Laser marking improves clarity and rub resistance
Laser marking is the use of high energy density laser beam on the target role, so that the target surface physical or chemical changes, so as to obtain the visible pattern of the marking method. The high energy laser beam is focused on the surface of the material, causing the material to vaporize rapidly and form a crater. With the laser beam moving regularly on the material surface while controlling the laser on and off, the laser beam is also processed into a designated pattern on the material surface. Laser marking has obvious advantages over the traditional marking process: fast marking speed, clear and permanent handwriting; non-contact processing, small pollution, no wear and tear, the mark should remain unchanged after the friction test; easy to operate, strong anti-counterfeiting function; can be done to achieve high-speed automated operation, low production costs.
