Laser marking is the marking of workpieces using a laser. The material of the workpieces determines the respective processes and energy requirements. Almost all materials can be marked with a laser. Laser markings are water-proof and wipe-proof and extremely durable. They can be created quickly, automatically and for individual applications. Therefore, many manufacturers from various industries use flexible and permanent laser marking as their preferred method for marking parts.

The markability of plastics heavily depends on the basic material and the color pigments that are contained within it. Further admixtures (fillers, additives, flame retardants, etc.) play an important role when deciding about the right laser system for the specific application. Learn more in our laser compendium.

Fiber lasers, solid state lasers and CO2 lasers are the ideal radiation sources for the majority of laser marking applications. ACSYS marking lasers are characterized by extraordinary efficiency and a compact design, offering low operating and maintenance costs. These characteristics guarantee customer satisfaction and a competitive advantage.

In contrast to other engraving processes, laser engraving is entirely contact-free. The material is fused and evaporated by using only laser light. There is no need to fasten the workpiece in place during processing. Highly precise 3D engraving can be produced using the AC-LASER Software together with a laser control system, which has been optimized for the relevant application, and high-quality optical components. This process is used, in particular, if filigree texturing and engraving in molds, dies or coin minting stamps are required.

Oxygen is used as the cutting gas for laser burn cutting. During the separation process, the oxygen introduces additional heat into the workpiece due to the localized oxidation of the basic material in the cutting joint, thereby accelerating the cutting process. Laser burn cutting is ideally suited for manufacturing parts quickly and efficiently, whose visual appearance will continue to change due to subsequent surface finishing processes.

Laser fusion cutting has the advantage of producing a virtually oxide-free cutting edge. The cutting gas is an inert gas. Inert gas blows the molten material out of the separating joint and cools the cutting edge. Laser fusion cutting is used if workpieces must fulfill high visual requirements without further processing. If subsequent alterations of the material are unwanted, then hygiene and laboratory engineering aspects must also be taken into consideration.

Laser-remote-cutting (sublimation cutting) is the laser cutting of very thin and sensitive materials, which are cut without the use of cutting gases. This means that the laser alone evaporates the material, thereby removing the material layer by layer and creating a very thin cutting gap. This process offers unique solutions for processing a wide range of very different composite materials.

The LAS - Live Adjust System camera set-up module by ACSYS makes working with the laser very efficient. 2D and 3D graphics as well as texts can be edited directly on the workpiece using camera-based editing. A dual-camera solution provides an additional ultra-high-resolution preview of the workpiece straight through the laser beam.

The plotting scale is made of stainless spring band steel. The special requirements of the laser machining center are repeatable accuracy and highly precise transversing axes as well as the high-performance AC LASER software, which allows the exact segmentation of the scale.

The seamless circumferential laser engraving and marking on the circumference of rings is one of the most challenging tasks in the field of laser machining. The precise ACSYS machining systems with their NC-controlled dividing heads and the LAS - Live Adjust System preview of the result on screen ensure maximum precision and repeatability for high traversing speeds.

The inner marking of cambered rings as well as the seamless circumferential laser engraving and marking on the circumference of rings are one of the highest skills in the field of jewelry refinement. ACSYS laser machining systems are characterized by maximum precision and flexible configurability.

The precise set-up functionality of the LAS - Live Adjust System gives the user several decisive advantages: reduced scrap, designing directly on the workpiece, and 100% repeatable accuracy. The ACSYS high-precision dividing heads allow the rotary machining of jewelry from all sides.
