Lasermerkintöjä

Lasermerkintöjä, also known as laser marking, is a process that uses a laser beam to create permanent marks on various surfaces. This technique is highly versatile and can be applied to a wide range of materials including metals, plastics, glass, ceramics, and even organic materials. The laser beam works by either removing material from the surface, altering its appearance through a chemical or physical change, or melting and re-solidifying it.

The precision of laser marking allows for intricate designs, serial numbers, barcodes, logos, and text to be applied with high accuracy. This makes it an ideal solution for industries requiring traceability, identification, and aesthetic enhancements. Common applications include marking components in the automotive and aerospace sectors, labeling medical devices, personalizing consumer goods, and marking tools and industrial equipment.

There are several types of laser marking technologies, including CO2 lasers, fiber lasers, and UV lasers, each suited for different materials and marking effects. The choice of laser depends on factors such as the material composition, desired mark depth, contrast, and speed of the process. Safety is paramount in laser marking operations, and proper protective equipment and enclosures are necessary to prevent eye damage and skin exposure. The process is non-contact, meaning it does not exert physical force on the workpiece, which is beneficial for delicate items.
