Industrial product marking has made considerable progress in recent years and lasers have become an indispensable tool in this field. Although fiber and CO2 lasers have their advantages and are firmly established in our range, we would now like to introduce you to the versatile applications of the UV laser. Here are ten detailed reasons why the UV laser could be a worthwhile investment for your company.
1. versatility
UV lasers are characterized by their versatility. They can be used on a variety of materials and colors, especially plastics and flexible, recyclable films. This gives companies the flexibility to mark different products efficiently and effectively without having to switch to different marking systems. With Domino's in-house laser laboratory in Hamburg, we also have the ability to test materials for compatibility with UV laser technology at the customer's request with scientific precision and to find the optimum operating parameters.
2. precision
The ability to create precise and legible markings is a significant advantage of the UV laser. This precision is essential in many industries where accuracy is crucial. Precise markings are particularly important in the medical technology, electronics and automotive industries.
3. environmental friendliness
UV lasers are an environmentally friendly marking option as they use no solvents and produce minimal fumes. This reduces the environmental impact and improves working conditions by minimizing exposure to potentially harmful substances.
4. high contrast and resolution
The outstanding contrast and resolution quality of the UV laser results in razor-sharp and clear markings. This makes them easier to read and improves product identification, which is particularly important for products with small details.
5. adaptability
The adaptability of the UV laser enables a high degree of variability in the marking results, depending on the material and parameters of the laser. This opens up a wide range of possibilities and applications and enables companies to optimally adapt the laser to their specific needs.
6. compatibility with sustainable packaging materials
UV lasers are compatible with a wide range of sustainable packaging materials that may not be markable with older laser technologies. This is particularly important given the growing importance of environmentally friendly packaging and changing legislation.
7. preservation of the Barrie properties
Marking with a UV laser does not have a negative effect on the barrier properties of the marked substrates. This is not only a game changer for the food packaging industry; UV laser technology also helps in other industries, such as cable manufacturing, to mark products without any loss of quality.
8. no expensive laser additives required
The use of a UV laser does not require expensive laser additives or marking additives due to a photochemical reaction on most white plastics, which reduces operating costs compared to other types of lasers, such as fiber lasers.
9. compliance with new regulations
Companies that need to comply with new packaging regulations will benefit from the UV laser's ability to mark effectively on mono films and other recyclable materials. This is crucial to remain competitive in the ever-evolving regulatory landscape.
10. future security
The UV laser is a future-proof marking tool as it can adapt to evolving market requirements and materials. In particular, the ability to mark on light-colored and environmentally friendly materials will become increasingly important with the growing move away from black plastics and the introduction of new materials.
Conclusion:
The UV laser is an indispensable, versatile and future-proof tool in the world of industrial product marking. With its many benefits, it is an excellent investment for companies that need to adapt to ever-changing requirements and regulations. At CHROMOS Industrial, we are proud to carry this innovative laser in our range and are happy to help you learn more about the possibilities it can offer your business.
