UV LASER MARKING MACHINE

Laser Marking

UV lasers operate at a wavelength of 355nm, which is absorbed by a wider range of materials than other laser types. This means that a single UV laser can engrave on leather, wood, plastics, metals, and even specialised materials like borosilicate glass. UV lasers can also cut thermally resistant materials such as carbon fibre, offering a level of versatility that’s very hard to beat!

When it comes to precision, UV laser engravers are unmatched due to their exceptionally small optical spot size. In fact, the UV laser’s spot size is 30 times smaller than a CO2 laser and three times smaller than a fibre laser. This smaller spot size allows for incredibly detailed work, but the advantages of UV technology don’t stop there.
Because UV lasers use a colder form of marking, they create less thermal reaction when the beam is absorbed by the material. For instance, if a CO2 laser creates a 300-micron spot on a material, the heat generated can cause the affected area to expand to 500 microns. In contrast, a UV laser creates a spot size of just 10 microns, and even with a bit of thermal expansion, the affected area is still only ~11 microns. This can mean a UV laser is up to 45 times more precise in real-world terms compared to CO2.

A UV laser engraver operates by breaking the atomic bonds in the material, rather than melting or vaporising it as other lasers do. This “cold marking” process results in minimal heat, reducing the risk of damage and ensuring crisp, high-resolution results. The smaller 355nm wavelength of UV lasers create a highly focused spot size, allowing for much more intricate detailing on more delicate materials with no burning or distortion.

Hardening & Tempering

We achieve increased hardness (and therefore the strength) of steels using the vacuum hardening and tempering processes. This delivers through hardening of the material. Heat treatment processes are also used to increase fatigue life, wear resistance and, in some cases, corrosion properties. It is a tool and die heat treatment process, and is used to harden D2, to harden H13, and to harden tool steel.

Gas Nitriding

Why Nitride?

Gas Nitriding is normally carried out on hardened and tempered and fully stabilised parts to produce a hard wear resistant case, enhanced corrosion resistance and good fatigue performance.

The process is usually performed on fully finished components which, in many instances, require no additional operations prior to assembly.

Whilst Gas Nitriding is normally applied to low alloy steels it is possible to Nitride other materials such as stainless steel, titanium and nickel alloys, however the preferred nitriding route for those materials is Plasma Nitriding.
