Laser marking of plastics<\/h1>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

There is a growing need in the manufacturing industry to identify or permanently mark products. As a result, laser marking has become increasingly popular. This technique is used mainly on tools and components for the purpose of identification; this is also true with plastic processing.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, plastics are more difficult to laser mark than steel. If laser marking is not possible, traditional engraving might be a good alternative. Do you want to know what the possibilities are? Then don\u2019t hesitate to get in touch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

What is laser marking?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Laser marking is a relatively new technique. A computer controls the laser beam which can create an image, text or code on plastic, organic material, or metal. A laser mark<\/strong> is accurate<\/strong>, highly durable<\/strong>, and almost imperceptible to touch<\/strong>. We expect this technique to partially replace laser engraving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BKB Precision uses the Lion UV 3W<\/strong>, a laser machine from Lion Laser Systems<\/strong>, which is capable of marking around cylindrical products. \u2018This machine is a fine addition to the product engraving which BKB Precision already does,\u2019 says director Mannes Westhuis. \u2018We can now offer even more customisation and service to our customers, as well as being able to mark our own materials.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laser marking with LionFiber<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At BKB Precision, we have opted for the LionFiber machine, a solidly housed piece of equipment with user-friendly touchscreen operation and software. Thanks to its short set-up times and flexibility, it is also possible to laser mark a small series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This laser marker is versatile and fast-working. We can use it to mark or personalise products permanently and accurately. Whether you want a sleek logo, barcodes, or product and serial numbers \u2013 it\u2019s all possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BKB Precision also uses the laser marker to mark the special machine tools we use for our precision plastic processing. By distinguishing complex machine tools, we can make automatic tool distribution even more efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
