Introduction

UV laser wire marking machines are advanced tools used for the precise and permanent marking of wires and cables. These machines are integral in industries where traceability, identification, and quality assurance are paramount. The use of UV lasers allows for high precision without damaging the substrate.

Working Principle of UV Laser Wire Marking Machines

UV laser wire marking machines operate by utilizing ultraviolet laser wavelengths, typically in the range of 355 nm. The fundamental working principle involves focusing the UV laser beam onto the surface of the wire. The laser energy is absorbed by the surface material, causing photochemical reactions that result in high-contrast, durable markings.

Process Details

  • Ablation: The laser removes material from the surface, creating grooves or indentations that form the marking.
  • Color Change: Photochemical changes induce a color change without material removal, ensuring the wire’s structural integrity.
  • Foaming: Generates raised marks due to gasification at the surface, useful for tactile marking applications.

Key Parameters in UV Laser Wire Marking

The effectiveness of UV laser wire marking is determined by several parameters:

  • Laser Power: Typically ranges from 3 to 10 watts. Power levels influence the depth and speed of marking.
  • Pulse Frequency: Usually between 10 and 200 kHz, affecting the resolution and marking clarity.
  • Marking Speed: Can reach up to 7000 mm/s, impacting production throughput.
  • Beam Quality (M2): A high beam quality (close to 1) ensures finer markings with greater precision.
