However, it is totally not difficult to achieve through laser drilling.

Except laser cutting, laser welding and laser marking technology, laser drilling is also one of the most important processing technologies in the mobile phone manufacturing. Because the laser can concentrate the energy in a very small area and it is controlled through the computer, it is very convenient to satisfy the processing requirement accurately.

In industrial manufacturing, laser is one of the most preferred marking technologies. Metal, plastic, ceramic and other materials can all be marked by the laser in wave length 1064nm (infrared ray), 532nm (green ray) and 355nm (ultraviolet ray). As a high-tech tool, the laser can be appropriate to mark numbers, texts, bar code and matrix code. For example in the figure below, laser marking on plastic bottle, adapter, container seal and ear tags.

The glasses are widely used in the architecture, daily product, medical, chemical, home furnishing, electronic product, instrument, nuclear engineering and other fields. The glass is fragile. Therefore, it has a high technology to engrave on the surface of the glass products. The laser marking machine adopts non-contact processing, with short processing time and refined marking line. It can be used to make refined marking on the glass, such as any complicated character, image, pattern, trademark, LOGO, bar code, matrix code, batch number, signature and so on. All these can be completed with the laser marking machine. The following are the laser marking processes of glass products.

The laser marking technology is one of the biggest application fields in laser processing. The laser marking can print out various characters, symbols and patterns. The character size can be ranged from the millimeter to micron dimension. This is of special significance to the refined processing of the product. As a modern precise processing mean, the laser marking technology has significant advantages compared with the traditional means of corrosion, electrosparking, mechanical carving, and printing processing.

At present, most electronic products, such as the main board of the mobile phone, computer and other key elements have identifications of traceable information. At the present stage, it is commonly adopted the ink label paper to stick on the product. However, such a mean has many problems, big amount of consumables, high pollution, high labor cost, the marks are easy to be eliminated and so on. Aimed at such condition, replacing the label paper by the laser marking code has become a tendency of the industry. With the automatic PCB laser marking machine, bar code, two-dimension code and character, pattern and other information can be marked on the printing circuit board and the relevant components.

Compared with the surface processing technology of the traditional metal nameplate, the appearance of the fiber laser marking machine succeeds in solving a series of difficult problems. Its characteristics lie in the high marking precision, fast speed and stable performance. Printing ink and other mediums are not required to cover the metal surface. Marks will be made on the surface of the nameplate directly with the laser. In addition, it is controlled through computer. It has easy operation and can print various kinds of complicated patters, characters, QR codes and other contents.
