To elevate product value and recognition, letterings or graphics are engraved onto precision mechanics, parts and objects to add product distinction. Presently the YAG or YVO4 Laser has been utilized to engrave on these parts and optimally delivers meticulous results. However, the market price of YAG or YVO4 Laser is much higher than the CO2 Laser which can be a considerable heavy burden for some manufacturers; if there is a cheaper CO2 laser option available to take the place of YAG and YVO4 laser, it will certainly be a popular alternative.
Using the CO2 laser to engrave on metals is practicable, as in our previous Showcase we had already exhibited applications using the CO2 laser to engrave on metals. Therefore, operators can take the advantage of adapting a special THERMARK substance with their CO2 laser, which in due course will also achieve results and performances matching the YAG and YVO4 Laser.
The LaserPro Application Lab acquired assorted paints provided by THERMARK http://www.thermark.com/; these THERMARK paints can be used on stainless steel, iron, copper, metal, lead, titanium, nickel and other metallic substance and also produce exciting color creations on glasses.
The LaserPro Application Lab will now demonstrate with THERMARK to create samples, exhibiting distinguishing results with different THERARK paints. Please refer to illustrative examples below for more information.
