UV Laser Marking System
Introduction to UV Laser Marking Technology
In the fast-paced world of industrial manufacturing, UV Laser Marking Machines have become essential tools for precision, reliability, and versatility.
Operating with ultraviolet light at wavelengths typically around 355nm or 266nm, these systems deliver high-contrast, permanent marks on a wide range of sensitive and advanced materials.
As industries drive deeper into miniaturisation and material innovation, UV laser marking becomes indispensable for achieving unmatched detail, traceability, and product integrity.
Understanding UV Laser Marking Technology
UV laser marking is a “cold” marking process, which means it minimises thermal stress on the target material.
Instead of relying on heat, UV lasers photochemically alter the material’s surface, resulting in precise, high-resolution marks without melting or damaging delicate substrates.
