UID Marking Aluminum

Application Details:

UID marking was accomplished with a 20Watt Fiber Laser Marking System using a 160 mm lens. The part was marked with multiple etched marks of 2D codes and squares. The cycle time for the 2D code was 3.28 seconds. Two different squares were marked on the part with different cycle times. The light squares had cycle times of 6.86 seconds. The dark squares had cycle times of 13.89 seconds. The 2D code was readable at our application laboratory. The best readable part was the dark 2D code on the light square.

Fiber Laser Engraving Machine

Fiber Tower™ Series is the new generation of Fiber Laser Material Processing Systems for Direct Parts Marking, UID Marking (Unique Identifier), and Deep Engraving. It is the most advanced, compact, industrial grade, mid size, Fiber Laser Engraving Machine available on the market. Fiber Tower™ series employs the new generation of solid state Ytterbium fiber laser systems of near infrared spectral range (1060-1080nm) with a unique combination of high peak power, ideal beam quality, fiber delivery and highest electro-optical wall-plug efficiency

These laser machines possess a reliability that is unmatched by any other kind of solid state or gas laser systems. Wide selectivity of operating wavelengths, ultra-low amplitude noise, high stability and ultra-long pump diode lifetime complete an impressive list of advantages of these modern fiber laser systems.

Fiber Laser Marking Kit

The i-Series Fiber Laser Marking Kit was specifically designed for maintenance-free OEM applications.  It delivers a diffraction limited (M2<1.05) laser beam directly to the worksite via a metal sheathed single mode fiber cable.

These compact service-free lasers are designed to operate under high shock, vibration and dust conditions, with relatively high humidity and temperatures. They do not require routine replacement parts or materials. Wall-plug efficiencies up to 50% result in a compact size, reduced utilities, and trouble-free air cooling.

Fiber-to-fiber architecture means a robust, monolithic design with no optics to align or maintain, no mechanics to stabilize, and with the focusable power and high power densities needed for the most demanding applications. One cable connection makes it easy to integrate into any laser marking and engraving system.
