Laser Marking System UV Laser Marker (Nd:YVO4)

Due to their low wavelength and the relatively low heat input during marking, UV lasers are ideally suited for the high-contrast laser marking of sensitive and delicate materials, such as glass, certain plastics (silicones, white polyamides) or ceramics. UV laser markers are used primarily in the automotive and aerospace sectors (cable marking) and in medical technology (catheters, insulin pumps).

What makes UV laser markers stand out?

Ultraviolet marking lasers are particularly suitable for materials that require marking with as little heat as possible. The low heat input of the UV laser means that even the most sensitive products remain virtually intact. 

Due to a photochemical effect, the UV laser marker creates a high contrast on the marked surface, but does not damage it, as was previously the case with foaming. Medical plastics for invasive applications can thus be marked permanently and sterilizable. Glass can be provided with filigree and brilliant markings and flame-retardant plastics for electronic housings can be marked without damaging the material.


FOBA's UV lasers mark...

Particularly gentle and durable

With a wavelength of 355 nm, UV laser markers offer decisive advantages, especially when marking sensitive materials. With its short wavelength in the ultraviolet range, the heat input is so low that even delicate materials are marked reliably, durably and gently at the same time. This is why UV lasers are often used for labelling sensitive medical plastics and electronic components.

Reliably legible and high-contrast

From data matrix codes (DMC) to logos and characters: UV laser markers such as the V.0020-uv are perfectly suited for marking even very small content pin sharp and reliably legible. Plastics can be colored photochemically without using solvents or additives.

Hygienic and biocompatible

Due to the low heat input, the UV laser marking process is very gentle to the material. This is particularly important in medical technology to ensure hygienic conditions and medical quality standards. As the marking is created by a photochemical reaction, also the biocompatibility of the material remains unaffected. 

 

Versatile

UV marking lasers are versatile, e.g. they are optimally suited for marking various plastics and glass. Difficult-to-mark materials such as silicones, white polyamides and flame-retardant plastics as well as sensitive products such as cables, tubes and medical products are marked safely and reliably.

 

Economic and reliable

Thanks to the long-life diode and air cooling, FOBA's UV laser markers are particularly low-maintenance and economical. An integrated vision system offers automatic mark alignment and inspection steps to achieve a highly stable marking process and to reduce scrap.
