Three common types of laser marking machines are widely used: fiber laser marking machine,UV laser marking machine,CO2 laser marking machine. The most suitable machine for glass marking or engraving is the UV laser marking machine.
The principle of UV laser marking machine is using a high-energy laser beam from a 355nm UV laser to irradiate the glass surface (silicon dioxide) for optical and physical reactions.As a result, the marks left on the surface of the glass after burning and gasification occur, which is the marking process of the UV laser marking machine.
The Development History of Glass Laser Engraving
Glass is a common material in daily life, widely used in industry and construction, and can also be made into various handicrafts for retail. At the same time, glass is also a fragile material, engraving on glass can easily cause cracks.There are many traditional methods for glass marking, such as thermal processing, screen printing, etching, etc. These processes pose a great challenge to glass, and even a slight mistake can easily damage the glass.
So, with the continuous development of the glass industry, the requirements for the identification and processing of glass products are becoming increasingly high. Traditional marking methods often have low efficiency and unstable quality, which cannot meet market demand.
With the continuous progress of industrial technology and the rise of the laser industry, the technology of using lasers to mark and engrave glass surfaces has become increasingly mature, making glass processing safer and more efficient.
