Suitable Models

ML-Z9500 Series 3-Axis CO₂ Laser Marker

Print Quality

• - Printing is achieved by generating minute cracks in the glass.
• - Repetitive marking at low power allows for clearer print quality.
• - Quartz glass is able to be marked without causing cracks to occur on the surface.

Points to Note

• - Printing at high power can sometimes cause large cracks.

Benefits of 3-Axis Lasers

• - 3-Axis lasers do not require physical installation adjustments to focus the laser. Focal adjustment is done via the dedicated marking software.
• - Purposely de-focusing the laser beam may allow for clearer marking of characters on some materials.

Suitable Models

ML-Z9500 Series 3-Axis CO₂ Laser Marker

Print Quality

• - Thermal marking melts the surface of the glass.
• - Quartz glass is heat-resistant, allowing the laser to print on the surface without generating cracks.

Points to Note

• - Since quartz glass is heat-resistant, printing may sometimes need to be done slowly at high power to create high visibility.

Benefits of 3-Axis Lasers

• - Allows for clear, distortion-free printing on glass products with fine tapering curves, such as test tubes and fluorescent bulbs.
• - Variable-focal-length printing is possible without setup changes on products of various diameters and curved surfaces.

Suitable Models

ML-Z9500 Series 3-Axis CO₂ Laser Marker

Print Quality

• - The ML-Z9500 Series markers create high-visibility printing by precisely removing the preprinted surface (ink layer).
• - High contrast marking allows for highly readable barcodes and other detailed printing.

Points to Note

• - Darker preprinted surfaces allow for maximized contrast.
• - Barcodes generally require more time to print than lettering.

Benefits of 3-Axis Lasers

• - Printing is always consistent and is not affected by carton warpage or expansion.
• - Tapering curved surfaces can be accounted for when marking, allowing for undistorted printing on complex shapes.

Suitable Models

ML-Z9500 Series 3-Axis CO₂ Laser Marker

Print Quality

• - ML-Z9500 Series models allow for high-powered printing by burning characters onto a white surface.
• - Allows for high contrast printing on white backgrounds, therefore, easily replacing ink-jet and stamping printers.

Points to Note

• - High-powered laser markers may generate soot when printing.
• - Some cases may require the use of a dust collector to combat soot.

Benefits of 3-Axis Lasers

• - Printing is always uniform, unaffected by carton warpage or expansion.
• - The focal distance can be adjusted within a 42 mm range, allowing for flexible installation when incorporating laser markers into existing machinery and similar equipment.

Suitable Models

3-Axis Hybrid Laser Marker MD-X1000/1500 series

Print Quality

• - Only the coating is removed without scratching the equipment.

Technique

• - Increase the spot size to prevent the component being damaged, and then scan at high speed to remove only the coating.
• - Coatings such as enamel and cation are hard, so lower the Q-switch frequency and pulverize the coating to remove it.

Suitable Models

3-Axis Hybrid Laser Marker MD-X1000/1500 series

Technique

• - It is possible to peel off alumite using a CO₂ laser marker, but the alumite film may not be peeled off completely due to
• - Set the Q-switch frequency to a low value and shallowly engrave the alumite layer and the aluminum part. This causes diffuse reflections of light, which appear as white marking.
• - Performing processing with a laser that has a narrow beam diameter makes the edges clear, which provides a sharp finish.
