Today’s fiber technology offers many benefits in the marking of plastics. Polypropylene short PP can label themselves well with the fiber laser. In the current case, the expensive and maintenance-intensive inkjet label should be replaced by a laser system. Laser marking offers significant advantages in terms of speed, efficiency and quality. Today’s fiber laser technology offers clear advantages due to your system and beam properties with many materials, also and in particular for the laser marking, or laser marking. A recent example shows the laser marking of polypropylene or short PP. This material is increasingly used in the automotive industry, electrical engineering, in the construction industry but also in the textile industry due to its specific characteristics.
In the current case involves polypropylene matrices that are used in the area of the cardboard folding. It must be marked as many other industrially manufactured products also clearly identifiable. Currently this is done with an inkjet system, which now should be replaced but due to his interference, its high maintenance costs and ongoing costs through consumption of ink and solvent by a laser marking system. Ideally, a fiber laser system should be used, as this maintenance-free and wear-free works. Sampling some test strips made of polypropylene has shown good results in terms of readability. The required throughput speeds for the Inlinebeschriftung at 35 meters per minute can be achieved easily. In this case, laser marking thus offers a viable alternative to other methods of marking. Due to the small size of the laser head for fiber lasers the laser system integrates in this case very easily into the existing machine solution. As a system supplier of such and other laser systems, we design complex special solutions and develop new procedures with you.
