REA - Fiber Laser FL

* fiber laser marking systems are part of the solid-state laser group. The laser beam is created in a diode-activated optical fiber
* optical beam deflection: flexibly mounted mirrors guide the bundled light beam over the product surface - thus resulting in the marking effect
* very high energy density in pulsed operating mode: ideal pre-condition for metal marking
* marking is applied to both mobile and immobile products
* often the fiber laser system will be integrated with existing production systems subsequently
* fiber laser systems have a decisive advantage: they are free of consumables and virtually maintenance free
* low subsequent costs because of a very long lifecycle of 450,000 operating hours!
* advantages compared with Nd: YAG laser. No lamp or diode replacement necessary, much smaller design
* complete design freedom in creating text, graphics, and drawings
* intellectual property protection and traceability ensured by the permanence of the mark
Typical application areas for the fiber laser
* engraving and color change marking (annealing) of metals
* color marking of untreated plastics and plastics treated with laser additives
* layer removal: Daytime- and night-time design, etc. (e.g., switch in the vehicle)
* marking using laser transfer foils
* marking on laminate foils (tubular bag packages)
