LASER MARKING

Foaming

The illustration on the right shows the basic
principle of foaming with laser systems.
Concerted foaming of plastic is possible with AC LASER Software and laser machining systems from ACSYS.
In that case, the plastic surface is raising.

ACSYS basic principle of laser foaming

 



Laser marking by foaming of plastic with laser systems from ACSYSWith certain types of plastics, the mark can be made by foaming. In this process,
the laser beam melts the surface of the plastic.

Gas bubbles are produced in the plastic during the process and are trapped inside after the material cools off. The enclosed gas increases the volume and the places that were processed with the laser appear to be raised.

 

ACSYS laser systems have multi-axis functionality which makes it possible to mark large-surfaces plastic webs on the workpiece.
