Laser technology allows engraving and marking a wide range of materials accurately and quickly. Within the industrial sector the most common laser systems are the CO2, Nd: YAG and Fiber laser. But in this post we will talk about the last two.

The main advantages of the Nd laser: YAg and Fibra in the processing of materials are:

• Ease of control and automation
• Integration in production chains
• Processed without contact with the part
• Versatility when working different materials
• Time reduction
• Permanent product identification and many more

AND HOW DO THE FIBER LASERS, Nd: YAG, AND CO2 WORK?
The laser marking usually do by displacement of the spot, the beam of the beam orient by a combination of galvanometric mirrors so that it follows the path until it reaches the marking surface, with the design to be marked.

Depending on the type of technology used, excellent results on metals and plastics can achieve. With the fiber laser you will get better results on reflective materials (such as gold, silver and alpaca) as well as be more resistant in more industrial environments than the Nd: YAG laser, more suitable for working with non-reflective metals, plastics and less harsh environments
The galvanometric head in both systems, allows them to work at higher speeds so they are ideal for industrial or serial markings.

Depending on the type of lens used in the head we will have a greater marking area. That is, the larger the marking area, the thickness of the marked line will greater.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A LASER Nd: YAg and FIBRA?

The difference between an Nd: YAG and Fiber laser is that the process of the first one is more linear and that of the more moldable fiber, in this way the details are more precise. Depending on the materials and applications to work, one or another technology will be chosen.
