laser generation: UV laser light is generated by exciting a mixture of gases (e.g. argon, xenon, etc.) by an electric current. These gases are placed inside the discharge tube of the laser.
Laser enhancement: By adding appropriate gain media (such as Nd: YAG crystal) to the laser, the laser beam can be enhanced and amplified to form a high-energy ultraviolet laser beam.
Laser modulation: UV laser is modulated and focused through lenses, mirrors, and other optical components in the optical system. Through the action of these optical elements, the diameter, power density, and focus point size of the laser beam can be controlled.
Material interaction: The material to be treated on the positioned table is adjusted to the focal point of the laser beam. When UV laser interacts with materials, it will cause local changes on the material’s surface.
Material marking: Depending on the required marking effect, a UV laser can etch, cut, or color the material surface through evaporation, oxidation, or chemical reaction to complete the marking process.
The working principle of UV laser marking machines takes advantage of the high energy and shorter wavelength of UV laser, which can achieve high-precision, clear, and durable marking effects on many materials. It is widely used in electronics, medical, aerospace, and other industries, and is especially suitable for marking and processing tiny parts and material surfaces that require high details.
