Factors to Consider in Evaluating a Laser Marking System

When choosing the ideal model that you want for the purpose of using laser marking on your product, the following are the best things to consider, including:

1. The material to be marked
   Laser marking can work on a variety of surfaces. The marker used will depend largely on the marked material that you want to work with. For example, using a fiber laser is great for metals, whereas a CO2 laser is great for non-metals.

2. Expected Workload
   Some laser machines have low speeds, and may not function properly under high workloads. For example, when marking metal, it will be more cost effective in the long run to work with a fiber laser compared to a CO2 laser.

3. Line speed
   Due to the varying nature of laser wavelength and power, different systems will give different results depending on the production speed. High speed production lines will require high wattage markers to mark all parts in the process effectively.

4. The surface of the sign is movable or stationary
   If a machine is required to be fed into the processing line for continuous parts processing, a model which can mark the part of the moving part, at a predetermined speed, is a good choice as it provides high efficiency in the process.

5. Environmental conditions
   Some machines are sensitive to work environments that have a high tendency to dust, shock, and vibration, while others are robust and can withstand these environments.

6. Services are provided
   Sometimes, machine setup and operation can be tricky. While most laser markers are relatively low maintenance with a long service life, working with a supplier who has local expertise or who can provide instant assistance is a good consideration when choosing which equipment to buy.

There are many factors that must be considered in evaluating the use of the system in the laser marking process. We, Duta Laserindo Metal, always evaluate the use of the system in every metal fabrication process carried out, including in the laser marking process and other fabrication processes. If you want the highest quality laser marking process, we are the right choice to produce the metal you need.
