Laser marking on steel
In this Application News, two types of steel laser marking have been carried out.
On the one hand, a first marking of a datamatrix code which is perfectly readable and has good contrast. The datamatrix code can contain fixed and variable fields for perfect traceability of production lines, operators, dates, batch codes, serialization, and so on.
On the other hand, the second marking is a human readable marking where the residual steel is cleaned to obtain a white marking, which makes it more visible, in a circular shape that adapts to the shape of the part. It should be emphasized that the datamatrix and text marking time is only 2.0 seconds. All this is made possible thanks to the Macsa ID F-9030 DUO.
