Medical Device Marking – Medical Saw:
These parts were marked using a 20-Watt Fiber Laser Marking System. The parts were marked with a single line, narrow font for speed purposes, and a bold font to increase readability. The parts were engraved deep enough that the marking would very hard to remove. One part was engraved using a narrow font, this produced a short cycle time. The cycle time for the narrow engraved part took 3 seconds. The second part was engraved with a bold font to increase readability; the cycle time for the bold font was 8.5 seconds.

Stainless steel parts were marked with a 20-watt q-switched fiber laser with a 160 mm focal length lens. The parts were deep engraved using 18 watts of power, a frequency of 20 kHz, and a speed of 5″ per second. The stamp marks on the samples the customer sent were duplicated. The total cycle time was 173 seconds.

The B Case, C Case & E Case parts were marked in the applications lab. The parts were marked as specified in the blueprints included with the capacitors. The whitish parts marked very well with the 20-watt q-switched ytterbium fiber laser. The dark brown parts did not produce as much contrast, but it did still mark. The smaller parts in the A Case were not marked since the applications lab was not currently stocked with a short enough focal length lens required to create such a small mark. The cycle times for the B case parts were 0.08 seconds, the C case parts had a cycle time of 0.115 seconds and the E case parts had a cycle time of 0.2 seconds.

The Hasselalloy-Nickel based bracket and Grommet were marked using a 20 Watt Q-Switched Fiber Laser with a 160 mm lens. The parts were annealed using 18 Watts of power, frequency of 35 kHz, speed of 5″ per second. 2D matrix code was read in the lab with a Symbol DS 3407 Reader. Good contrast marks were achieved.
